The Australian Women's Register

MS 9506 comprises papers relating to Karobran: the story of an Aboriginal girl, which was published posthumously in 1978. Clare wrote the original manuscript, but died before completing final editing. Jack Horner and Mona Brand undertook editing and publication of the book, under a grant from the Aboriginal Arts Board of the Australia Council. Included is a carbon copy of the original manuscript, and a typescript incorporating Horner’s amendments. The collection also comprises a typescript draft of Karobran, and correspondence and drafts regarding Clare’s Australian dictionary of biography entry (1 box).
