O'Brien (Robert) interview
No full textO'Brien served as assistant to the UW Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and as advisor to the Japanese Student Club in early 1942. He completed his dissertation in sociology at the UW in 1945. Titled The Changing Role of the College Nisei during the Crisis Period, it was published by Pacific Books as The College Nisei, in 1949, and was reprinted by Ayer Company in 1979. O'Brien discusses events during and after World War Two, including Japanese Relocation, the Japanese-American Student Relocation Council, Seattle Race Relations, and his work with the Civic Unity Committee. O'Brien describes UW President Sieg's role in assisting Japanese-American students during the Relocation. Sieg wrote to Midwestern and East Coast colleges urging them to take Japanese-American students from the UW, arranged for Japanese-American seniors to receive their degrees despite not completing their final quarter, and traveled to the relocation camps to award degrees to these students. The UW also brought its Extension Program to the relocation centers. O'Brien was Assistant to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and advisor to the Japanese Student Club. He was involved in founding the Japanese-American Student Relocation Council, a national organization based in Philadelphia that worked to help Nisei get out of the relocation camps. In 1942 he was asked to become its National Executive and asked for leave from the UW in order to do this. President Sieg insisted that he arrange to be on War Leave through the War Relocation Authority; this status allowed Sieg to protect O'Brien's job when people questioned his loyalty because of his work on behalf of Japanese-Americans. The Relocation Council placed six thousand Japanese-American students in nearly 600 colleges during the war.

The restoration was undertaken for the owner John L. O'Brien. John Lockyer O’Brien (1905–1965) was an historian at the University. His collection of about 4,000 photographs was taken in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Many of them capture the architecture and streetscapes of inner-city Melbourne when the area was in transition between its then 19th century topography and working-class status prior to large-scale demolitions to made way for the construction of the Housing Commission high-rise blocks, and middle-class migration back to the inner-city and subsequent renovation and gentrification of its housing. He was also interested in the early architecture of country Victoria and photographed 19th century homesteads, hotels, churches, banks, railway stations, as well as humbler buildings. He and his wife Laurie owned and resided in a double-storey Georgian-style bluestone house in Hanover Street, Fitzroy.206486
