Indenture between Elizabeth Denn and John Burton, and John Ash
This original indenture dated 22 July 1734 is handwritten on a page preprinted with the words ‘This Indenture’. It is a lease for land at Childerditch in Essex owned by Elizabeth Denn and John Burton and rented to John Ash for a total of ten shillings with a year’s rent of one peppercorn. It is framed between two sheets of glass and there are windows in the backing to allow annotations on the verso of the document to be read. A transcription has been made of the text, preserving original spelling with expansion of common abbreviations. Its provenance in relation to the University is yet to be fully established, though it is likely to have been donated prior to 1960 as there is a pencil annotation on the backing ‘18/6 CUC’ which appears to refer to the Canberra University College. It hung in the Law Librarian’s office for many years prior to transfer to the Archives.

The Making of The Australian National University: 1946-1996
Stephen Foster and Margaret Varghese trace the ANU’s history from its wartime origins to its fiftieth anniversary in 1996, featuring many of the prominent Australians who contributed to its making: ‘Nugget’ Coombs, Howard Florey, Mark Oliphant, W.K. Hancock, Douglas Copland, John Crawford, Peter Karmel; and others who stood out in particular fields, such as J.C.Eccles, Arthur Birch, Manning Clark, Russell Mathews, Ernest Titterton, Beryl Rawson, John Mulvaney, John Passmore and Frank Fenner.
The Making of The Australian National University explores many themes in higher education during the last half century, including academic freedom, relations between universities and politicians, recruitment practices, the ‘two cultures’ of science and the humanities, collegial versus managerial structures, equality of opportunity, student politics, academics and architecture and universities in the marketplace.

Mervyn Meggitt's Enga (Papua New Guinea) field materials
There are two sets of material ( 2 items) in the collection including:
(i) a ringbinder primarily containing a set of genealogical diagrams, and,
(ii) a set of worksheets primarily containing survey plots of garden land use and ownership
There is little or no descriptive documentation attached to either set of records. As far as is known, Meggitt never published the results of this land survey.
The garden land use and ownership survey was conducted in July-September 1960, with tabulation in 1961 (Meggitt 1978: 109-109, and monthly dating on the worksheets).
The survey covers gardens of the Kara clan (at least, and possibly others) at Sari, a location near Wabag, in what was then called the Upper Lai Census Division 12, Enga Province. The genealogical data also appears to be mainly of members of the Kara clan, and was collected and added to between the 1950s and c.1987.
Sari was Meggitt’s main field site between at least 1955 and the 1980s (Meggitt 1957: 161, and personal communication with P Wohlt, who visited Meggitt there in the 1980s-, and T Hays.
NB. These materials, as far as it known, are the only surviving raw field data from Meggitt’s Enga studies, as he destroyed the other materials before his death.

Honorary Doctor of Literature degree
The honorary Doctor of Literature degree was awarded to Mary Anne Hutton by the National University of Ireland on 26 October 1933. It is believed to have been awarded in recognition for her contribution to Irish scholarship through her translation of the Tain Bo Cuailgne (The Tain). The degree is held in its original leather scroll case and was transferred to the Archives with similar scroll cases containing greetings on the installation of the first Chancellor. The scroll case also contains a single-page highly-decorated manuscript of unknown origin, which includes the Paternoster, Ave Maria and Gloria Patri.

Basham collection of photographic slides
This archive of images was put together by the late Professor A. L. Basham (1914-1986) during his tenure as professor and head of the department of Oriental (later Asian) civilizations at ANU (1965-1979). He helped set up the Faculty of Oriental (later Asian) Studies at ANU and played a pioneering role in teaching and research in this area. His book The Wonder that Was India (London: Sidgwick and Jackson, 1954) became a signal study in the field. Basham undertook extensive fieldwork in India and studied several classical Indian languages.
Upon his retirement, the erstwhile Department of Art History at ANU inherited his extensive collection of 35-mm slides, each slide accompanied by an index card with Basham’s typewritten (and sometimes handwritten) notes on the image. As the archive reveals, Basham had a deep interest in art and visual culture as an essential aspect of historical study, and was an accomplished photographer. These images represent an important ingredient in the historiography of ‘classical’ civilization in Asia, variously carried out by scholars working within and outside the region in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
