'Mr. Tylee died in 1966 during his seventeenth year as Director of Swinburne. "Mr. A. F. Tylee, who died recently during his seventeenth year as Director of Swinburne, was a man of wide interests. A civil engineer by profession, he was equally interested in the physical sciences, the social sciences and the arts. He travelled extensively throughout Australia, and wrote articles on Australian history and geography for many newspapers and journals. He was closely in touch with developments in Australian educational administration, both tertiary and sub-tertiary, and had written articles on education and taken part in educational conferences. Not long before his death he was elected as a Fellow of the Australian College of Education, a body of leading educationists. At Swinburne, he was a unifying influence on the college, and was concerned to foster the development of all branches of learning. When Social Science was introduced into technical diploma courses several years ago, Mr. Tylee established the "A. F. Tylee Prize in Social Science" which he donated annually to the best student in social science classes. At the time of his death he was giving thought to the possible establishment of a full-length Diploma of Humanities (or Liberal Arts) at the College. Mr. Tylee was also interested in the fine arts, and he frequently spent an afternoon painting in a studio at our Art School. It was there that he posed a couple of years ago for a portrait by Mr. A. Moore, of the Art School staff." Tribute taken from the 1966 "Swinopsis" a review of technology and sociology. Published by the Students' Representative Council, Swinburne Senior Technical College, Melbourne' -- Source: Synopsis of downloadable video of 'Funeral of Mr A.F.

The collection of slides was offered as a future donation to the Mitchell Library by A. F. Tylee in May 1960. Mr Tylee's widow, Mrs Doris I. Tylee, presented the collection to the Library in February 1971 following his death in July 1966.

PXA 1793

2 handwritten index volumes in 2 commercial ruled ledger books. Numbered 1000-5908. Only the second volume of the index (numbered 5701-5908) corresponds with the numbering on the slide mounts. The numbering in the first volume of the index does not match the slides. In some sections of the first volume, the descriptive entries clearly follow the order of the slides but with numbers offset from the slides by varying amounts; in other sections, there appears to be no correlation between the index and the slides, although the index may relate to content in the slide collection.

By number on slide mount; original arrangement of slides broadly follows chronology and itinerary
