Donations

Financial donations can be made through the Secretary. Kangaroo Island Pioneers Association Inc is a registered charitable organisation.

Whereas our Association is interested in all things historical about Kangaroo Island, we regret that we do not accept donations of items that should really be housed in museums - such as Hope Cottage, Penneshaw or Parndana. However, we are happy to consider publishing suitably digitised images of such items, including documents and photographs, (subject to copyright provisions). If you wish to do this, please submit high definition images, accompanied by as much explanatory information as possible: provenance, people, places, and dates, along with a written statement that gives us permission to publish. 

Research assistance

The Kangaroo Island Pioneers Association (KIPA) is happy to assist you with your research about Kangaroo Island where possible, but please be mindful that we are volunteers and our assistance will, of necessity, be limited.  You might also consider placing a classified ad in the local newspaper. Or you might consider Facebook Groups such as Growing Up on Kangaroo Island.  Please provide to us as much detail as possible of your research to date (with sources), particularly birth, marriage and death details, before we can agree to help you. More comprehensive assistance will normally be provided for financial members. For non members, a commensurate donation would be appreciated. 

Finding things on this site

One of the best features of Google Sites is its searching capability. Click the magnifying glass on the top right of every page.

A successful search produces a list of search results (like any Google search). Clicking on your chosen result takes you to the page where your search string is located. Then use your computer's "Find" function, e.g. Ctrl-F to locate the word or phrase on that page.

Finding errors on this site

We welcome your drawing our attention to any errors on this site, no matter how small. It is best to email us with a screenshot, with a description of the error and your suggestion for a correction. We do not purport that any of the information is complete or accurate, but what we do have is appropriately sourced and is on the public record. Any new information MUST be accompanied by a citation to an authoritative source before we can consider making any additions or changes.
