The records of the South Australian Company deposited with the State Library of South Australia, Archival collections (BRG 42 or Business Record Group 42) provide historians and researchers with a useful perspective on the early development of an Australian colonial economy. The South Australian Company contributed greatly to the establishment of the new settlement of South Australia. For over a century, it continued to play an important part in the commercial affairs of Adelaide and its surrounding regions. The substantial volume of material in the record group consists of some fifty separate series, which occupy approximately nineteen metres of shelving. Most of the papers were deposited in the Archival collections in 1937-1938. Material came from both the London and Adelaide offices of the South Australian Company and includes around 150 maps of company lands in South Australia.
