Introduction to searching South Australian State Government Records relating to Land Ownership and Land Boundaries.
Do you have a person’s name or a property location you want to know more about? In this session learn about searching Land Ownership and Land Boundaries records. Explore the world of land records, tenure maps, legislation and how to navigate land records to unlock history. Even though this is an introduction, you will still be shown some searches you can do on-line (and some searches are free!).
