About

This month for Wednesdays @ 1, we'll be joined by Erin Reardon, Museum and Archives Coordinator at the Adelaide Showground.

Online via Zoom and in the library on Unley Road. FREE for Genealogy SA members, $20 for non-members.

The collection of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society Archives contains competition entries and catalogues, maps, programs, photographs and much more, providing a fascinating insight into the era of their creation. When Erin Reardon began at the RA&HS Archives, he quickly discovered he had the autonomy and expectation to decide the direction of the archives, a simultaneously exciting and daunting prospect. This talk will discuss the collection, the history it represents, and finding the right help to future-proof it and make it accessible.

Please note, this session will be recorded, and all registrants will receive a link to the recording after the event.

Registrations close Wednesday 5 February, 9:00 am.
