Appendix
Box List
Canberra University College, which was affiliated with the University of Melbourne, took its first students in 1930. Most of the students were public servants and all were part-timers. After the War, funding for the College was increased significantly. In January 1949 Herbert Burton was appointed Principal and Professor of Economic History and his immediate task was the appointment of new staff. His first appointment was Clark, who arrived in Canberra in September 1949 to take up the first chair of History. He remained in this position until 1960, when the College amalgamated with the Australian National University.
There are relatively few papers on Clark’s work as a teacher or on Canberra University College generally. Most of the papers relate to meetings of Australian historians in 1955-58.
