MEANJIN EDITORIAL RECORDS OF C B CHRISTESEN
No full textThis record was harvested from a previous catalogue system and will be withdrawn in 2025. Information in this record may be superseded or incomplete. Visit this record in UMA's new catalogue at: https://archives.library.unimelb.edu.au/nodes/view/68197The entire records of CB Christesen, editor, including correspondence, manuscripts, newscuttings, photographs, administration and subscription records. Also some personal material of Clem and Nina Christesen.
There are five distinct series of records within this collection:
1. Correspondence files (345 boxes) are arranged alphabetically by correspondent’s name (either an individual or an organisation), with the majority being correspondence between Christesen and authors. Some poems and other writing by Christesen are included under his name. Correspondence files are listed in detail.
2. Administrative files, including subscription files (105 boxes). Subscription files for the years 1964 – 1972 are arranged by year. There is no detailed listing of these files.
3. Presscuttings (62 boxes). These are organised into two sequences, one relating to individual meanjin authors (arranged alphabetically by name) and the other relating to other subjects. Again there is no detailed listing of these available.
4. Artwork and covers for the Journal (4 boxes).
5. Photographs (316 items). These are listed at the end of this document. The photographs came from the office of editor C.B. Christesen who compiled a reference set of photographic portraits of Australian authors, many of whom were published in the pages of Meanjin. The photos are mainly by professional photographers, obtained from publishers, newspapers or from the authors themselves. Many of these photos are not unique copies. Only a few of Christesen’s personal photographs are contained here. C.B. Christesen also collected images, usually newscuttings, of overseas writers that had no association with Meanjin. These have been culled.

Born or Reborn in the Cattle
No full text'Tolerance, Fortitude and Patience' - passive, martyr-like virtues first
attributed to station Aborigines by the Bemdts - was a surprising
choice of tide for Tim Rowse's review article (Meanjin 111988). These
words would never be used by station Aborigines, and the motto has
cultural significance only for Europeans. Although Rowse's comparative
review of my book, 'Born In the Cattle': Aborigines in Cattle
Country, and R. M. and C. H. Berndt's End of an Era was generally

some comments and criticisms which I strongly dispute
