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.

CATALOGUING CLINICS 2024

ZOOM Join from anywhere in the world

Join Jillian Hiscock, the RHSV Collections Manager, each month in this informative and easy-going Zoom forum on all aspects of cataloguing collections for historical societies. Jillian has a different topic each month and is happy to be guided by those who attend as to what they would like covered in upcoming clinics. Bring your questions (no matter the topic) - this is an interactive space where questions are encouraged. The RHSV does not endorse any particular cataloguing software - we believe it is horses for courses - and Jillian will talk about issues that impact on cataloguing whether you are using cataloguing cards or software.
