INAUGURAL GWENDA D. M. JONES MEMORIAL LECTURE

RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

We are thrilled to launch the inaugural Gwenda D. M. Jones Memorial lecture as part of our Distinguished Lecture series. Eminent historian, Richard Aitken will deliver the inaugural lecture, ‘“Orontes” adventure: introducing the Jones Collection of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria’. Richard will use Gwen’s 1953–54 study tour of Britain and Europe as a springboard for discussing the Jones Collection. Richard is best known as a garden historian but he was also a friend of Gwen and her family. During COVID lockdowns Richard worked assiduously to organise and annotate the Jones Collection. His deep knowledge of Gwen and her family adds immeasurably to the value of the collection.
