The Historical Subject Files 'C' collection includes small, individual booklets, pamphlets and other types of published ephemera.

About the Historical Subject Files collection

Over the years, UOW Archives acquired many of these items separately from a variety of sources.

The material is arranged in files according to specific subjects. Many focus on politics and other significant events in the Illawarra region, as well as broader topics.

The size of each collection varies; some files only contain one or two items while others have 20-30.

Many files complement collections in the Manuscripts 'D' collection.
