WELCOME

The History Council of South Australia (HCSA) is a peak body, providing a representative voice on historical issues, while working to celebrate and raise the profile of history in South Australia. Incorporated since 2003, HCSA evolved from an informal ‘History Alliance’ initiated by the History Teachers Association of SA in the mid-1990s.

Our organization members include the main bodies concerned with history in this state and many regional historical societies; there is also provision for individual membership.

New:   President’s newsletters from 2005 to the present can now be accessed online
