History Festival Workshop – 24 November 2024

  • Have you ever thought about hosting an event in South Australia’s History Festival in May?
  • Have you wondered where to start?
  • Is your church celebrating a significant event in 2025, and might want to celebrate during the History Festival?
  • Have you hosted an event for the History Festival, and have some useful information to share with others?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you’re invited to be part of a workshop on Sunday 24 November 2024 at 3:00pm (and will finish by 4:30pm). This will be held at the Church of the Trinity (318 Goodwood Road, Clarence Park).

This session will help you register for the event. The 2025 festival theme is “decisions” and the workshop will share creative ways to describe your event. Being part of this festival will raise the profile of your congregation in its local area (or beyond).

Please let us know if you are coming (office@ucsahistory.org.au).

Church Records

Have you ever wondered what church records needs to be kept? Or what items should be sent to the History Centre? Or even what sort of items we hold at the History Centre?

Our information on Dealing with Historical Records should provide the information you need.

Please note: The UCA Synod of SA has a new Grants and Historical Records offer. Instead of contacting Malcolm Wilson (as advised in the information at the link above), please contact:

On this Day…

A calendar of celebrations and commemorations of the Uniting Church (and Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches) in South Australia since 1836. This page is being regularly updated with the celebrations, commemorations and information about the churches and people

Oral History Project

In 2021, we began an oral history project to add to our valuable collection of historical records. This project continues as we want to capture people’s experiences of the Uniting Church and/or its antecedent denominations in South Australia before that history is lost.

We need volunteers – people to volunteer as interviewers or prepared to be interviewees.
Training will be organised for interviewers in association with Oral History SA and the State Library of SA.

If you’d like to volunteer in some way, we would love to hear from you. Our contact details are on the right.
