Developing Sydney Part 3 with Sylvia Rosenblum

Developing Sydney is new series with Laila Ellmoos, historian with the City of Sydney and is the title of an exhibition Laila was curating at Customs House opening late March 2020. This did not go ahead. However, the exhibition is now online at: https://www.sydneycustomshouse.com.au/visit/exhibitions-events

The exhibition and the series examines Sydney 1900 – 1920 through the archives of photographs in council’s collection. It also marks a new and easier way for us to access the archives. This is the link: https://archives.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au

In Part 3, Laila Ellmoos talks some more about council’s powers of demolition of buildings and the rise of the Royal Australian Historical Society, concerned with remembering what the city was losing.
