I am delighted to introduce the program for SA History Week 2007. SA History Week 2007. SA History Week

History Week is now in its fourth year and, if this program is any indication,

it is going from strength to strength.

The number and diversity of community events refl ected in this program is

quite astonishing - clear testimony to the many hundreds of hours contributed

each year by the volunteers who work so hard for South Australian history.

I would like to pay tribute, on behalf of the South Australian Government, to

the enormous contribution they make.

South Australia has a proud and distinctive history. It is important to our sense

of ourselves and to our sense of place. The South Australian Government is

pleased to continue to sponsor SA History Week and to help make our history SA History Week and to help make our history SA History Week

better known.

Adelaide City Council is once again a proud sponsor of SA History Week.

I am delighted that by working with the History Trust of South Australia, the

Adelaide City Council is able to help foster and celebrate Adelaide’s rich

heritage. An extensive program of events, tours and information sessions has

been developed, enabling people to admire and appreciate our history.

A visit to Adelaide’s fi rst hotel, the Beresford Arms, which was built on Gilles

Street in 1839, is one attraction of SA History Week. Discovering magnifi cent

stone kerbs and gutters, seeing Victorian period horse hitching posts and

viewing the 1870s survey mark are also part of the SA History Week program.

I encourage you to visit some of these sites and enjoy our heritage.

SA History Week also allows the public to discover the treasures that lie within

many heritage buildings. A number of these buildings are not usually open to

the public, yet they are so important to Adelaide’s past. SA History Week really

is an exciting time!

Adelaide has many historical beauties and SA History Week is a time to

embrace our past. On behalf of the Adelaide City Council I hope you enjoy SA

History Week and particularly some of the interesting heritage sites Adelaide

has to offer.

The History Trust of South Australia is proud to present the 2007 SA History

Week program for the fourth consecutive year. We hope that this year you will

fi nd even more activities to spark your interest.

Once again the South Australian historical community has worked together to

showcase the extraordinary wealth of our history and heritage. From museums

and archives to historic buildings and archaeological sites, we have a veritable

treasure trove to draw on in this State.

I would especially like to thank all of those community partners who have

joined with the History Trust to make History Week such a success over the

years. They come from all regions of the State and from all walks of life.

Each community has a different story to tell and sometimes those stories are

surprising. But together they add up to that precious commodity - our collective

community memory.

I hope that something in this program will encourage you to delve into the past

a little and, perhaps, to discover something new and surprising!

The historical photographs used in the SA History Week program are from the

South Australian Glass Negatives Collection.

This Collection has a very interesting history. Between 1890 and 1960 the

Department of Lands was responsible for the offi cial photographic record of

South Australia. Initially, a government photographic unit, using equipment

already owned by the Department of Lands’ Survey Department, began to

record government achievements, state celebrations and, for a fee, took

photographs for annual reports for other government departments and for

parliamentary records. Over the years, this growing collection also became a

repository for photographs specially commissioned by the South Australian

Government, including those taken by Frank Hurley in 1935 for the State’s

Centenary Committee to record the State after 100 years of European

settlement (1836-1936).

By the 1970s the large glass plates used by the unit were little known and

seldom required. The Department of Lands decided to send them to the

South Australian Archives (now State Records). In the mid 1980s the then

Constitutional Museum, a museum of the newly established History Trust of

South Australia, undertook the mammoth task of re-photographing the glass

negatives onto 35mm conventional fi lm negatives and cataloguing the 14,000

images, using workers employed under the Hawke Labor Government’s

Commonwealth Employment Program (CEP).

Since 1985, the images and catalogue have been available at the History Trust

of South Australia for research and use in publications. Extra information and

corrections have been added to the catalogue by volunteer George Brooks who

spent many years at the History Trust as well as at State Records identifying

the images that were a mystery to the 1980s cataloguers. The actual glass

negatives remain with State Records. The History Trust holds the only catalogue

and copy set of the Collection.

Recorded within the Collection are ceremonial events of all kinds, the day-to-

day progress of major public works and the growth of townships, ports, industry

and trade. The Collection shows South Australians at work and at play. In short,

the collection covers everything that interested governments either directly or

indirectly.

In late 2005 work commenced on a digitisation project for this signifi cant

Collection. Once completed, sometime in 2007, it will enable researchers

a much quicker and more effi cient means of tapping into this wonderful

photographic record.

If you wish to either browse or obtain images from this unique Collection, please

contact Lynn Drew, Information Resources Manager, History Trust of South

Australia on 8203 9873, or email [email protected].

The Glass Negatives Collection images used in this booklet will be available for

viewing on the History Trust website after Friday 4 May.

Open Doors in the CityAdelaide City Council will hold its Open Doors in the City again in 2007. Last year, Open Doors proved to be an exciting and popular part of SA History Week. It is an opportunity to view seldom seen parts of our rich architectural heritage in the City of Adelaide. Open Doors in the City is modelled on the highly successful Heritage Open Days held for many years in Britain and Europe. Heritage listed buildings which are not generally open to the public will be accessible during this special event.

ABC Radio NationalIN THE TRACKS OF GOYDER

Tune to Radio National on your radio, to listen to a 50 minute radio documentary, which tells the story of George Woodroofe Goyder, former Surveyor-General of South Australia and the creator of the ‘Goyder line’. Goyder’s ‘line of rainfall’ is a South Australian icon. One hundred and forty years after Goyder drew it, the full extent of his legacy is only now being recognised. Goyder set in motion a transformation of the South Australian landscape, the traces of which we still see today. In his time, Goyder was attacked in Parliament and ridiculed in the press - but his keen insights into climate, landscape and the limits of human settlement have proved to be remarkably prescient. Sunday 20 May, 2.00 pm; Thursday 24 May, 1.00 pmABC Radio National, Hindsight, http://www.abc.net.au/rn/hindsight/default.htmEnquiries: Tom Morton (02) 8333 1390; Claudia Taranto, (02) 8333 1436Look up frequency for your location on http://abc.net.au/rn/freq/freqsa.htmEmail: [email protected]
