The collection emphasizes Australia but also includes New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and Antarctica. It is considered the most comprehensive collection in the United States relating to this region. The collection was placed in the University's Humanities Research Center when Professor Grattan joined the UT Austin faculty in 1964. In 1977 he received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the Australian National University in recognition of his research on Australia. Additional biographical sources can be found in the Barker Texas History Center.
