"Irian" in the National Archive of Australia (NAA)

This page indexes - 423 files - relevant to "Irian" held in the National Archive of Australia, Canberra. They are listed here in chronological order from their "opening" dates (the date each file was first created). To understand the NAA holdings in their historical context, read Near Neighbours: Records of Australia's Relations with Indonesia, an excellent research guide to the NAA's documents related to Australia and Indonesia (purchase this 204 page book for only $10 + postage). This document is particularly useful as only about 10% of the files held by the NAA are currently searchable online.

Access: The NAA has a policy of making free digital copies of any 5 declassified FILES (at 150dpi resolution) per individual per year. This is an extremely generous offer. In some cases a single file may consist of several hundred documents, or 2-3 inches (archivists usually refer to the space the documents take on a shelf!). Once digitised, the NAA has a policy of making these documents available to anyone over their website at www.naa.gov.au. If you would like to help make more of these files about Papua/Irian available to the general public, please make your request(s) for files to the NAA through their catalogue or via the hotlinks below. It is extraordinary that the NAA has retain this free service for so long, but we should not assume that the service will remain free forever. If you have a genuine interest in any of these files, please make your requests as soon as possible to the NAA. The NAA responds to requests for copies of its files from anywhere in the world. The service is not restricted to Australian citizens... nor is it restricted to archival documents about Irian/Papua. :-) (for example, there are more than 21000 files on Papua New Guinea currently indexed on the NAA website.) For more information about access to the National Archives of Australia, visit the Access and Using our Collection pages on the NAA website.

Files already available via the NAA website are denoted here by .
