SA History Week 2010 saw a record 405 events across South Australia - everything from tours to talks, from exhibitions to performances, beginning with an outdoor broadcast by ABC 891 in Rundle Mall on 21 May to coincide with the Motoring in the Mall event. The hard work was done by 294 event organisers, whose efforts were rewarded by visits from an estimated 70,000 people keen to know something more about South Australian history.

This site is an interactive record of the 2010 program.

In 2011, SA History Week has been expanded to a month long event: About Time: South Australia's History Festival, running from 1 to 31 May.
