1924-1941; Letters to Miss J. Sheldon of the Gainsborough Gallery, Brisbane. The letters written in 1924 refer to the July 1924 Exhibition of Rees' works at Exton House, Brisbane. The letter dated 4 September 1924 and signed 'L. Rees' is probably not by Lloyd Rees. This is the opinion of his son, Alan Rees, based on the handwriting and content.
1984; Letter to the editor of the Australian newspaper.
ca. 1982; Unpublished manuscript notes. Draft for Lloyd Rees' autobiography, Peaks and valleys. The first part is headed 'Tasmania' and the second part is headed 'Tasmanian Homes'.
1982-85; Handwritten notebook containing notes for Peaks and valleys, and also An artist remembers.
