State Records of South Australia

Original design for the State emblem of South Australia - Piping Shrike
GRG 2-1-66-1

State Records of South Australia is the government archives of South Australia and holds a large part of our state's official documentary heritage.

We hold records covering almost every facet of state and local government administration within South Australia. As a result, our records provide valuable insight and knowledge about the lives of South Australians.

The State Records collection holds many maps, plans, registers, films and photographs, in addition to thousands of documents dating from the earliest days of European settlement to recent times.

We welcome your feedback. To leave feedback please contact us.
