''South Australian Land Owners 1835-1841' is a database designed to provide the researcher with a complete listing of all land purchases in South Australia as extracted from a range of records held by the State Library and State Records of South Australia.

There are details on large land purchases (several hundred or thousand acres), but most are small 1 acre town allotments. Apart from the name of the purchaser, a range of information about the parcel of land is provided including the date of purchase and the price paid, as well as the address at the time of purchase, which often is overseas. The material is supported by heritage maps showing the location of each land purchase.

As an added feature the database links references to the same person found in other databases produced for the same era, by the same author:

* South Australia Pre-Civil Registration Births
* South Australia Pre-Civil Registration Marriages
* South Australia Pre-Civil Registration Deaths
* South Australia 1840 Cultivators
* South Australian 1841 Census and Biographies
* Sources for South Australian Shipping Records 1836 to 1842

With a total of 3532 entries detailing early South Australian land owners, this is a valuable source of information for family historians, but also those researching South Australia's early history.
