  • Doris Hayball (1909-1973)

    The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature (1985) recorded Doris Hayball's date of death as 1948. Based on this information and the fact that other reference works, including AustLit, perpetuated this error, the University of New England Fisher Library digitised the play, 'Out of a Clear Sky' (1935). We are currently seeking the copyright owners of Doris Hayball's works. Research continues in order to determine whether more plays may be digitised. 

    Please contact us if you can help.
