The collection includes scripts of at least 80 plays, such as The Squatter's daughter and The Man from outback, as well as loose, untitled pages of playscripts and notebooks. Bert Bailey is most famously associated with the theatrical and film versions of On our selection, Dad and Dave come to town and Dad Rudd M.P. which are well documented here by scripts, stage directions, loose scripts, press cuttings, photographs and legal documents. Also featured are theatre programmes, posters and acting editions of plays. Press cuttings, printed matter and photographs include numerous theatre personalities. Personal and family correspondence and memorabilia are also included, notably an extensive collection of draft stories written by Doreen Bailey.
