BAIN, SISTER MARY ALBERTUS - State Library of Western Australia

BAIN, SISTER MARY ALBERTUS (ROSALIND MARIE)
Mary Albertus Bain was born in New Zealand in 1911 and came to Western Australia in 1937 to enter the
Dominican Order at Dongara. She obtained her B.A. Degree at UWA, majoring in economics. In 1975 her social
history of the Geraldton district was published under the title “Ancient Landmarks”. Until 1977 she taught in
secondary schools, specialising in history, economics and geography. “Full Fathom Five”, a history of the
pearling Industry was published in 1982 followed by “A Life of its Own”, a history of Geraldton in 1996. Her
other publications include ‘Catholic Education in W.A’, ‘Charles Smith Bompas’, ‘Fathers Thevanx and Thierse’,
‘A History of Santa Clara Parish, Bentley’, ‘A History of the Catholic Women’s League of W.A.’ At her death in
1999 her book on Governor Hampton remained unpublished in manuscript form. The collection includes
extensive correspondence with State Libraries, Universities, professional historians and descendants of early
Champion Bay and Broome families. Some of the notebooks numbered 7528A/116 to 157 contain information
drawn from UK journals on historical public figures and politics in the UK.
