Appendix
Box List
Clark enrolled at the University of Melbourne as an undergraduate in March 1934 and was a student at Trinity College. He completed the course in 1937, gaining a first class honours degree in History. He returned to the University in 1944 as a lecturer in Political Science and later History, a post he held until he moved to Canberra in 1949.
There are very few papers for this period, but the lectures and lists of sources document the beginnings of Clark’s interest in Australian history.
