Travel through time to discover South Australia’s rich history
Over the past 10 weeks, we have brought you 40 objects from the History Trust of South Australia’s digital collection to celebrate the organisation’s 40th anniversary. Here we pull the entire digital exhibition together to allow you to enjoy the entire journey through the ages.
From the games people played and the clothes they wore to a look at how work and education have evolved, the digital exhibition looked at both the light-hearted and the serious aspects of how South Australia has become what it is today.
A 40th birthday bash with heaps of history
Since 1981, the History Trust of South Australia has collected, preserved and promoted the State’s stories and material culture.
The games we play
Play is a part of learning, and growing up. Children have always imitated the adults around them to learn how things work in the world. In the second gallery of the InDaily digital exhibition, we explore the story behind the significant toys in the History Trust of South Australia’s collection.
