One, signed by and featuring ‘M.L.W.’, was taken in Milton Park, Bowral, New South Wales on 10 October 1971; the other, taken at ‘the St Bart’s do to open the hostel for frail aged men’, and mentioning James Henry Richard Watson in its reverse inscription, was taken on 19 March 1995, and features ‘Ro’, ‘Fi’, ‘Jane’, ‘Elizabeth’, ‘Ann’ and ‘Mary’.

First published 1977.

Dust jacket

This subseries contains cuttings, copies and notes connected to George Watson's research and not filed by him with papers pertaining to specific projects (such as those represented earlier in this series).

A few items of indeterminate topic have been grouped in the opening '[Miscellaneous]' folder; the rest have been grouped by the cataloguer according as appropriate to topic or author, some more approximately than others, as represented by the list below.
