This suede-bound volume contains a handwritten Roll of Convocation, listing members 1 to 201 from 1951 to 1952. It is not clear why it was not maintained for later years. There are numerous corrections to the numbering, spelling of names and the order of entries. There is a typed ‘Convocation List’ in the front cover and many of the names on this list are not in the volume, so it may be that the formal list in the volume was abandoned when further errors were discovered.

These are printed booklets listing University officers, Council members, Chairmen of Council committees, former Officers, Emeritus Professors, Honorary graduates, and academic and senior administrative staff by Research School, Faculty or other organisational unit. There are also printed booklets of experts and speakers which are more selective lists of staff considered expert in particular subject areas available to comment to the media or speak at events.

The forms headed ‘Record of former member of University’ record name, department, file number, ‘if married to another member of ANU, husband’s/wife’s name’, degree conferred, country of birth, country from which recruited, scholarships and posts at ANU, date left ANU and posts held subsequently. Most relate to students but also to students who became staff members. It appears that the forms were to be the basis of a research project using punch cards to analyse where students were recruited from, when they left (either 1948-57 or 1958-67) and their subsequent career. This appears to be an attempt to evaluate the success of recruitment and scholarship programs for ‘early scholars’. The data seems to go to 1960 when the ANU and Canberra University College amalgamated. There are three separate runs of forms with no apparent reason for this.
