Introduction

Scope and Contents

The papers mainly comprise correspondence, periodicals, meeting papers and annual reports by various literary, conservation, ornithological, national parks, wild-life, tree-preservation, limnology and other societies. They include the Wild Life Preservation Society, Nature Conservation Council of NSW, the Royal Australian Ornithologists Union, the Australian Society of Authors, World Wildlife Fund (World Wide Fund for Nature), the National Trust of Australia, the Australian Heritage Commission, International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), and the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Other papers in the collection include letters to Serventy from fellow naturalists, academics, societies, government departments, editors, politicians and others, together with some copies of replies; family and personal correspondence; publishers' correspondence; writings by Serventy including drafts of articles, reviews, broadcasts and books; files maintained as editor of Wildlife in Australia and Australia's wildlife heritage; subject files kept on a range of mainly conservation and natural history subjects; files relating to film and television documentaries; conference papers; newspaper cuttings and other papers.

Publications from the 1972-1986 instalments have been kept with the collection. From 1987-1991 many loose publications were either discarded or integrated with the Library's serial and monograph collections. From 1993, publications in files were retained with the collection.

Conditions Governing Access

Please refer to the collection's catalogue record for the access conditions (http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2611722).

Conditions Governing Use

Copying and publishing of unpublished manuscript material is subject to copyright restrictions. For such material, written permission to publish must be obtained from the copyright holder(s).

Preferred Citation

Items from this collection should be cited as '[Title or description of manuscript item], Papers of Vincent Serventy, National Library of Australia, [class number, box number and series and/or file number]'.

Provenance

The papers were donated by Serventy (mainly under the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme) in numerous instalments between 1972 and 2003.

Oral history interviews with Vincent Serventy by Hazel de Berg and Gregg Borschmann are held at ORAL DeB 582 and ORAL TRC 3535 respectively.

Arrangement

The early instalments (1972-91) were received in a state of great disorder, comprising almost entirely loose papers. The order of these consignments was determined by Library staff. An exception to this is the sequence of subject files of the Wild Life Preservation Society in the 1987 instalment (Files 35-59). From 1993 onwards, the papers were contained in files, although the order of the files was imposed by Library staff.
