This collection was purchased in two parts. The first portion, consisting of two scrapbooks of the artist John Ford Paterson, was acquired in early 1982, having been offered for sale by Barbara Kerridge, the daughter of Betty Paterson in October, 1981. These scrapbooks contain press cuttings, photographs, correspondence and memorabilia relating to John Ford Paterson, his brother, Hugh Paterson, other members of the Paterson Family and the artist community of Melbourne in the period 1884 to 1930.
