The Pioneers
Association Journal is issued quarterly and is our
way of keeping in touch with members all over the
world. The Association was inaugurated in 1935 and
there has always been a continuing membership of
several hundred, not all of whom live in metropolitan
Adelaide. We now boast approximately 700 subscribers,
some of whom are interstate and some that are overseas.
A good proportion live in rural and remote areas
throughout the country. |

For the most part articles
concentrate on the time span between the late 1820's
up until the middle 1840's. This provides our readership
with some understanding as to why their forebears
came to Australia and how the process of systematic
colonization, as proposed by Edward Gibbon Wakefield,
led to their emigration. Of equal interest too are
the trials and tribulations of settling a new country
that many endured, sometimes with limited resources.
Here, we are sometimes treated, to anecdotal information
of a personal nature that is both comforting and
edifying. We are continually surprised by the new
material which surfaces from time to time and members
are indebted to those families who have kept such
good records and who are now prepared to share them
with others. |

The Journal is for all
members and we invite contributions that are consistent
with the Association’s aims and objectives.
If you wish to submit items for publication, either
post to our headquarters at Basement, Stafford House,
23-25 Leigh Street, Adelaide or email to pioneersa@chariot.net.au.
