| | History Festival 1-31 May Take a look at the full May 2024 History Festival program.
Posters Exhibition - “They Came in Ships” Pioneers SA Office, L2, 25 Leigh Street Tue 7, 14 & 21 and Thu 2, 9, 16 & 23 May, 10am - 2pm Open to members and public. Admission free.
Wednesday 26 June 10.30am From the late 1850s until 1918, the Destitute Asylum, Adelaide, provided lying-in relief for pregnant, destitute women with nowhere else to turn. Until the early twentieth century, this was the only public place in South Australia that provided for the confinement of destitute women who could not afford the alternative - a home birth at a private address with an independent nurse or midwife. This talk will explore the events that led up to the construction of the Lying-in Department in the late 1870s, the circumstances that influenced a woman’s admission and length of stay, and the outcomes for the mothers and their infants upon discharge. | |
