Description: | Assorted records and station diaries.'Glenariff' is a large station in the Western Division of NSW, about fifty miles to the south-east of Bourke. In 1912, it belonged to Garret Byrnes, but by 1914 (when the diaries commence) had passed to Allan Waugh. One of the main series in the record group is the station diaries (32 vols), 1914-1915, 1917-1946 kept by a succession of managers. Another important series is the letterbooks (13 vols) 1939-1949, in which are copies of letters (reports) sent by the current manager to the owner. A related series is drafts of letters sent (manager to owner), 1932-1935. Account books re 'Glenariff' are disappointedly few in number, and patchy in coverage: store accounts (1908-1913); miscellaneous accounts (1912-1913, 1927). A wages and rations book (1919-1925) and ledger and wages book (1928-1939) make up the balance of the accession. |
