Vietnam War; Vietnamese Art

These posters, calendars and artworks were collected over the course of David Marr’s career. There are a mix of prints and originals from the 1930s to the mid 1990s. They largely focus on the Indochina Wars - particularlry the Vietnam War - and the politics of Vietnam during that time but the series also includes art and folk art not specifically related to these topics as well as material focusing on Laos, Cambodia and other regions. The perspectives of the material is mixed, work coming from North and South Vietnam, Europe (mostly France and Russia), Australia and The United States. The series contains examples of propaganda, fine art, children’s art, promotional material for private, not-for-profit and academic organisations and events, educational material, work related to charity and foreign-aid and material discussing war crimes.

Some material in this collection contains accounts of torture and images of injuries.

HEAPS is a national database which provides details of health promotion material and activities throughout Australia and New Zealand. It acts as a directory of contact people working in the areas of health education and promotion and as a guide to the programs and resources they have produced. Over 1000 topics are covered on HEAPS and include subject areas such as Aboriginal health, nutrition, women's health, occupational health and safety, smoking, drug and alcohol misuse, and mental health. HEAPS was initiated in response to recommendations from the Australian Health Ministers’ Conference in April 1985, and a meeting of State Directors of Health Promotion. The lack of well organised and easily accessible information was identified as one of the major blocks to the growth of health promotion in Australia. It was recommended that a computerised database be established to alleviate this problem. HEAPS was piloted in Victoria in 1985, and then steadily spread across Australia. HEAPS was jointly funded by State and Territory Health Departments (NSW Health, SA Health, Queensland Health, &c) and by the Commonwealth Department of Community Services and Health under the National Health Promotion Program (NHPP). State Health Departments funded the employment and resourcing of State Co-ordinators, who were responsible for the collection of data, the management and promotion of HEAPS at the local level, and servicing of most search requests. The Commonwealth provided funds for a national office, originally located at Victoria College, Rusden Campus, which was responsible for overall system co-ordination, development, marketing and evaluation. In 1991 the management of HEAPS was transferred to a private company, Datascape Information Pty Ltd, and towards the end of 1994 it was taken over by Prometheus Information in Canberra. By 2000 further expansion was no longer possible, due to limited funding, and, also, the need for HEAPS as a stand-alone system was gradually being eroded by the increasing availability of health information on the internet. Initially HEAPS could be accessed via the National Library’s MEDLINE. Under private management it was available as a set of floppy disks with a printed manual, and finally on CD-ROM. The holdings consist of administrative papers, health information and promotional materials such as pamphlets, booklets, posters, video recordings, &c. and information on the agencies supplying the materials. Although the original intention of the project seems to have been to inform the public on the location and availability of materials, many agencies supplied copies of their materials, and these have been retained (ref. HEAPS files, N349/1467, Training manual and miscellaneous notes, Oct 1989).

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. It was assembled by the Pro-Chancellor Pauline Griffin and Giles Pickford in the Public Affairs Division who were involved in organising the celebrations. 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.
