Series 10. Vietnam and Laos, 1959 - 1966
In 1959 Forsyth was appointed Ambassador to South Vietnam and Minister to Laos. With this appointment the Australian legation in South Vietnam became an embassy. That the political situation in South Vietnam was complex and tense at this time is perhaps reflected by the number of political and technical reports, cables and despatches in this series. Much of the personal correspondence is marked as confidential again representing the difficulties of the times. There are a number of photograph albums containing black and white official photographs of Vietnam at that time. Some of the photographs have captions and notes typed by Forsyth. For preservation reasons, photographs from one album have been re housed in protective folders. Correspondents include Lord Casey, Sir Arthur Tange, Tran Van Lam (Ambassador of Vietnam), Sir John G. Crawford, F.J. Blakeney, David Hay and immediate family members.

Series 12. South Pacific Commission, 1956 - 1968
In 1963 Forsyth's took a second term as Secretary-General with the South Pacific Commission. Forsyth saw this term as the fruition of his earlier work. It was during this time that changes were taking place with the move towards the 'de-colonisation' of the South Pacific Commission in the 1970s. Forsyth prepared policy papers on the future of the South Pacific Commission during this term, concluding that Pacific islanders would tire of the Commission if they were not given a direct share in decision making. This series contains personal and general correspondence, some Secretariat papers, review and policy papers and information bulletins...

Series 13. Lebanon, 1967 - 1983
In 1967 Forsyth was appointed the first Australian Ambassador to Lebanon with the task of establishing the Australian Embassy in Beirut. He arrived in Lebanon just before the outbreak of the Six-Day War in 1967. This series contains official reports, cables, personal and official correspondence, political despatches from Beirut and a series of 'crisis diaries' documenting the Six-Day War. This was Forsyth's last and most difficult posting with the Department of External Affairs. After returing to Canberra at the beginning of 1969 he took most of that year on sick leave before retiring in October 1969. Personal and official correspondence contained in this series shows the strain of ill health, the pressures of the war and the difficulties of setting up the Australian embassy...

Series 14. Papers relating to Pacific Islands, 1951 - 1991
In the early 1970s Forsyth did consultancy work for the Department of Foreign Affairs on an occasional basis. He travelled the Pacific extensively both for the Australian government and for private interest, he attended South Pacific Conferences and wrote newspaper articles and books. From 1971-73 he wrote 'Post-colonial Pacific' for the Australian Institute of International Affairs, it was revised from 1973-75 and considered by a number of publishers. Forsyth lodged the unpublished manuscript with the Library in 1981. The manuscript and working materials are included in this series. Following the 1973 Guam resolution the South Pacific Commission was absorbed by the South Pacific Conference and the Commission met in new form. This series includes Conference and Forum papers from the 1970s and 1980s, papers and notes on the 'de-colonisation' of the Pacific, a sizeable quantity of research papers, articles on individual French territories, general Pacific issues and a wide range of printed material and press clippings...

Series 15. 'Recollections of a maverick diplomat', 1970s-1993
Forsyth started writing and researching his three-part autobiography in the late 1970s. The first book, 'In old Australia', 1841-1941, was completed in 1982. The second book, 'The Evatt years', 1942-51, was largely written although not completed, and the third book, 'Pride and fall' exists only as a collection of notes, a sketched outline and a draft introduction. 'The Evatt years' includes chapters at various stages of completion: some have been reworked extensively, others have stayed as first drafts, yet others consist mainly of transcribed tape material. The introduction to 'Pride and fall' exists only on a transcribed tape. The overall book has a complex structure with three major books, part numbers within the individual books and some chapters containing four parts. Forsyth extracted original papers from his collection in order to refresh his memory or to reproduce as annexes to chapters reorganising correspondence into subjects matching chapters, for instance, 'Dili' or 'Japan'. Where possible the Library has restored original papers to a chronological context...
