Mrs N W Moody of Perth Australia donated a collection of Australian art and literature to Pennsylvania State University as a memorial to her two sons Thomas and Henry Ingram Moody who died in World War II. The mother and sons were amateur collectors with a family link to the University of Western Australia. She placed the remaining material with an American university to foster good international relations, selecting Penn State after the Pittsburgh Bureau of Business Research reported a downturn in industrial production.
Under Dr. A. Bruce Rutherland, professor of English literature, the University is the only institution in the country offering such a course. About 200 works of art comprise the collection studied in this program.
The Moody collection expands with oil paintings etchings sketches water colors pastels prints and sculpture plus over 400 books. Penn State Library now holds the most complete list of Australian literature in the United States.
