University Archives, Records & Collections is proud to announce the launch of The Spirit of Knowledge: a social history of the University of Adelaide North Terrace Campus by Rob Linn.

The Spirit of Knowledge not only describes the influence of architects and planners, academics, administrators, graduates and students whose lives were centred at the University of Adelaide, but also emphasises its role in the development of our state and highlights the transformation over time of buildings and grounds across the original site on North Terrace.

 

Designed and printed in South Australia and published by the Barr Smith Press, the book is lavishly illustrated with over 170 images, many of which are from the University’s own rich Archives and have never before been seen publicly. These superb images, along with the colourful and informative text, take readers on a journey of discovery about one of South Australia’s most notable institutions.
