Robertson Library: 40 years at the heart of Curtin was researched and written by Lesley Wallace, with editorial input from Lesley Budrovich. Content for the years of Geoffrey Allen’s leadership drew heavily on the research undertaken in 2006 by Heather Galluccio for a timeline on the history of the Library.
University Librarians Geoffrey Allen, Vicki Williamson and Imogen Garner generously provided their personal reflections on the main directions/achievements/challenges for the Library in their respective periods of leadership.
Web design was by Sue Grey-Smith.
Images
Many of the images used in the web resource were from the collection of original photographs housed in the Library’s Closed Collection. David Wylie and Greg Wallace provided assistance in converting slides and print photographs from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s into digital formats suitable for the website.
More recent images were sourced from the Library’s collection of digital photographs stored on its shared network drive. Where images were sourced elsewhere, this has been noted either directly near the image or as detailed below.
