Research @ Fryer: UQ students exploring collections
Staff members have had an exciting week sharing Fryer's collections with UQ students.
As part of Graduate Student week, staff shared their archival and manuscript expertise through an introductory session "Archives for Arts". This session included a guide to getting started with archival research, particularly at Australian institutions, as well as practical strategies for decoding primary documents and navigating reading room rules and etiquette.
In addition, anthropology students completing a subject on Native Title Anthropology visited Fryer to discover more about our Indigenous collections and Fryer was 'up late' for an afterhours session focusing on Australian literary manuscripts.
Dr Kim Wilkins and Editing the Manuscript students observed first hand some of the editorial processes preserved in literary and popular fiction manuscripts, for authors such as Nick Earls, David Malouf and Kate Forsyth.
