INTRODUCTION Karl Rawdon von Stieglitz was born on 19 August 1893 at Evandale, the son of John Charles and Lillian Brooke Vere (nee Stead) von Stieglitz. The first members of his family to come to Van Diemen’s Land were Frederick Lewis von Stieglitz and two of his brothers who arrived in 1829. Henry Lewis, another brother, and the father of John Charles and grandfather of Karl, arrived the following year. John Charles von Stieglitz, after qualifying as a surveyor in Tasmania, moved to Northern Queensland in 1868, where he worked as a surveyor with the Queensland Government, later acquiring properties near Townsville. In 1883, at Townsville he married Mary Mackenzie, who died in 1883. Later he went to England where he married Lillian Stead in London in 1886. On his return to Tasmania he purchased “Andora”, Evandale: the impressive house on the property was built for him in 1888. He was the MHA for Evandale from 1891 to 1903. Karl von Stieglitz visited England with his father during 1913-1914. After his father’s death in 1916, he took possession of “Andora”. He enlisted in the First World War in 1916, but after nearly a year in the AIF (AMC branch) was unable to proceed overseas due to rheumatic fever. He then attended Hawkesbury Agricultural College at Richmond, NSW, for almost two years, and later married Eileen Bessie Helsham there in 1919. They had a son, Charles David William Helsham (born 1925) and a daughter, Elizabeth Brooke Helsham (born 1929). Mr von Stieglitz, a well known pastoralist, established his stud of Corriedale sheep in 1928. The following year the adjoining property of “Woodlands” was added to “Andora”. Keenly interested in Tasmanian history and a staunch Anglican, Notes on St Andrew’s Church centenary, 1837-1937, Evandale, published in 1937, was the first of his many books on local history. All the profits from his publications went to the RSL, Legacy and other charitable organisations. Appointed the Official Historian to the Tasmanian Government, he was also well known for his talks on Tasmanian history for ABC radio and on television. In 1951 he visited Japan and toured Europe. Mr von Stieglitz was Warden of the Evandale Council from 1953 to 1961, a District Justice of the Peace, District Financial Commissioner for the North Midlands District of the Boy Scouts Association, chairman of the Northern Branch of the Royal Society, stalwart of the National Trust, a freemason and secretary and synod representative of St Andrew’s Church. He was awarded the OBE in 1952. Karl von Stieglitz died of a heart attack whilst attending the morning service at St Andrew’s Church of England, Evandale, the subject of his first book, on Easter Sunday, 26 March 1967. His contribution to the recording of Tasmanian history is commemorated by the Mead, Smith, von Stieglitz Memorial Lecture, which was first delivered in 1973.

The von Stieglitz Collection was donated to the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in October 2003, with an additional item donated in 2008. The collection had been held at the Museum since 1969.
