Diaries

The first two diaries and journals cover the period between 1940 and 1944, from the time Gordon worked at Broken Hill South Ltd. to his war service in Australia and New Guinea from March 1941. The other two diaries are an account of Gordon’s ‘Voyage to England’ in 1950, containing his first impressions of that country; and an account of a ‘Holiday in Spain and Mallorca' in 1953.

Student Drawings.

The majority of this series comprises drawings and essays produced by Douglas McKay for assessment purposes during his architecture degree at The University of Queensland. While some of McKay's student drawings are conventional architectural plans, others are mixed media works which feature photographs and/or newspaper cuttings. The series also contains drawings created by McKay for commercial firms while he was a student, and drawings created for a competition.
