AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Lilla Watson is rightly regarded as one of Queensland’s finest visual artists. Her ‘burnings’ on paper depict with insight and beauty our lives and landscape. In this short piece, I pay tribute to another of her great contributions – as a university researcher, tutor and lecturer in Aboriginal social welfare. It is timely to do so as the Fryer Library has acquired a collection of her papers (UQFL576) from this phase of her remarkable career.' (Introduction)

    'In its 90th year the Fryer Library continues to grow as a bountiful resource. From the time of the first volumes on Australian literature collected by Dr Frederick Robinson in memory of John Denis Fryer, the Library’s development has been a labour of love. Over the years, this endeavour has been generously aided by loyal supporters, particularly the wonderful Friends of Fryer who have defended, built and promoted the collection’s value.' (Introduction, Simon Farley : Fryer Librarian)
