For the Love of Community Halls

A photographic record of South Australia's settler-era social infrastructure

For the Love of Community Halls is a project creating a large-format photographic book celebrating community halls across South Australia - particularly those in regional and remote towns.

The book will document around 100 halls, including those still in use and those that now stand quietly as places of memory.

It is being developed as a curated, full-colour hardcover coffee-table book.
