Laurie Lambert's Collection

Description

Unique IDAS-0071Start date13th April 1886End date15th August 1983FormatVarious - See Descriptive NoteDescriptionThis series was donated to Council's Archives by Laurie Lambert on 7 November 1983.

The records were collected by Lambert for two main reasons: firstly to assist him in his clerical work and later executive functions, and secondly for their historical or curiosity value. The starting date for the series has been taken from the date he joined Council as a Junior Messenger in the City Engineer's Department. He retired from Council on 15 August 1983.

The series contains the following types of records: folders relating to Acts of Parliament and legal opinions; commemorative items; items relating to the history of Sydney and Glebe; photographs and plans; invitations; his personal information file on the hiring of the Town Hall; souvenir programs and publications; and notes and letters with antiquarian or historical content.

The original sources of the records are very varied, some originating from individuals and institutions outside of Council. Most of the records however, were created by departments within Council, and a small number were created by Laurie Lambert himself.

The records were arranged by the Archivist in 1983, as there was little order when they were accessioned. Most of the items were subsequently transferred to Archives Information Folders, the Sydney Reference Collection, the Archives Image Library, and the reference collection of plans held in the Archives Search Room. This explains the gaps in the item numbers of the series.

In 2010, the invitations were individually listed by an Archivist into CRS 1142, Community Ephemera Collection.
