Papers of Vincent Serventy
Scope and Content Note
Papers
c1904-2003
69.08 m. (422 boxes + 3 folio items)
Available for reference
The papers were donated by Serventy (mainly under the Taxation
Incentives for the Arts Scheme) in numerous instalments between 1972 and
2003.
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
N.S.W., 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 N.S.W. 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.
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 Note
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 (folders 35-59). From 1993 onwards, the papers were contained in
files, although the order of the files was imposed by Library staff.
Biographical Note
Writer, film maker, lecturer and conservationist. Vincent Noel Serventy
was born on 6 January 1926 at Armadale, WA, the son of Victor Vincent and Annie
Serventy. He was educated at Perth Modern School and the University of Western
Australia, completing a Bachelor of Science (1945) and a Bachelor of Education
(1950).
In 1955-58 he was a senior lecturer in science and mathematics at the
Claremont Teachers' College, WA and in 1958-64 a teacher with the WA Education
Department. Serventy has published more than 40 books and numerous articles on
Australian natural history and conservation and made more than 50 documentary
films including 'Nature walkabout'. He edited Wildlife in Australia
magazine from 1966-82 and was the editor-in-chief of the five volumes of
Australia's wildlife heritage, 1973-74.
Serventy has been active in numerous wildlife organisations. He led
several natural history expeditions including an expedition into the Great
Victoria Desert (1960), was a member of the first party to cross Lake Eyre by
boat in 1975 and was zoologist to the Australian Geographic Society expedition
to Recherche Archipelago in 1951. He was awarded the Australian Natural History
medallion in 1974 and the Dutch Order of the Golden Ark in 1985. He was made a
member of the Order of Australia in 1976 and an Emeritus Fellow of the
Australia Council Literature Board in 1993.
He married Caroline Mary Darbyshire in 1955 and has two daughters, Karen
and Cathy and one son, Matthew. Carol Serventy collaborated with her husband on
