Scope and content
Cuttings of historical interest from newspapers, chiefly Mercury, Australasian & Argus and The Critic, stuck in albums made from old catalogues (e.g. Army &Navy Stores) or old medical diaries. There are rough indexes to each volume except the first two. The volumes were originally numbered 16 -42; no volumes 1 -15 were received, possibly the numbers were left for the cuttings still loose in envelopes (see P.1/20) or they may refer to other notebooks and files.
