Our Mission Our mission is to encourage and work with the people of South Australia to: • better understand our rich and distinctive history; and • enhance our sense of identity and belonging by making history a living and exciting element in the life of the State. Who We Are The History Trust of South Australia is a statutory authority reporting to Parliament through the Minister for the Arts. It was established in 1981 under the History Trust of South Australia Act (1981, 1995) to encourage the research and public presentation of South Australian history and to safeguard South Australia’s material heritage. The Trust’s central administration is located in historic Edmund Wright House in King William Street, but its main public face is presented by three history museums – the Migration Museum, National Motor Museum and the South Australian Maritime Museum. The Trust also manages an important community history program to assist community museums and historical researchers. The History Trust’s Board of eight trustees reports to the Minister for the Arts. What We Do Under the History Trust of South Australia Act (1981, 1995) the Trust is responsible for the following: • researching and interpreting South Australia’s history; • presenting and exhibiting South Australia’s material history; • managing museums of its own and assisting the State’s community museums; • encouraging and assisting the work of South Australia’s historical societies; • providing policy advice to the Minister for the Arts on issues of relevance to South Australia’s history and material culture. These responsibilities are realised through the following programs: • managing three museums which interpret aspects of South Australia’s history: – the Migration Museum – which preserves and interprets the history of migration to and settlement in South Australia; – the National Motor Museum – which manages and interprets a collection representing Australia’s motoring history; – the South Australian Maritime Museum − which preserves a collection of maritime heritage objects and interprets the
