MON81: Elizabeth Moulton Eggleston research files

SERIES DETAILS

Series identifierMON81Series titleElizabeth Moulton Eggleston research filesSeries descriptionThis series was transferred to the Archives from the Centre for Research into Aboriginal Affairs in about 1981. File numbers allocated by the Centre, and noted on the accession list, indicate possibly three previous series have been combined to form this one. A distinct sub-series of Dr Eggleston's thesis research files can be identified. Item numbers 1-102, 282-381 previously numbered by Dr Eggleston as file nos.1-326 document her fieldwork in Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria between 1964 and 1970, and the progress of her thesis through various drafts. The remaining files, for which the original system of numbering is not documented, are chiefly associated with Dr Eggleston's work both at the Centre and as a tutor with the Law Faculty between 1971 and 1976. Alphabetical and subject correspondence files, reports, seminar papers, and tutorial notes are included, along with files related to a period of study leave in Canada and the United States, and numerous files associated with the publication of Dr Eggleston's thesis as "Fear, Favour or Affection". The collection also includes correspondence, reports and seminar papers accumulated at the Centre prior to the appointment of Dr Eggleston.Date range1945 - 1977Series typePersonal PapersLinear metreage6.12Extent (boxes)34Format, size, conditionfoolscap foldersKeywordsCentres & InstitutesPersonal Records
