Since 1991 the History Trust of South Australia has held an annual History Conference, alternating each year between a metropolitan Adelaide venue and a regional location. The Community History Unit is responsible for the organisation of the conference. The 17th State History Conference will be held at Sunnybrae Farm Function Centre, Regency Park from 1-3 August 2008.
Titled, Changing Places: Changing Lives the conference will focus on the history of communities, neighbourhoods and working lives that are disappearing in the face of rapid suburban and technological change: and on the challenges facing historians, museums and heritage experts to record and preserve the past and the process of change for the future.
