The Carmen Lawrence Collection

Dr Carmen Lawrence lodged her personal papers with Curtin University Library in 2007. The papers relate to her time in the Western Australian Parliament, where she served initially as MLA for Subiaco (1986-89) and then as MLA for Glendalough (1989-94). Most of the papers date from Dr Lawrence's term as Premier of Western Australia (1990-1993). There are volumes of newspaper clippings and media summaries covering the years of the Lawrence Government, speeches, electorate correspondence, circulars to ministers, memorabilia, media statements, subject files on a variety of themes and over 300 photographs providing a visual record of the events attended and duties undertaken by Dr Lawrence.
