Jubilee 150 Collection

This collection constitutes approximately 200 items relating to the sesquicentenary (150th anniversary) of European settlement of South Australia in 1986 (known as Jubilee 150 or J150).  The core of the collection is the original and reproduction costumes and accessories used in the popular social history exhibition Those Were The Days. The exhibition was a project of the Women's Executive Committee and held in John Martin's Department Store in Adelaide.  The remainder of the collection is mainly souvenirs featuring the J150 logo and 'J.W.' the wombat, the J150 mascot.
