Hazel Hawke Collection

The JCPML holds the papers of Hazel Hawke in line with its collection theme of 'The Prime Ministership as an Office'. Identifying herself as a West Australian, Hazel Hawke wanted her records to come to a university in her home state. These records document Mrs Hawke's life before, during and after her time at the prime minister's Lodge (1983-1991).
