In the 19th century, professional boundaries were less clearly defined than they are today, particularly between architecture, surveying, engineering, and construction. Donald Watson and Judith McKay undertook years of research to identify hundreds of architects and others who practised in what is now Queensland, Australia, from the start of European settlement until the economic downturn of the late 19th century, highlighting the challenges they faced. A major revision of the authors’ earlier biographical dictionary from 1994, this book incorporates new material and has a wider range of entries than its predecessor, not only on architects but also on related practitioners.
