This series of binders contain typescript pages which may be a manuscript for a proposed publication on international affairs between 1919 and 1948. Each binder appears to contain material for a chapter with later binders including information on dates, notes on books, and transcripts of documents. Item 9 is missing. The last item consists of annotated typescript ‘confidential notes’ about Victorian politicians, public servants and newspapers.

The binder contains handwritten notes of lectures (by Harold White, CL Drake and others) and summaries of reference books relating to library classification (including the Bliss system), reference work and book production. It appears that the material was used and added to for training purposes within the ANU Library.

The two binders labelled '1st book Archives 1946-1948' and '2nd book Archives 1946-1948' contain roneoed typescript memos, minutes of meetings, reports and press releases.

It appears to be a deliberate collection of important documents to form the 'archives' of the University in its early days.

There are four copies of the album: one appears to be a file copy as it includes a list of photograph numbers in the back. Another is annotated to say that it was used in the London Office 1949-1952 (approx.). It is likely that the albums were compiled to show prospective staff members the facilities available at the University and in Canberra, as there are photographs of buildings, homes, churches, schools and recreational facilities. The 41 black and white photographs were taken by the Commonwealth Department of Information and are endorsed with a single number with L prefix so are closely related to a National Archives' series of photographs (CRS A1200).

The register records file numbers and titles for early files in ANUA 18, most of which were subsequently top-numbered or destroyed.

A note in the front of the volume explains the abbreviations used: A=consigned to Archives, D=destroyed, *=pruned of worthless material or combined file, though some files are marked both A and D. Many entries are crossed out and noted as 'Cancelled' with a new four-part number given.

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.

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’.
