Sir Edward HallstromPrint Page

The Blue Plaque recognises entrepreneur and philanthropist, Sir Edward Hallstrom (1886 - 1970). 

Self-made and self-educated, Sir Edward cared deeply about animal conservation and left his lasting mark at Taronga Zoo. He remains one of the zoo’s most generous private benefactors, donating over half a million dollars towards animal upkeep and breeding programs during his lifetime.

The New South Wales Blue Plaques program celebrates heritage by recognising noteworthy people and events from our State’s history. The program aims to capture public interest and fascination in people, events and places which form the story of NSW. It is inspired by the famous London Blue Plaques program which originally started in 1866, and similar programs around the world.
