Significance

This collection documents the growth of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia and the Royal Adelaide Show during the first half of the twentieth century, reflecting the importance of agriculture and horticulture to the state’s economy in this period. It is a visual record that includes the Show’s presence on North Terrace in the city and its subsequent move to Wayville in 1925. The collection offers glimpses of the architecture of the city of Adelaide that no longer exists including the Jubilee Exhibition Building on North Terrace and Centennial Hall at Wayville.
