03.01.2022 This early, hand-written version of Waltzing Matilda is just one of the treasures among the recently acquired collection of A. B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson’s personal pa...pers. As well as early drafts of the poems that would go on to become pillars of Australia’s cultural identity, the collection gives us a glimpse into the life of the man who composed them. Now more than ever, the National Library believes in a world where every Australian has free access to the stories of their past. With your support, we can share this remarkable collection with all Australians through Trove.
