These latter were an object of detailed study by Peta Colebatch, who used the material for her 1974 dissertation “To find a path : the Army in Papua New Guinea.”
Among the highlights of the collection are the detailed interview notes and transcripts of over one hundred Australian ex-servicemen in Papua New Guinea. The series also contains materials relating to Papua New Guinea’s Rural Improvement Program, which was studied by H. K. Colebatch around 1975-76.
