Combining the heritage collections of Adelaide’s health and medical institutions.

The physical structure of an institution is important, but a hospital is more than bricks and mortar, and it is the people who work in it, who give it quality and tradition.

Our collection focuses on the institutions within the Central Adelaide Local Health Network: Royal Adelaide Hospital, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, SA Dental, SA Pathology, Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre, and other private collections.

We seek to recognise the many contributions made by professionals, not just those in hospitals but in the community as a whole. While recognising doctors and nurses, we also display the work of dentists, pharmacists, allied health professionals, laboratory staff, biomedical engineers, hospital administrators, and others in various institutions.
