Series 4 Newspaper cuttings, 1938-54
The early cuttings in the 1938-44 album include reports
of speeches by Clark at Melbourne University in 1938, his engagement to
Dymphna Lodewyckx, and their departure for Europe. Most of the other cuttings
relate to the War and international relations and were taken from German,
British and Australian newspapers. The 1954 cuttings refer to a statement
on Indo-China signed by Bishop E.H. Burgmann, Professor J.W. Davidson,
Professor C.P. Fitzgerald and Manning Clark.
In general, Clark did not maintain separate cutting files,
but instead interfiled cuttings with letters and other papers. The cuttings
are, in fact, very extensive. Of particular note are the extensive cuttings
about Clark in the sequences entitled ‘Comments on my life’
and ‘Public life’ in Series 1, the files on overseas trips in
Series 10, the reviews that are among the papers on each of his publications
(Series 12-25) and the subject files in Series 29.
