The McGlashan Everist Architectural Archive
About the collection
McGlashan Everist is an award-winning architecture practice founded in 1955 by architects David McGlashan and Neil Everist. Jointly based in Melbourne and Geelong, McGlashan Everist has been a significant architectural presence in Victoria for over 60 years.
The McGlashan Everist Architectural Archive is a complete archive of McGlashan Everist’s output, from its founding in 1955 until its eventual amalgamation with PMDL in 2022.
The archive includes:
- drawings and sketches
- plans, including floor plans, sections, elevations and typical views
- land surveys and maps
- project files and other material, such as correspondence
- photographs from numerous projects across Melbourne and Geelong
The archive was generously donated to Deakin University Library in 2022 by McGlashan Everist’s then-current directors, Geoff Saunders and John Lee.
