About the records

Administrative Information

Professor Max Hargreaves was the inaugural appointment to the chair of Physical Metallurgy, University of Melbourne, in 1964. A small collection of personal papers including correspondence, publications and photographs was assembled from materials held by his widow, his former secretary and the CSIRO Archives. Unfortunately most of his papers were destroyed shortly after his premature death in 1976.

• The records have been allocated to 8 series. The codes used to uniquely identify each series range from HARGS001 to HARGS008.
  
  
• Through the processing of the records, 1 provenance entity was identified. The code used to uniquely identify this provenance entity, i.e. records creator or custodian, is HARGP01.

The codes used to uniquely identify each inventory item range from HARG00001 to HARG00066. The total collection occupies 27 linear cm of shelf space (or its equivalent).
