Background

Content Summary:

The records of the Australian Folk Trust Inc. (AFT) consist of minutes, reports, administration and financial records, grant applications, conference papers and publications. The bulk of the records cover the period from 1988-1996 when an AFT office in Canberra was in operation. A smaller number of records predating that time period which were created and maintained by AFT employees and trustees based in various states date from 1974-1988. Some of the grant applications have supporting material in the form of reports, photographs and audiovisual material.

Provenance:

The records of the AFT were donated to the Library in 2002 by Phil Spring, Director of National Folk Festival Ltd at that time.

Arrangement:

Order has been imposed on the collection by the Library, except for portions of Series 3 which were already arranged according to the AFT's classified filing system.
