South Australian History

Adelaide Cooperative History publishes articles and databases online to enhance the understanding of South Australian history.

For example, search the database of land purchases on credit, and then read the associated article to find out more about the credit selection scheme. Or search the naturalizations database and read its companion article for more information.

Our databases and articles are especially useful to family historians, assisting them to expand their genealogies or family trees into detailed family histories.
