Comments

David Sommerlad was Executive Director of the CPNSW and of the national body, Country Press Australia, from 1988 to 1998. He remains on the board of CPA.

The NSW branch was founded in 1900 - NSW matters are now run from the national office, based at the Victorian branch.

The national office now holds very little archival material. Besides archives of CPA held by David Sommerlad, there are some holdings in various libraries.
