In Manuscript

Small collections of Baxter material, including manuscripts, are to be found throughout New Zealand but the three major collections are in Dunedin, Wellington and Christchurch.

At the Hocken Library. The major collection was established in 1968 when JKB made the first of several deposits of papers. From time to time he added to it. After his death further deposits were made by Jacquie Baxter, Millicent Baxter, and others.

At Victoria University of Wellington Library. The McKay papers were collected by Frank McKay while preparing to write his biography of Baxter. The material was catalogued by Paul Millar in 1994. It was embargoed until 2011.

At the Macmillan Brown Library, University of Canterbury. The Weir papers were collected in preparation for my MA thesis, doctoral thesis, and for subsequent articles and books.

In addition to these three libraries the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington holds a number of Baxter manuscripts. These are scattered throughout the Louis Johnson collection, the Douglas collection and others.

Manuscript references in this bibliography are generally restricted to prose or combined prose and poetry items. Plays and letters are excluded.
