Summary
  • The bulk of the papers comprise original manuscripts of works by Collingridge. They consist of drafts of a number of his published works, together with drafts of a large number of articles. Some of the manuscripts include sketches, maps, mockups and lists of subscribers. Apart from one business letter, there is no correspondence in the papers. Also included with the papers is a hand-painted globe depicting world geography in 1530. Dating from the late nineteenth century, it is believed to be one of the earliest globes made in Australia. This globe has been transferred to the Maps Section of the Library (MAP GLOBE 11).
