Presented by: Brian Samuels
Brian Samuels’ passions for State and local history emerged around 1970. He was one of the founders of the Historical Society of SA and a founding member of and first Honorary Historian to the Port Adelaide Historical Society. He spent 12 years with the History Trust of SA, ultimately becoming Director of the State History Centre, and 19 as Principal Heritage Officer with Heritage SA, retiring in July 2011. Knowledge of local history brings the past to life by enabling you to read the history in your surroundings. It thereby enriches your everyday life and helps build a sense of belonging. In addition, understanding the forces that have shaped a community gives you a better chance of intelligently guiding it into the future. His presentation will focus on State history through the prism of North Terrace.
