Papers of R. Selkirk Panton, 1901-1991

Abstract Or Scope

The collection contains material from three main stages of Panton's life: 1926-1940, derived from Panton's pre-war life in Europe; 1940-1944, during the period of his internment by the Germans in Denmark; 1945-1951, his return to active reporting, including attendance of the Nuremberg war crime trials and reporting on the Korean War. Other papers concern the journalistic and charity work he undertook following his return to Australia in 1952 and draft materials for planned autobiographical works.
