Burnside Historical Society

Celebrating 43 years of Community History

A community based group that promotes interest in the history of the City of Burnside, a local government area in the eastern foothills of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.

Established in 1980, the Society has a membership of around 120 and new members are most welcome.

General meetings, which feature an address from a visiting speaker, are free and are held at the Burnside Community Centre at 7.30pm on the third Monday of each month (not January or December).  Members of the public are welcome to attend any of the general meetings,  however we would like a gold coin donation.

A quarterly Newsletter was published until September 2020. The Bulletin replaced the Newsletter in October 2019.  This is emailed to most members and posted to others.

In 2021 the first Annual Journal was published and it includes articles about Burnside.

Day and Half Day Trips are arranged a couple of times a year
