Biographical notes:

The Briggs family lived at Clunes, Victoria. Charles Henry Briggs moved to Sydney and later set up in business at Bathurst and Goulburn. Mrs Charles Henry Briggs was the daughter of Captain Thomas Rowley. The papers relating to the Briggs family consist mainly of correspondence which belonged to Charles Henry Briggs and one of his sons Charles James Briggs, and a number of miscellaneous documents, among them the papers relating to the Australian Natives Association. The newspaper clippings in a bound volume are from the Brisbane Courier, the Telegraph and the Chronicle from December 1894 to April 1895 re the case against Rev. Charles Ogg brought by the Presbytery of the Ann St. Church. The parchment illuminated testimonial to Miss Margaret Ann Ogg, daughter of Rev. C. Ogg, on her retirement. Most of the studio portrait photographs are from an album of the Briggs family, some with identification. Other are photographs of Ernest Briggs, manager of radio station 4BK, and staff of the station in the 1930s, also one with Miss Margaret Ann Ogg at her house in Windsor.
