The collection comprises numerous photographs of Australian actors, actresses and playwrights, and of recent stage productions, as well as the magazine's own records, consisting or reports and business correspondence. There is also valuable correspondence with Australian actors, actresses, critics, playwrights, producers and directors like Alex Buzo, Kern Brodziak, Bob Ellis, Nick Enright, Dorothy Hewett, Jack Hibberd and Ken Horler. A substantial amount of material submitted for publication in the magazine (but never used) is also included. There are as well many brochures, prospectuses, programmes and handbills relating to recent Australian theatre. As a whole these records offer excellent "documentation on subsidized theatre in Australia and, on another level, of subsidized publishing - the magazine itself".
