Personal Papers.

 Series
Identifier: MSS. Archives. 96/1. Series 1

Scope and Contents

John Acheson categorised all the items in this series as personal, extracting them from the archive boxes in which they had been placed in the preliminary sorting. For this inventory, items were removed to acid-free folders as John Acheson left them. The order is somewhat arbitrary, as is the inclusion in ‘personal’ of some items that could have been placed among travel and other printed material at the end of the sequence. Equally, details of F.O.V. Acheson’s academic record and sundry certificates could have been included among personal items, but are to be found in Series 2, item 2/5, which relates to his formal study of Maori land tenure.
