NZSEE members are invited to purchase a printed copy of the EERI Oral History: Nigel Priestley edition — a tribute to one of earthquake engineering’s most influential figures.
In 2021 NZSEE together with the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) published the 30th volume of Connections: The EERI Oral History edition highlights Professor Nigel Priestley’s life as a pioneering structural and earthquake engineer.
The interviews for this volume were conducted in the final year of his life, by NZSEE life member Richard Sharpe, and Nigel’s daughter Rebecca Priestley, a historian of science with the Centre for Science in Society at Victoria University of Wellington.
