TRUSTEES

Our Trustees are appointed under the provisions of the Royal Society of Victoria’s Crown Grant (1883) of the land on which its buildings had been established; as organisations could not own land at this juncture, our Trustees are effectively the land owners who ensure that the Society continues to fulfil the objects of the Grant, this being to advance and promote scientific knowledge in Victoria.
