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.
