Biographical history

Richard was born at Nasik, India on 22 February 1935, the son of a forest officer from Ireland, and was educated mainly in Ireland (Belfast and Dublin). From the University of Dublin (Trinity College) he received an honours degree in History (1956), an MLitt for research on Irish History (1958) and the Higher Diploma in Education (1960). While lecturing in History at Otago University, Dunedin, 1964-66, he worked for a PhD at that institution (awarded in 1968). In 1967 he transferred to the University of Tasmania, from which he retired in 1996 as an Emeritus Professor. He was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities in 1997. Richard and Marianne Davis started Sassafras Books to publish Irish, New Zealand and Tasmanian History.
