School of Pharmacy History Book

The School of Pharmacy has commissioned a book which recounts the history of the University of Queensland’s School of Pharmacy, which is due to be launched in April 2010.

Professional historians Judith Nissen and Moya Pennell have been kept busy over the last 2 years researching the context within which the School was founded, documenting the establishment of the Department of Pharmacy in 1960, and tracing its evolution from a small, new Department based in George Street to a thriving School at St Lucia, and beyond to the conception and development of the Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence (PACE) at Woolloongabba, which is the new home for the School.

The history will be drawn from a wide range of archival and visual materials, but the finished product will also include many stories and recollections from past and present staff, students and others involved with the School over five decades.

The history book is currently in its final stages of editing and is due for release in April 2010, when an official book launch will be held, in conjunction with the opening of the PACE precinct
