Phosphate papers for Australia

p. 19 · Read in the full issue

The National Library of Australia has acquired a collection of papers which is expected to become a major source of information for historians of the Pacific phosphate industry.

The papers were those of John T. Arundel (1841-1919) who held positions with the Pacific Islands Company, the Pacific Phosphate Company and Jaluit Gesellschaft of Hamburg. His grandson, John Aris, oj London, made the Arundel Papers available to the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau at the Australian National University in Canberra for microfilming and has now presented the original papers to the National Library.
