Series 26 A historian’s apprenticeship, 1990-91

Clark wrote the drafts of this book in the last months of his life. After his death the four chapters were edited by Dymphna Clark, who reduced them to three: Wanting to tell the story, Learning to tell the story, Trying to tell the story. The book also contained two excerpts from A history of Australia on W.C. Wentworth and Robert O’Hara Burke. It was published by Melbourne University Press in 1992.

This series contains Clark’s manuscript and three typescript drafts.
