ICA brings home Queensland Architecture

By JOL Admin | 31 August 2012

Last week John Oxley Library staff attended the International Council of Archives Congress in Brisbane. Held every four years, this was the first time the event had taken place in the Southern Hemisphere.

University of Queensland’s Professor Jane Hunter gave an interesting talk about utilisation of a Web 3.0 approach to build an online digital archive of architectural practice in post-war Queensland.  Working with the State Library, UQ is putting together oral histories aligned with transcripts, GIS mapping and data driven visualisations to paint a vivid picture of Queensland’s architectural landscape from 1945 to 1975.
