Many years before his death in April 2022, Peter MacFie started placing his research material, interviews, photos, maps etc. with the Tasmanian Archives under the collection title of “Peter MacFie (Historian)”. He included the caveat that it would only become publicly available after his death. In addition, when ill-health overtook him, retired archivist, Ms Bryant, with Peter’s guidance, sorted and packed another 130 boxes of his research materials to add to the collection.

The following message has been received from the Tasmanian Archives.

“Letting you know the catalogue descriptions of Peter’s work are now viewable online here

https://stors.tas.gov.au/AI/NG3784.

Thank you to you and your family for making these works available to the archives and to interested researchers, it is very much appreciated.”
