NZSEE are very pleased and excited to announce together with the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) the 30th volume of Connections: The EERI Oral History Series, featuring the late Professor Nigel Priestley—a significant figure in the field of earthquake engineering here in New Zealand, the United States, and globally.
NZSEE is delighted that a third NZSEE member now features in the Connections Oral History Series. This follows on from Volume 12 which celebrated both Tom Paulay and Bob Park. This new volume adds the third P to the 3 P’s ( Park- Paulay- Priestley) and as such is extremely fitting.
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.
The EERI Oral History series is available free of charge in PDF format here. It will also be available for purchase in a printed version. The price will be finalised once the order numbers are determined. If you want to order a print copy(s) please indicate here.
