''South Australian Land Owners 1835-1841' is a database designed to provide the
researcher with a complete listing of all land purchases in South Australia as
extracted from a range of records held by the State Library and State Records of
South Australia.
There are details on large land purchases (several hundred or thousand
acres), but most are small 1 acre town allotments. Apart from the name of the purchaser, a range of information about the parcel of
land is provided including the date of purchase and the price paid, as well as
the address at the time of purchase, which often is overseas. The material
is supported by heritage maps showing the location of each land purchase.
As an added feature the database links references to the same person found in
other databases produced for the same era, by the same author:
With a total of 3532 entries detailing early South Australian land owners,
this is a valuable source of information for family historians, but also those
researching South Australia's early history.
