Appendix
Box List
The early cuttings in the 1938-44 album include reports of speeches by Clark at Melbourne University in 1938, his engagement to Dymphna Lodewyckx, and their departure for Europe. Most of the other cuttings relate to the War and international relations and were taken from German, British and Australian newspapers. The 1954 cuttings refer to a statement on Indo-China signed by Bishop E.H. Burgmann, Professor J.W. Davidson, Professor C.P. Fitzgerald and Manning Clark.
In general, Clark did not maintain separate cutting files, but instead interfiled cuttings with letters and other papers. The cuttings are, in fact, very extensive. Of particular note are the extensive cuttings about Clark in the sequences entitled ‘Comments on my life’ and ‘Public life’ in Series 1, the files on overseas trips in Series 10, the reviews that are among the papers on each of his publications (Series 12-25) and the subject files in Series 29.
