SIDELIGHTS:

Angus Trumble told CA: "The first book I worked on was a collaboration with my boss, Dr. J. Davis McCaughey, who was then the governor of Victoria, and our colleague Naomi Perkins. The second was also a collaboration, this time with the person who ushered the first through production at Melbourne University Press. The third and fourth were exhibition catalogs that were published by the principal state art museum in South Australia, where I first worked as a curator, and the fifth was an adventure that began as a talk I gave at a conference of dentists.… All the projects I am currently working on have benefited enormously from proximity to the research libraries of Yale University, on the campus of which the museum where I now work is located."
