MS 8861 comprises correspondence with Lloyd Ross, 1977-1982, about research into trade union history, including William Paisley Earsman, Robert Samuel Ross, the Victorian Socialist Party and the Victorian Labor College. There is a copy of a letter from Lloyd Ross to Harry Pollitt about Tom Mann and the Victorian Socialist Party, 19 March 1936 (1 folder).
The Acc10.138 instalment comprises draft manuscripts, correspondence, family papers, photographs, notes and personal papers. The drafts principally relate to two publications: Ann Turner's Historical dictionary of Papua New Guinea (1994, 2nd ed. 2001); and A short history of Papua New Guinea, by John Dademo Waiko (1993, 2nd ed. 2007). Much of the correspondence in the collection is between Turner and Waiko discussing amendments to Waiko's books. The photographs include images used in Turner's Historical dictionary of Papua New Guinea, as well as some of Turner's uncle, explorer Michael Terry. The latter include photographs of Terry on expedition in outback Australia in the 1930s, a signed portrait and Terry in court dress at Buckingham Palace in 1939. There are also letters from Terry addressed to Turner's mother, Charlotte Barnard, most written in the 1970s. The personal papers include Turner's work and study records and a short history of the Barnard family. In addition there is a book, Let's get cracking by Athole Stewart, in which there is reference to Turner's grandfather, Lieutenant-Commander Anthony Hunter Terry; and, a war diary from World War I kept by Terry (5 boxes).
