In a field as broad as South Australian history any selection of books for a list like
this must reflect personal taste, and there are bound to be books omitted which others
would include. For a taste of the huge range of books and unpublished research on various
aspects of our past readers should consult F.K. Crowley's bibliography South Australian
History (Libraries Board of S.A. 1966). For local studies more recent bibliographies
are South Australian Regional History and Geography (1975) and its supplement
(1976), both available gratis at the State Library, and J. Warcup and M. Cottington Local
Histories of South Australia: A Regional Bibliography (2nd edition, Department of
Environment and Planning 1984). The most up to date general bibliography of works on our
State's history is Brian Condon's S.A.S.S. (South Australian materials for
Social Science) It is on microfiche but will also be available as several printed
specialist bibliographies in 1988. The books by Bowes, Depasquale, Hirst and Williams
('Making') cited above also contain useful bibliographies. Finally, there is S. Marsden's
very useful overview, source guide and chronology Historical Guidelines (S.A.
Department for the Environment 1980) produced for the S.A. State Preservation Plan.
