This series contains a large amount of incoming correspondence. The correspondence covers the broad range of Oodgeroo Noonuccal's activities and interests. It covers her activities as a writer and guest speaker. There is correspondence from Aboriginal organisations, government departments, school students, teachers, universities and letters of appreciation for her work. The bulk of the correspondence is in the 1970s and 1980s. Correspondence is also scattered in various files throughout the collection. The correspondence is mostly incoming letters with only a small number of outgoing letters.

Letters to Fryer Librarian Nancy Bonnin, relating to the possibility of publication, donations to the Library, his associations with the Department of German at the University of Queensland.

Correspondence originally filed separately from job files. Some of this material relates to projects Gibson was involved in, such as the redevelopment of ANZAC Square and the redevelopment of the Tattersall's Club, both in Brisbane. Some of the correspondence is personal.

The series includes professional correspondence with publishers, literary agents, film companies and cultural and literary organisations and other writers. There are also personal letters and letters from readers. Much of the correspondence relating to Carey's individual literary works can be found with those manuscripts, preserving Carey's own arrangement of the material.
