PREFACE The main collection of Brady’s papers and manuscripts is in the National Library of Australia at Canberra. When this study was begun in 1969 the papers were randomly contained in fifty-five boxes. As this study progressed, the Library staff made some attempt to classify them so that the general contents of each box, and the folders within them, was known, but all the boxes were renumbered, so that folder numbers and box numbers no longer agree. The collection is not fully catalogued (a mammoth task), but main manuscripts are easily accessible, as are some subject groups such as the short stories or letters to artists and writers. Various drafts of some manuscripts, such as Brady’s history of the Labor Party (The Red Objective), are scattered throughout many boxes , usually in chapter form. The pages of some works are unnumbered, but close identification has been given where feasible. Brady adopted the American spelling of “our” words – “or” (flavor, labor). This practice has been retained in the case of direct quotation; otherwise the change has been made to “our”, with the exception of “Labor Party” and “Labor” movement.
