Speaker: Beth M Robertson Topic: The Old Colonists Photographic Mosaics Collection - Its scope and significance.
Most members of the Pioneers Association will be familiar with the pair of photographic mosaics created by Henry Jones in the 1870s depicting men and women ‘Old Colonists’, most of whom arrived or were born in the first five years of the province of South Australia, 1836-1840. As Manager of Preservation at the State Library, Beth Robertson led a 15-year project, 2007-2022, to uncover, research, preserve, digitise and make available online all the library’s Old Colonists photographic mosaics, and to identify the 1,728 men and women depicted. It became clear that the collection met not one or two but every eligibility criteria of the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Program for documentary heritage of significance. Beth Robertson’s presentation will illustrate the historical, stylistic and social significance of the collection, including its rarity and completeness.
