Appendix

Series 29 Subject files, 1936-91
The files in this series were all created by Clark, but they did not
form a definite sequence. Some of them provide documentation of events,
organisations or projects in which Clark was involved, such as his Order
of Australia award in 1975, his membership of the Australian Society of
Authors, and his assistance to the Parliament House Construction Authority
in the early 1980s. These files may contain letters, but they mostly comprise
roneoed papers, cuttings and printed items. The other files, especially
those on individuals, are essentially reference files and consist largely
of cuttings, photocopies and printed items. Occasionally, however, there
will be some letters. For instance, the files on David Campbell contain
letters about the funeral oration delivered by Clark in 1979.
It should be noted that in the case of some individuals, such as Eleanor
Dark, Patricia Dobrez, Judah Waten and Patrick White, there are files
of letters in Series 1, whereas the files in this Series contains cuttings
or other items about these writers.
