Channel: statelibraryqld
Date: 04/09/2020

Don Watson was the 2012 John Oxley Library Fellowship recipient.

The aim of Don's project was to make a valuable contribution to local architectural history by extending his previously published research, Queensland Architects of the 19th Century: A biographical dictionary into the 20th century.

Don's research not only chronicled the lives and work of Queensland architects, it also recorded pioneering Queensland life and how our architects adapted their skills to design buildings appropriate to the climate, new technologies, and times of economic hardship.
