Biographical Note
Born 1898 (née Amy Priest) in Gawler, South Australia, graduated B.A. 1920 and M.A. 1923 from the University of Adelaide. After marriage in 1925 she went to England and Europe, where she studied at the London School of Economics and completed a B.Sc (Econ) and Honours in Sociology at the University of London (London School of Economics) in 1931. During 1935 and the early months of 1936 Wheaton was in Europe, investigating social services of Nazi Germany, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Hungary, France and Turkey. She returned to Adelaide in March 1936 on being offered appointment as Hon. Director of the SA Board of Social Study and Training (1936-41), and on the creation of a Department of Social Science (later Social Studies) at the University of Adelaide was Lecturer-in-charge (1942-1958).
After retirement from the University (then compulsory for women at age 60) and some months studying at the New York School of Social Work on her final study leave, Wheaton was appointed United Nations Social Welfare Training Adviser in Pakistan and worked in Lahore and Dacca from July 1958 to September1962.
While teaching in the Department of Social Studies at Adelaide she had also lectured part-time in social aspects of town planning in the SAIT Department of Architecture (c1949-1957), in Human Organisation and Planning Practice at SAIT Department of Architecture and Building, c1965-1976, and in social aspects of planning within the Master's degree course in Town Planning at the University of Adelaide.
In addition to her official teaching and training roles in social work, Wheaton took an active role in civic, public and international affairs and contributed to many projects and undertakings as an adviser or consultant. She held executive positions in the Australian Association of Social Workers, the South Australian Council of Social Service, and the Australian Federation of Women Voters, and attended national and international conferences of these bodies as the Australian delegate. Her interests included immigration and citizenship, women's rights and child welfare, community development and town planning, and all aspects of social work and welfare. She was awarded an MBE in the King's birthday honours, 1939 for services to the community, and was made a life member of the Australian Association of Social Workers in August 1965.
Wheaton married Ralph Douglas Wheaton, a banker, in 1925 and had three sons, Geoff, Neville and Roger, born 1931, 1933 and 1941. Douglas died in 1978 in Adelaide, Amy in 1988.
The University of Adelaide received these papers in 1993 through the agency of Nancy Bates, who had previously conducted interviews with Wheaton on behalf of the National Library of Australia (Series 3) and worked with Dr Elaine Martin, who had also written a number of articles on Wheaton (Series 4).
