Foreword

Your Committee take pleasure in presenting the 1978 Journal of the Nelson Historical Society. The interest taken in the Society's activities during the past year is encouraging. There is still a great deal of Nelson History to be recorded and researched and facilities here are exceptionally good. Since our last Journal appeared we have published, in conjunction with P. V. & N. L. Wastney a comprehensive history of one area, "Early Tide to Wakapuaka." During the year we received a bequest from the late James Jenkins one of the founders of our Society. The interest on a sum of money is to be used for occasional Memorial Lectures. This will serve to remind us of the debt the Society and Nelson owe for his organising the collection of much of the material now housed at Isel.

Next year will be the Silver Jubilee of our Society. I hope members will co-operate to mark it in a fitting manner.

Ian D. Simpson,

President.
