Scope and content
From 1975 to 1980, Professor Richards was an assistant professor in the Faculty of Architecture at the Nova Scotia Technical College (later the Technical University of Nova Scotia). From 1975 to 1978 he was responsible for “Introduction to Architecture”, an elective course at Dalhousie University. In 1977 he coordinated a study abroad programme in China and Japan and developed the guest lecture series. In 1978, he was appointed Campus Design Coordinator.
The activities outlined above are documented in this series. The correspondence files address his employment, his administrative duties, and related professional activities. Except for his work as Campus Design Coordinator and his teaching, few other activities are covered in detail. Most of the files are devoted to his teaching duties (though there are few lecture notes per se), including the study abroad program, and to the lecture series offered in the Faculty. There is a large collection of drawings and projects relating to his activities in Halifax. There are also several publications documenting the activities of faculty and staff and a few items about the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
