- Content Summary:
-
The Parliament House Embroidery Committee set up a Design sub-committee to determine which design was to be embroidered and then hung in the New Parliament House. Once the designer was chosen, there were many notes made and correspondences about the design and the fabric and threads that were to be used to create the design. This series also contains some colour mixes as well as advice on which colours were to be used.
This series also contains correspondence, design notes and biographical details of Kay Lawrence, the designer.
- Immediate source of acquisition:
- The files from the Parliament House Embroidery Committee were donated to the National Library of Australia by the former Convenor of the Committee in June and December 1991.
