The papers were received in 1969 from Mr Kenneth Hince as part of a larger collection which included 2,500 books and a considerable amount of sheet music. There are some papers relating to Hince's activities as a collector and music critic, but it is basically an "artificial collection", in the sense that the papers were brought together after the actions to which they relate had occurred, not concurrently, and were derived from many sources. Almost all the papers relate to music, and primarily Australian music, and were assembled by Hince over a period of 25 years.
