Collection: Megaw Collection

Collection DescriptionA collection of publications and papers relating to, and donated by the Megaw family. The Megaw Reading Room in the Lynn Library was opened in 1952 and created through the generosity of the Megaw family. It was named after Judge Robert Megaw (1867-1947). The room was extended to commemorate Alice K. Megaw, Judge Megaw's daughter. Alice Megaw was appointed Assistant Librarian at Queen's in 1941, Sub-Librarian in 1950 and Deputy Librarian in 1959. She retired in 1961. The extension to the Megaw Reading Room opened in December 1996. Around this time the Megaw family deposited a number of publications and papers written by members of the family. The papers were held in the Megaw Reading Room until Special Collections moved to the McClay Library in July 2009. [QUB Listing]
