Papers of Colin Madigan, 1900-2002 [manuscript]. 1900-2002.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/222983420

The papers comprise correspondence, plans, drawings, reports and photographs, the majority of which were produced by Madigan in the pursuit of his architectural work. The drawings and plans are from all periods of Madigan's creative life including his earliest student drawings. Some of Madigan's most important architectural projects are well documented in the papers, particularly his work on the National Gallery of Australia. The only material not related to Madigan's architectural work is the series covering his war service and the sinking of the HMAS Armidale in 1942. Within the plans series there are also a number of drawings and plans produced by Frederick Madigan, Colin Madigan's father, and correspondence and other papers relating to a proposed biography of Madigan by Geoffrey Serle.
