A special free event as part of South Australia's History Festival.

As the Manager of the West Terrace Cemetery from 1994-1996, David McGowan was challenged to find the location of the graves of thousands of stillborns and babies who failed to thrive, buried on the grounds between 1900 and the 1980s. In meeting this challenge, he also initiated the construction of the Baby Memorial, giving recognition to the babies buried and peace to their families, who never knew the location of their children. This May, as part of the History Festival, David will share the story of how the project came to be, the process of identifying the graves and the resolution it achieved for those mothers.  

Greenacres Library, Saturday 12 May, 10-11am (if you would prefer this date and location, please book it separately)
