The History Trust of South Australia is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of South Australia. With a mission to give the past a future, the Trust manages an array of museums, such as the South Australian Maritime Museum, National Motor Museum, Migration Museum, and Centre of Democracy. Each venue offers unique insights into maritime stories, road transport history, diverse migration narratives, and the evolution of democracy, respectively.

The Trust also celebrates history through various programs, including the South Australia’s History Festival, educational initiatives, and engaging public events like tours and talks. Visitors can explore permanent and temporary exhibitions, participate in collaborative projects like the Sir Hubert Wilkins Project, or engage with digital collections. The Trust invites community involvement through volunteer opportunities and donations, striving to inspire and educate all Australians about their cultural heritage. With emphasis on reflection and connection, the History Trust fosters a deeper understanding of the past while paving the way for future generations.
