For further material held by the Library which relates to Frank Sargeson, see: - ATL-Group-00695 Bosworth, Rhondda, 1944-: Photographs and papers relating to Frank Sargeson. - ATL-Group-00771 Stead, Christian Karlson, 1932-: Collection. - MS-Papers-4648 Cole, John Reece, 1916-1989: Papers. - MS-Group-2254 Catley, Christine McKelvie Cole (Dame), 1922-2011: Papers. Arrangement: Collection materials were in no discernable order on arrival to the Library in 1970 and in 1982. Each successive accession of manuscript material was arranged by Library archivists as two numeric sequences of folders MS-Papers-0432 and MS-Papers-4261. Photographic materials were arranged separately as: prints in one numeric sequence (numbered across five box containers) and negatives as individual numbers. Celebrated New Zealand writer Frank Sargeson was born as Norris Frank Davey in Hamilton, and lived most of his life in a family bach at Takapuna, Auckland. He is known for his introduction of New Zealand idomatic speech to literature and his exploration of the lives of men and of working class life. Best known for his short stories, his works include many plays, novels, novellas, and a three volume autobiography. From his home Sargeson provided support and mentorship to many younger writers including Maurice Duggan, Janet Frame, AP Gaskell, Kevin Ireland, and CK Stead. His work was hugely influential on succeeding generations of New Zealand writers who sought to establish a quintessentially New Zealand literature.

Available on request.. Processing information: On accession collection materials were arranged and described to a basic level by Library archivists. Following the award of the 1990 National Library Fellowship the Library undertook a major reorganisation of the collection between December 1989 and April 1990 including: sorting of correspondence, identification and sorting of literary works and other materials, and removal from the collection of material from other provenances. Further descriptive work was undertaken in March and April 2024. Records that were 'Restricted by permission' were changed to 'No access restrictions' as the SargesonTrust had removed the requirement to get their permission before accessing the collection. In addition the previously separated manuscript, pictorial, and oral history materials (PAColl-1581, G-194, and OHColl-0230/1) of the same provenance were reunited in this collection hierarchy. The identifier for the collection record also changed from MS-Group-0071 to ATL-Group-00945 to reflect the multi-format nature of the collection. Not all names are indexed.
