Background:
'In June 1990, the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau (AIDAB) contracted the Queensland Forest Service (QFS) and the CSIRO, Division of Tropical Crops and Pastures to undertake the Vanuatu Forest Resource Survey Project. The principal aim of the project was 'to contribute to the national objective of the Vanuatu Government to plan and manage the country's forest and agricultural resources in conjunction with appropriate land use development and conservation strategies for the economic benefit of the Vanuatu people'. During the project a geographically-referenced micro-computer based planning tool called the Vanuatu Resource Information System (VANRIS) was developed. VANRIS integrates spatially referenced information for the entire country concerning the type, distribution and current use of the natural resources with population distribution'. This Abstract was taken from Bellamy, J A (Ed), VANRIS Handbook, CSIRO (Qld), 1993

This series contains mainly black and white photographs of people associated with the University: staff, students, Chancellors, Council members, Creative Fellows, and visitors. Some envelopes contain many photographs over a staff member’s career. The photographs are contained in envelopes, alphabetical by surname. The majority of the photographs were taken by staff photographers or by local photographers under contract, but there are also some press photographs.

This series contains mainly black and white photographs of events, buildings, places, official visits, conferences, artworks, Creative Arts Fellows, staff and students. Many of the photographs were taken by staff photographers for use in The ANU Reporter, and the issue in which a photograph was used is often noted on the reverse. The photographs are held in envelopes organised by subjects, though this is not consistent. For instance, all photographs used in issues of The ANU Reporter for 1996–2000 are held in envelopes labelled ‘ANU Reporter photographs’ rather than by individual subjects.

The papers include notes and theses on Physics and correspondence with other physicists, travel diaries, appointment diaries as Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the Australian National University, correspondence relating to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, correspondence and other papers as Chairman of the Universities Council of the Tertiary Education Commission, invitations, cassette tapes of his ANU farewell function, a radio interview and an address by Lord Rutherford, photographs of ANU buildings, functions and staff, and personal correspondence with ANU staff and professional contacts.

This series contains photographs, negatives and transparencies of the University campus, buildings, functions, events and people associated with the University: staff, students, Chancellors, Council members and visitors. They were taken by staff photographers between the 1960s and 2006.

Video material created and collected by the Instructional Resources Unit (IRU) for teaching and other ANU uses such as 1) promotional, e.g. University Open Days, student activities and campus life, facilities and study requirements for students, etc., 2) official visits and events, e.g. conferring of degrees ceremonies, the 14th Dalai Lama’s visit, etc., 3) interviews - Professor AD Hope; Professor Manning Clark; Dr HC Coombs; Emeritus Professor Oscar Spate; Sir John Eccles; British social anthropologist, Sir Edmund Leach, etc., 4) lectures and public addresses - Research School of Physical Sciences, Department of Zoology and a series of Twilight Lectures presented by the ANU and the National Aquarium, 5) commissions and contracts e.g. Questacon, Canberra College of Advanced Education, 1990 Floriade Festival, NSW Chamber of Mines Metals and Extractive Industries, Commonwealth Environment Protection Agency, etc., 6) commissions by ANU Departments, often recorded in the field, e.g. Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories; fossil locations in the Gogo area of the Kimberleys; Department of Forestry student field trips; the freshwater and wetland ecology of Iron Bark Creek, etc. At the time of the IRU’s closure, Departments were contacted and encouraged to claim any items which they considered to be of value and for which they had an ongoing use. This explains some of the gaps in the collection.

This is a small set of printed enrolment procedures and faculty handbooks.

There are audiotape and cassette tape recordings of concerts performed by SCUNA, songbooks, programs, posters, Committee minutes (1983-2003 with gaps), correspondence and financial records, and SCUNA-branded items such as t-shirts.

The index cards were used by Price and others in the Department of Demography in their research on immigrants: their origins and their place of settlement. They summarise information about immigrants sourced from the Department of Immigration including naturalisation files 1903-1970. There are two main groups of cards: non-Europeans (Chinese, Japanese and other Asian) in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland sorted by province and district in their home countries, and European migrants by country of origin. Cards for Jewish people, Greeks, Italians and East Europeans are sorted by Australian place of residence at the time of naturalisation (state, then city or country); there are separate runs for Germans in South Australia and Italians in Griffith, New South Wales. Cards for other Europeans are sorted by country, then district or village of origin (including Germans, Austrians, Russians, Ukrainians, Czechs, Slovaks, Turks, Cypriots, Hungarians, Rumanians, Balts, Poles and immigrants from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, France, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Norway, United States, South America, Syria and Lebanon). Sampling was 1:1 for small groups and earlier years, reaching 1:4 when Germans and Greeks were numerous and 1:5 when Italians were numerous.

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.

There is original correspondence from Vice-Chancellor Copland, Dr HC Coombs, WR (‘Rusty’) Crocker, Professor JW Davidson, Sir Frederic Eggleston, Professor R Firth, Professor RC Mills, Sir David Rivett, Roland Wilson, Professor RD Wright, and Vice-Chancellor Melville, including carbon copies of Hancock’s correspondence with them and copies of various reports and minutes of meetings.

There are fifteen reels of microfilm of the plan registry. The first two reels have their own numbering system but the others use an annual single number to identify the plans of ANU buildings and landscaping projects.

The papers relate to confidential matters involving University staff during Crawford’s time as Director of the Research School of Pacific Studies and as Vice-Chancellor. They were enclosed in envelopes annotated by D Hodgkin, the Registrar, identifying their contents and restrictions to access. Items 1 to 6 were originally held in one large bundle.

The records include display photographs used for promotion, recruitment and the activities of the Centre.

There are two items of which the first is more significant: it contains confidential correspondence about Sir Howard Florey, Sir Mark Oliphant and the Research School of Physical Sciences, Lord Lindsay and other matters. The second relates to Coombs appointment as Economic Advisor to the Commonwealth Government in 1972.

There are three files which relate to the recruitment of Sir Keith Hancock and Sir Howard Florey’s report on the John Curtin School of Medical Research. They contain confidential correspondence which was either removed or withheld from official files.

The lectures are typescript or printed and most of them are Commonwealth Literary Fund lectures. Some proceedings of commencement ceremonies are included.

The Australian National Time Service at Mount Stromlo Observatory engages in pure research and sends out time signals which are used for the correction of clocks and as a frequency standard for the determination of exact locations in geodetic and cartographic work, as well as for southern ocean navigation. The Time Service researches, primarily, into problems connected with the motions of the earth and their seasonal and occasional determination. The Photographic Zenith Tube (PZT) is an instrument that checks the time by astronomical means, recording the passages of stars close to the zenith. The PZT was brought into regular use at the Mount Stromlo Observatory from March/April 1957. The last plate observed was on 27 August 1985. The records in this series comprise PZT observing data, Positional Astronomy (National Time Service) day books, minutes of meetings, correspondence, subject files, as well as photographs, diagrams and drawings.

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.
