"David Jones is donating its archive to Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, it has been
announced today. It is a timely reminder of the significance of “DJs”,
Australia’s oldest department store, to the development of modern Australia.

David Jones’ archive was overseen by Barbara Horton for 35 years.

Since she retired in 2010, David Jones has changed hands several times and the
archive, holding over 185 years of history, has been locked away with limited
access.

Thankfully, DJs’ heritage is now secure for the future and access to this
significant cultural asset will again be possible."

Share and enjoy,
