Having recognised the growing impact of the US economy on Australia, both through investment and trade, Sir John Crawford, as Director and Professor of Economics, Research School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University, wished to make these matters the subject of research within the School’s Economics and International Relations Departments. On discovering that Donald Brash was examining possible subjects for a Doctoral thesis at the Australian National University, Professor Crawford invited him to conduct a survey of American corporate investment in Australian manufacturing. The papers in this series comprise the notes and working papers of Donald Brash in preparation for his Doctoral thesis on the contribution made to Australian development by American investment, 1960-1965, and the likely future trends in this field.

This is an artificial collection of records, publications, both printed and audiovisual, and memorabilia associated with the celebration of the University’s fiftieth anniversary in 1996.

The material has been boxed in acid-free document cases and each of these has been treated as an item.

The directories provide telephone extension numbers for staff and university departments and units. Up until 1991 these were in one alphabetical run but were then divided into a general directory and a staff directory as the publication increased in size. The directories changed format over the years: between 1964 and 1982 they were loose-leaf rather than side-stapled or bound.
