  • UQFL533 Brit Andresen Papers
    FRYER LIBRARY Manuscript Finding Aid UQFL533 Brit Andresen Papers Size 34 boxes, 5 parcels, 15 tubes, 32 albums Contents Research papers, photographs, slides, and drawings of residential and religious buildings. Collection includes drawings by Brit Andresen, Peter O'Gorman, Michael Keniger and University of Queensland architectural students. Date range 1966 - 2011 Biography Brit Andresen was born in 1945 in Trondheim, Norway. During her childhood, Brit travelled to Australia on several occasions while her father worked as an engineer on large hydroelectric projects from 1951 to 1963. She completed her Bachelor of Architecture in 1969 from Trondheim University, Norway. In 1977 Andresen moved to Australia to work in what was intended to be a temporary full-time position with the University of Queensland. She went on to be the first female appointed in the Department of Architecture. It was here she met Peter O’Gorman. They married in 1980 and set up the practice Andresen O’Gorman Architects. Their work has been awarded and internationally published, which includes a special edition of UME 22 (2011). O’Gorman died in 2001. In 2002 Andresen was the first female recipient of the RAIA Gold Medal. Andresen’s concern in the 1980s about the rapidly disappearing Australian architectural heritage led to two projects – one with Michael Keniger and a number of students entitled “Main Street: Queensland country towns” and the other “Anglican Churches in the Diocese of Brisbane. The latter project was also to become the topic of Andresen’s PhD dissertation. After 33 years at University of Queensland, Andresen retired in in 2010 and was appointed Emeritus Professor in the School of Architecture.

  • A History of the Church of England in the Diocese of Brisbane, 1950 - 1970
    THE PAST IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY: A History of the Church of England in the Diocese of Brisbane, 1950 - 1970. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, at the University of Queensland in December 2006 JONATHAN CHARLES HOLLAND School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics University of Queensland Statement of Originality I declare that this thesis is my own work and has not been submitted in any form for another degree or diploma at any university or other institute of tertiary education. Information derived from published or unpublished work of others has been acknowledged in the text and a list of references are given. I also declare that I am familiar with the rules of the School and the University relating to the submission of this thesis. Jonathan Holland date ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am very grateful to all who have assisted me in this thesis. Many people – including those I have interviewed and those who have seen some of the fruits of my research over the last few years – have shown a graciousness to me and an interest in my work that has been very encouraging. I have much appreciated the insights, encouragement and time of my supervisors, Associate Professors Clive Moore and Marion Diamond. Their direction has been invaluable and they have persisted with me over several years to see this thesis to its completion. I have also received much support from the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane, in particular a free hand to access material in the Diocesan archives. The archivists, Ms Glenda Morrell and more recently, Ms Desley Soden, have both been tremendously supportive and helpful.
