The Salt of the earth – history of Red Hill St Vincent’s

A history of the St Vincent de Paul Society, Red Hill. It was first society established in Queensland and has continued to provide assistance in the Red Hill community to the present. Research for the publication was enriched by a substantial volume of visitation cards from the 1920s and 1930s. These cards provided names, dates, addresses, and type of assistance by visiting society members. The mapping of households reveal the extent of the society’s work in the suburbs of Petrie Terrace and Paddington.
