The collection comprises original correspondence, reports, some photos and ephemera of Bill Ford, reflecting his personal, academic and professional life. It includes diaries written when Ford was a Fulbright scholar in the 1950's at University of Illinois and University of California, Los Angeles, and his involvement with the Civil Rights movement, in particular the Freedom Ride in Jackson, Mississippi, and New South Wales, and in JFK's election campaign. Joan Ford (wife) has transcribed the diary he wrote while in the USA and the transcript also forms part of the collection. Additional records cover his international studies and research, publications and presentations from the 1960s through to the 1980s. This includes material from his time at the University of New South Wales, and working with Clyde Cameron, Minister for Labour.
