The Observer (Adelaide)

The Adelaide Observer was a Saturday newspaper published in Adelaide, South Australia from 1843 to 1931.

The first edition of the newspaper was published on 1 July 1843. The newspaper was founded by John Stephens, its sole proprietor, who in 1845 purchased another local newspaper, the South Australian Register.

In January 1905, the newspaper was renamed The Observer, whose masthead proclaimed "The Observer. News of the world, politics, agriculture, mining, literature, sport and society. Established 1843".

In February 1931, the newspaper, along with The Register and other sister publications, was taken over by The Advertiser and shut down.

Virtually every issue of the newspaper (under both titles) has been digitised and is available online through the National Library of Australia's Trove archive service.
