Hi, does anyone know whether the records of the Destitutes Board in South Australia are still in existence, and if so, where are they kept and can they be accessed? I've found several newspaper reports of the Board's meetings from the 1850s that mention people I'm researching, but I'm wondering if there are any records that would give me more details. Thanks

Thanks Pam. I had a look at the archives page. It looks as though the records do exist and contain some very useful information. I'm hoping to go to Adelaide later this year so I will definitely be visiting the state archives.
