Anthropological Society of Queensland records

This series consists of two runs of alphabetical indexed correspondence files. There is nothing to distinguish the two files which hold correspondence covering the same time period and deal with similar correspondents. Many of the letters come from informants, that is people who were gathering information on Aboriginal groups for Dr. Winterbotham.
