Join the roomHenry Capper was the emigration clerk who founded the South Australian Record in 1837, a periodical published in London devoted to news from the colony of South Australia. The Record ran from 1837 to 1841 under several title changes. Capper also published two books addressed to prospective migrants to South Australia, both of which went through several editions. However there is no evidence that he ever visited Australia.
