Recent member publication: Angelakis, George (1920-1993) by Yianni Cartledge
This recently published Australian Dictionary of Biography entry explores the life of George Angelakis, a South Australian fisherman and seafood merchant. Angelakis was a pre-World War II Greek immigrant who settled in Thevenard, on South Australia’s West Coast. Angelakis became a giant in both the seafood industry and in the South Australian Greek community. His family (particularly his son, Michael) are still notable in the media today.
The entry made use of a range of sources. This included: recently digitised shipping, arrival and naturalisation records found in the National Archives of Australia; a range of collected newspaper clippings from both local and state-wide newspapers, such as the Advertiser, the Sunday Mail, the West Coast Sentinel and the Port Lincoln Times; as well as prior research on South Australia’s fishing industry and the Adelaide Central Market, including a chapter by Angelakis’ brother, Nick. A list of accessible resources is also available on the entry’s page.
