SA HISTORY WEEK2

SA HISTORY WEEK3

I am delighted to introduce the program for SA History Week 2010.

Each year since 2004 SA History Week has grown. It is easy to see from this year’s program why it has become one of South Australia’s biggest community events and such a valued part of the State’s cultural calendar. This history festival offers literally hundreds of opportunities to engage with South Australia’s rich and diverse past, through an exciting mix of displays, tours, talks and special events across the State.

SA History Week would not be possible without the many hundreds of community volunteers who work tirelessly to develop and present the activities listed in the pages of this program. On behalf of the South Australian Government I would like to extend my thanks to those volunteers who work with History SA to preserve and interpret our shared past.

I hope you will enjoy taking part in SA History Week 2010.

John Hill, MiNiSTEr ASSiSTiNG THE PrEMiEr iN THE ArTS

I am delighted that Adelaide City Council, through our collaboration with History SA, is able to help celebrate our capital city’s rich heritage.

This partnership is offering an extensive program of events, tours and information sessions to encourage people to admire and even experience parts of our city’s exciting past. History Week 2010 also offers a chance to discover the historic North Adelaide precinct on a heritage bus tour.

This year, Adelaide City Council celebrates 22 years of providing financial assistance to owners of heritage buildings within the city, and we are proud to be able to offer the public the opportunity to discover Adelaide’s unique and fascinating historical tapestry.

Michael Harbison, LOrD MAyOr OF ADELAiDE

History SA is proud to present SA History Week 2010. Once again South Australia will be buzzing with history, as tens of thousands of people take the opportunity to discover South Australia’s rich and vibrant past. This program offers something for everyone, including activities for schools and families.

I would like to acknowledge the dedication of the many individuals and organisations, including many volunteers, who partner with us to present SA History Week. Countless hours go into preparing for SA History Week each year, and it is the ideas and hard work behind the individual activities which ensure the festival’s success and popularity. Thank you for your continued support. It ensures that History Week is in every sense a community-based festival.

I hope you will take some time to look through the pages of this program and discover the amazing variety of activities on offer this year. I am certain you will find plenty of interest and trust that you will enjoy SA History Week 2010.

History SA is unique in Australia, with a brief to research, preserve and present the state’s history.

One of our primary responsibilities is care of the State Historical Collection, selections of which are displayed in History SA’s three museums: the Migration Museum, the South Australian Maritime Museum and the National Motor Museum.

We also work closely with community organisations in many aspects of our work. Our community history programs include the Community Museums Program, a program of assistance to community museums, the South Australian History Fund, which assists historical researchers and historical societies, SA History Week itself, the annual State History Conference and a regular program of travelling exhibitions, workshops and information seminars.

HOmE IS WHERE THE HEART ISg

In the 1950s and 60s nearly two million people arrived from the other side of the world hoping to make Australia home. In their hearts they treasured memories of their lives in far-off places. So they re-imagined and re-created traditions and practices, making homes and gardens that were neither Australian nor of their homelands, but somewhere else - hybrid places where past and present met and where the heart discovered new ties to the future. Parking available on street and nearby parking stations. No bookings required for this event.
