City archives
The City Archives office is open.
From Wednesday 10 June 2020, the Adelaide City Archives is open Wednesdays by appointment only, for those requiring access to development information. We will be expanding the service as time progresses.

Adelaide is a city that is rich in heritage. Fortunately, much of the documentary heritage of the city is preserved in its Archives.
Managed by the City of Adelaide, the City Archives exist in a wide variety of physical formats: volumes, files, documents, photographs, maps, plans, microfilms, computer printouts, tapes and CDs. Much of it is searchable and accessible to the public.
The City Archives can be grouped into three main categories: The Archives collection, including source sheets and the photo library, the Civic collection, and the Oral History collection.
