What’s happening at the @migration_museum

  • Looking for a special gift? Honour your family with a commemorative paver. Every South Australian family has a story. Your ancestors, or you, might have arrived with only a suitcase of dreams, seeking a better life. Or perhaps your family was fleeing persecution. Or maybe looking for love and adventure. Whether your family are recent arrivals, have been here for generations, or have always called this continent home, there is a special place of honour for you at the Migration Museum. Each paver will be engraved with a name, place of origin and year of arrival in Australia, and will be installed in Settlement Square. All donations fund special programs at the Migration Museum. Paver closing date: 6 November 2020 There are limited pavers available, visit: https://migration.history.sa.gov.au/get-involved/migration-museum-foundation/ and secure your paver today.

  • This soccer club membership card belonged to Antonio Giordano, who migrated to Australia from Italy in 1924. Giordano was a keen promoter of sports and social activities for the Italian community. He was later made a life member in recognition of his contribution to the club. Juventus Soccer Club was founded by Italian migrants in Adelaide in 1946. Community members came together to play, run and support the club, and were linked to Juventus clubs in other Australian states as well as the original club in Italy. Soccer boomed in South Australia during the 1950s, mirroring the growth of post-war migration. Juventus dominated the state competition in that decade, winning six state championships including four in a row between 1956 and 1959. Other clubs in the state competition in the 1950s included Budapest, Polonia, Slovakia, Beograd and Vytis as well as Port Thistle, Enfield and Railway. Juventus was known as Adelaide Juventus from 1960. In 1977 Adelaide Juventus became Adelaide City and a founding member of the National Soccer League, Australia’s first national sporting league.
