Correspondence relating to the construction of the Union College, University of Queensland St Lucia, dated from 30 Jun 1964 to 27 Mar 1968.

Correspondence (incoming and outgoing) related to the Master Plan for Townsville University (known as James Cook University) and for the First Hall of Residence, University College of Townsville, University of Queensland. These designs began when James Birrell was University Architect for the University of Queensland and continued when he went into private practice as James Birrell and Partners. The bulk of the correspondence is from the firm James Birrell and Partners. There are eight folders in this file spanning years 1962 to 1968.

5 folders of incoming and outgoing personal correspondence, some on business letterhead or written as University Architect. This file includes notes, architectural drawings, handwritten architectural table of works Birrell was involved in, photographs, reports, school results, itineraries, blueprints, taxation and medical correspondence. Most likely professional or business material in these folders has been retained as they have been regarded as more personal in nature. Decanted from large folders. Colour postcard of Centenary Pool is in first folder.

The bulk of the slides and photographs in these albums relate to the book Walter Burley Griffin by James Birrell. There are a few photographs of works by James Birrell. These photographs or copies of photographs may date from before Birrell began researching for his book but were collated by Birrell in the 1960s.
