Leaflet, written by J. Newfong, issued by The National Aborigines' Day Observance Committee. At head of page 2: "Conscious of the fact that to date Australian history books have paid little or no attention at all to the presence of the black Australians, the National Aborigines' Day Observance Committee decided - for National Aborigines' Day, July 14, 1972 - to invite a black Australian to supply what in his view represented part of the missing section in the history books. We publish his views herewith with no further comment."

Copy of a form letter sent to "Aboriginal organisations and communities" from the Chairman of the Council for Aboriginal Development, W.F. Bird with the subject line "Commonwealth voting rights for Aboriginal" [and Torres Strait Islander peoples]. Attached to the letter is a survey and a discussion paper. It is undated but most likely is from 1978.

Typescript letter dated 1 September 1987 and addressed, "Dear friends". The letter explains the purpose and objectives of the March for Justice, Freedom and Hope. It describes the plan for supporters from all over Australia to gather in Sydney by 22 January 1988 to participate in a number of events, including a prayer vigil, in the lead up to the march from Railway Square to Hyde Park on 26 January 1988. The letter also mentions a coordinator has been appointed for the march but does not name the coordinator; this could be a reference to Reverend Charles Harris.
