Introduction

Scope and Contents

The papers in this collection represent a comprehensive record of the two main areas in which Pittock has had a long-term involvement: climate change and Indigenous affairs.

Papers relating to his research into issues of climate change created in his official capacity as a scientist at the CSIRO are held by its archive. The papers in this, Pittock's personal archive, relate in the main to activities that are external to those of this work at CSIRO. Included is correspondence with key scientists, Pittock's writings on related issues, including books and articles; papers presented at national and international conferences and to numerous community groups; and papers and reports from his involvement with various groups, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Panel and the Garnaut Review on Climate Change.

Pittock has been an active supporter for Indigenous rights from his youth. This support is reflected in his papers, which include correspondence with key people such as Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Kath Walker); writings by Pittock; reports, submissions to government, published material, news cuttings and ephemera. There are also papers relating to his membership of several organisations working on related issues. These include the Quaker Service Council of Australia; the National Union of Australian University Students' Aboriginal scholarship scheme; The Federal Council for Advancement of Aborigines' and Torres Strait Islanders as convenor of the Legislative Reform Committee (1967-1970) and then as Land Rights convenor for the National Tribal Council (1970-1973); and as a member of the National Aborigines' Day Observance Committee.
