Other papers relate to his involvement with scientific research and development and the establishment of the Cooperative Research Centres. He was an active chairman on many committees and councils including the Australian Science and Technology Council. The papers include subject files, government and university correspondence, reports, discussion papers, research documents, legal papers, biographical sketches, speeches and talks, videocasettes, an audio tape, photographs, medals and certificates.
