  2. To encourage recipients of scholarships, bursaries or prizes to become involved in the activities of the Show Society; and

Archives Foundation

The Royal Agricultural & Horticultural Society of SA Inc has a range of archival information on site relating to the history of the Society, Royal Adelaide Show and Royal Adelaide Wine Show. This material is available for research purposes on an appointment basis.
As we are a 'collecting' archive we welcome donations of relevant material such as photographs, award certificates, ribbons, rosettes, trophies, medals, posters, showbags etc.  Monetary donations to the Archives Foundation are also welcomed in order that  we can continue to preserve and restore our collection.
