Bookshop Back issues of journals and Insights for sale. Each month the Society meets to hear intriguing stories and colourful accounts of our state's lively past. New discoveries about South Australian history are often first revealed at these meetings. The speakers can be professional historians or dedicated amateurs but they are always experts in their subjects. Question time afterwards and discussions during supper add further interest to the evenings.
Admission is free and visitors are always made welcome.
The past is also brought to life on our field trips when members can retrace the footsteps of the pioneers in city streets, suburban parks and country towns. In recent years we have visited churches, mines, pubs, historic homes, public buildings, cemeteries and even a former sewage farm.

The HSSA publication, Insights into South Australian History , Volumes I and II, is available at our meetings, as are other books and pamphlets to interest members.
