- Petherick's collection of books, manuscripts, maps, prints and paintings on Australia and the Pacific was displayed in the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne in 1909 where it was inspected by the Prime Minister, the Speaker and the Parliamentary Librarian. In November 1909 an agreement was signed transferring ownership to the Commonwealth, appointing Petherick as Archivist, and paying him an annuity. The agreement was confirmed by Parliament in the 1911 Petherick Collection Act. Following the death of Petherick in 1917, many more books, prints, manuscripts and personal papers were received from his executors.
