We love this hand tinted image of a busy #Adelaide street in the early 1900s, can you guess which street this is? #triviatuesday

Love the mental image of a “grimy archivist wearing a suit of blue dungarees and looking like a scavenger [bringing] the first dray-load of Government Records to the archives” #Archives100 #grimybutnotdusty
