This series comprises three volumes of mainly press cuttings from Australian newspapers, compiled and annotated by John Daniel Custance, first Professor of Agriculture at Roseworthy Agricultural College, near Gawler, South Australia.

Volume 1 (1881-1883, 1923) contains handwritten journal entries, excerpts from meeting minutes and draft letters, including several he wrote to the Commissioner of Crown Lands (1881-1882) along with a related letter dated 1923 (loose, inserted at page 41). Professor Custance commences Volume 1 with a quote from the S.A. Blue Book Volume 1, 1879 which refers to the debate in South Australian Parliament over the establishment of the College of Agriculture. The second half of the volume contains transcriptions of Adelaide newspaper articles and press cuttings relating to this matter.

Volume 2 (1885-1887) and Volume 3, labelled "College" (1885-1887), continue with annotated cuttings.
