Since its foundation in 1909, the backbone of the RHSV has been the books and papers donated by members of the Victorian public. ‘Ordinary’ people have donated items that have now become extraordinarily rare. The President of the Society, Dr Andrew Lemon, will present this lecture which highlights the character of the collection and its significance for Victoria’s cultural heritage.
