Finding Your Family HistoryOn This Page
State Records of South Australia holds many records that may help you to research your family history. On this page we provide answers to common questions about how we can help. What does State Records do?State Records is the archives for the official records of State and Local Government in South Australia. The records in our collection are transferred into our custody when of no further active use to the government agencies that created them. Records can be viewed by the public at our Research Centres. Access conditions may apply. Related Information: 
What types of records do you have?
Records covering almost every facet of public administration are included in the collection. The types of records created by past and present South Australian government agencies may include:
What records can I view?Government agencies, in accordance with the State Records Act, 1997, determine whether records are Open or Unrestricted after a specified period of time. A record that is Open can be viewed at one of our Research Centres. A record that is Unrestricted after a specified period of time may require permission to view. To view records still under access restrictions, you will need to get written permission from the South Australian government agency that created or controls the records. Research Centre staff can provide advice about gaining permission to view. Related Information:
How can I view the records?Once you have identified the records you want, they can be ordered using our catalogue, ArchivesSearch, which is available from the State Records website. If you are not familiar with the ordering process, we recommend that you visit a Research Centre and seek help to order from Research Centre staff. If you receive error messages, please seek help from Research Centre staff. Please note that there are no digital images of records available through the catalogue. Original records can only be viewed at a Research Centre. Related Information:
What Assistance is Available from State Records?Research Centre staff can discuss your research with you when you visit a Research Centre. We can also provide some advice in response to email enquiries, but generally we do not carry out detailed research. Further details on the research services we do offer can be found at the links below. Related Information:
