Papers of Henry Bournes Higgins (1851-1929)
- HIGGINS, Henry Bournes (1851-1929): Politician and judge.
- Correspondence, journals, notebooks of speeches and writings, press
cuttings and printed material; Higgins family correspondence
- 1841-1929
- Linear feet of shelf space occupied: 4 feet
- Available for reference.
The collection is arranged in seven series beginning with H. B. Higgins
correspondence (Series 1 ) and the Higgins Family correspondence (Series
2) both arranged in separate chronological order.
The greater part of the H. B. Higgins correspondence concerns his work
as first president of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Court
(1906-22), and the politics of the period as they affected his position
and authority; among his correspondents are the leading politicians and
legal figures of the day. There is also correspondence relating to
Higgins' support for Irish Home Rule (1911-21), and some personal
correspondence notably with his niece Nettie Palmer
(nee Higgins). In addition there are notebooks of Higgins' speeches, legal
extracts, private journals including an account of Henry's voyage to
Australia in 1870, and a family tour of India and Europe in 1886, and
volumes of press cuttings.
The Higgins Family correspondence dates from 1841 and comprises mainly
letters between Henry's parents John and Annie Higgins. John Higgins, a
Wesleyan minister, travelled on circuit in Northern Ireland and continued
Victoria in 1870. The latter portion of the family correspondence includes
letters of Nettie Higgins (Palmer) to her mother, 1894 to 1910, and
letters of Mervyn Higgins (Son of H. B. Higgins) to his parents, written
from Oxford, London, Melbourne and Egypt over the period 1900 to 1916.
A collection of photographs of members of the Higgins Family is held in
the Pictorial Section of the Library, and sketch of polling day at North
Melbourne, 1901.
A name index to Series 1, the H. B. Higgins correspondence 1854-1929,
