The John Sinclair Archive Collection consists of printed and digitised material including research datasets, photographs, correspondence, papers, manuscripts and reports donated by John Sinclair, documenting Fraser Island from 1799 to 2000. The material has a focus on the research background to the Fraser Island environmental protection campaigns of the 1970s. However, other material, including documents from the early European history of the region is included. Material also relates to the Fraser Island Defenders Organisation, in which John Sinclair held various positions. The collection includes print copies of the transcripts and research evidence presented to the Fraser Island Environmental inquiry in 1976. The significance of the John Sinclair Archive Collection is its documentation of a critical period in Queensland and Australian history. The print component of the collection includes government reports and various grey literature.
