This item consists of two journals used by NB Tindale from 1963-1988 to keep track of his later magnetic tape and VCR recordings. Tindale wrote the following preface to the first volume: 'I decided to keep a separate journal for incidental tape records other than ones on specific expeditions etc & to list these others here with references to the notebooks etc in which they occur'.

1. Tape Records Journal, volume 1, 1963-1977
   
   
2. VCR and Tape Records Journal, volume 2, 1977-1988

• 'Interview with Mr John Irrgang, aged survivor of the Killalapannina Mission'
  
  
• 'Tape Records from Palm Island'
