'Edgar Waters, scholar, folklorist and social historian, brought a sharp intellectual approach and an unwavering historical rigour to the emerging field of Australian folklore. His exceptional knowledge influenced some of the pivotal moments in folklore studies in the second half of the 20th century. He also brought a generous spirit, which encouraged and informed even while maintaining a critical stance, and a lifetime of research simply for the love of learning.'
