Introduction

Scope and Contents

The MS Acc09.193 consignment comprises typescripts of articles, seminars and conference papers, addresses and other writings; correspondence with colleagues and friends (often with copies of their papers) and with some institutions (mainly trusts); biographical material (mainly in relation to academic positions and publications); copies of references prepared for colleagues and (former) students; some student and early teaching notes; and a small quantity of material relating to Stretton's long association with the South Australian Housing Trust.

The series of Stretton's writings from 1946 is comprehensive, but apart from these and some early student essays and teaching notes the papers mostly relate to the later years of Stretton's career and public life.

Correspondents include Bettina Cass, H.C. Coombs, David Donnison, Sol Encel, James Friguglietti, Israel Getzler, Barry Hill, Ken Inglis, Derry Jeffares, John Langmore, Lionel Orchard, Allan Patience, Mark Peel, Martin Rein, Paul Streeton, Ivan Szelenyi, Don Watson and Michael Young.

The MS Acc16.053 consignment comprises a letter of Peter Munz from 1972, a reprint of Munz's essay 'History and theory: Studies in the Philosophy of History' (1971), along with letters of Richard Kennedy from 1997-1998 and a reprint of Kennedy's book "Australian Welfare History: Critical Essays" (1982).
