These Grants, which are awarded from time to time for projects related to South Australia’s history, make possible projects that might not otherwise even get off the ground. The Historical Society of South Australia actively strives to support projects that promote the study, recording, writing and exhibition of South Australia’s stories.
The HSSA Grants Scheme has been in abeyance for a few years but was offered again from 2022. Applications are open for 2023 and will close on March 31. Successful applicants will be notified in May 2023.
A sample application form is available here.
