Preferred Citation

Items from this collection should be cited as '[Title or description of manuscript item], Papers of Roger Milliss, National Library of Australia, [class/series/file/item number(s)]'.

Provenance

The Library purchased the papers from Roger Milliss in 1991 and 2022.

Arrangement

MS 8344, Original consignment: The Papers had been listed and roughly sorted before coming to the Library. The arrangements of these files have, therefore, been maintained (for example Series 5-9).

Roger Milliss has decided to keep the letters he wrote to his parents with his papers. These group of correspondence (Series 1) has therefore been kept with Roger Milliss' Paper, and not with the Papers of Bruce and Edith Milliss (MS 8345).

Part of the papers was in disarray and it was therefore necessary to rearrange them (for example Series 1-4 and 10-11).
