On being appointed to the Department of Prehistory and Ancient History at the University of New South Wales in 1960 she established Australia's first formal training course in archaeology. Much of her research has centred on the archaeology and prehistory of New South Wales. She has published prolifically, her books including A petrological analysis of ground edge artefacts from northern New South Wales (1972) with Ray Binns, and Aboriginal prehistory of New South Wales (1974). McBryde has been active in professional organisations, notably the Australian Institute of Aboriginal (and Torres Strait Islander) Studies and the Australian Archaeological Association. She has also been heavily involved cultural heritage advisory committees, particularly concerning the protection of heritage sites and artefacts. 1959 1959 Education - Diploma in Prehistoric Archaeology, University of Cambridge 1960 1973 Career position - Lecturer in Prehistory and Ancient History (later Associate Professor), University of New England 1964 1990 Career position - Foundation Member, Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Studies 1966 1966 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of New England 1966 1976 Career position - Member, Prehistory Committee, Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies 1970 1980 Career position - Member, Aboriginal Relics Advisory Committee, New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service 1973 2005 Career position - Foundation Member, Australian Archaeological Association 1974 1975 Career position - Secretary, Australian Archaeological Association 1974 1975 Career position - Senior Lecturer, Department of Prehistory and Anthropology, Australian National University 1975 1986 Career position - Reader in Prehistory, Australian National University 1976 Career position - Member, Editorial Board, Aboriginal History 1979 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of the Humanities (FAHA) 1979 1985 Career position - Review Editor, Aboriginal History 1980 Career position - Member, Technical Advisory Committee, Australian Heritage Commission 1980 2007 Career position - Fellow, Society of Antiquaries, London 1981 1983 Career position - Member of Council, Australian Academy of the Humanities 1981 1985 Career position - Member, Aboriginal Sites Committee, New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service 1982 1982 Career position - Vice-President, Australian Academy of the Humanities 1982 1988 Career position - Commissioner, Australian Heritage Commission 1985 1993 Career position - Member, Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area Consultative Committee New South Wales 1986 1989 Career position - Member, Encyclopaedia Britannica Australian Advisory Committee 1986 1994 Career position - Professor of Prehistory, Australian National University 1990 1990 Award - Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) - for service to education, particularly in the field of Australian prehistory 1991 1998 Career position - Member, Aboriginal Education Consultative Committee, Australian National University 1993 1996 Career position - Member, Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Interim Advisory Committee (New South Wales) 1994 1994 Life event - Retired 1994 1998 Career position - Member, Technical and Scientific advisory Committee, Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area 1995 Career position - Professor Emerita, Australian National University 1995 1996 Career position - Member, Research Advisory Committee, Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies 1995 2001 Career position - Honorary Visiting Fellow, School of Social Sciences, Australian National University 1995 2004 Career position - Honorary Visiting Fellow, Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders 1996 1997 Career position - Member, Executive Committee for Australia, ICOMOS 1996 2001 Career position - Member, Board of Management, Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park 1997 1999 Career position - Member, National Cultural Heritage Forum 1 Jan 2001 1 Jan 2001 Award - Centenary Medal - for service to cultural heritage and a distinguished archaeologist 2003 2003 Award - Rhys Jones Medal for Outstanding Contributions to Australian Archaeology, Australian Archaeological Association 2005 Award - Life Member, Australian Archaeological Association 2007 Career position - Board Member, Institute for Professional Practice in Heritage and the Arts, Australian National University Australian National University (1946 - )
