'The history community is saddened to learn of the passing of Dr Lorna McDonald OAM on 25 June 2017. Born in Portland, Victoria in 1916, Lorna moved to Rockhampton with her family in 1963. She studied externally via The University of Queensland, and in 1975 attained a Masters Degree for her thesis on land settlement in the Port Curtis and Leichhardt districts of Queensland. In 1985, Lorna was awarded a PhD for her thesis on the history of the cattle industry in Central Queensland.

    'In its 90th year the Fryer Library continues to grow as a bountiful resource. From the time of the first volumes on Australian literature collected by Dr Frederick Robinson in memory of John Denis Fryer, the Library’s development has been a labour of love. Over the years, this endeavour has been generously aided by loyal supporters, particularly the wonderful Friends of Fryer who have defended, built and promoted the collection’s value.' (Introduction, Simon Farley : Fryer Librarian)
