Daphne Mayo and Vida Lahley were mentors, teachers and friends to Mim Shaw. After the death of Daphne Mayo in 1982, Mim was one of the organisers of the 'Friends of Daphne Mayo' group, and her address was used in correspondence for the group. This group was the publisher of Judith McKay’s memorial booklet Daphne Mayo : a tribute to her work for art in Queensland, published in 1983. Mim wrote and/or drafted correspondence regarding the booklet, promoting it and sending it to people and libraries as required. Mim also wrote an account of Vida Lahey, as suggested to her by Daphne Mayo. Mim assisted with Vida Lahey's afternoon painting and drawing classes for children in the 1940s in Brisbane. Material for all three artists are in this collection.
