This includes letters to and from Sir Joseph Banks and the explorer Sir John Franklin (2) His wife Ann Flinders's letters and correspondence - some written while Flinders was imprisoned on Mauritius (3) Sir William Flinders Petrie's miscellaneous collection of biographical material, notes, memoirs and news cuttings relating to his grandfathers career; and correspondence with J F Shillinglaw about a biography of Flinders which Shillinglaw never completed. This collection, currently on long-term loan to the Museum from Lisette Flinders Petrie, is the residue of those documents presented to the Mitchell Library in Sydney by Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (18531942), grandson of Matthew Flinders. These family papers form part of a larger State Library holding on Matthew Flinders, such as the following original materials.
