There is a consolidated listing for 1949–1956 and separate annual volumes for the period 1977–1981.
Australian National UniversityThere are a variety of publications in this series: general publications on undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses available, the annual publication ‘Studying at the ANU’, information for overseas students, directories of services for students, leaflets about scholarships and special admission schemes, leaflets about studies in each faculty, and information about accommodation.
Australian National UniversityThe National Graduate was a publication produced by Public Relations and designed to inform members of convocation about current activities and research being undertaken at the University. There are many gaps in this master set but it is not clear whether particular issues were produced. One issue of The Convocation News newsletter from 1990 is also included.
Australian National UniversityNatuni was an annual publication for members of Convocation, primarily graduates of the University and current and former staff. Issues held: No 1, Autumn 1980 – No 7, Winter 1988. There is a long gap between issues 5 and 6 with no issues published in 1984–1986.
Australian National UniversityRoneoed copies of seminar and conference papers presented at the earliest academic events at the University.
Australian National UniversityThe binders contain typed research notes prepared for the writing of the 50th anniversary history of the University by Stephen Foster and Margaret Varghese. There are often copies of source material (correspondence or other documents) attached to the notes. The dates listed against each folder on the item list refer to the period of time covered by the notes rather than their date of creation – there is material dated from 1904 included.
ANU History ProjectThese are printed programs for graduation ceremonies and for the conferring of honorary degrees.
Australian National UniversityThe 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.
Office of the RegistrarThis 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.
Office of the RegistrarThis collection includes teaching materials, publications, material relating to the theatre and travel, as well as family photographs and objects, including items of academic dress.
