The Royal Society of NSW is a registered charity and very much welcomes your support. Donations in support of our Library and Scholarship programs are tax-deductible in Australia.
From time to time, the Society initiates fundraising activities in support of specific aspects of its work. At this time (December 2021) our focus is on the following project.
RSNSW Archives—Evaluation and Restoration
The Society has an extensive collection of archives and objects of immense importance in the early history of NSW. We need to professionally evaluate and document this collection to enable future access and display. To read further, please follow this link.

Further information about the project
The Royal Society of NSW has an extensive archive and collection of objects, some of which are displayed at the 200th anniversary NEXUS Exhibition at the State Library of NSW.
While the restoration of some of the archives required for the NEXUS exhibition has been generously supported by the Society’s membership, there is much more to be done.
The preparations for NEXUS have revealed the true extent of the archives and how valuable these items are in terms of the early history of NSW. This current funding drive seeks to implement a project to provide professional evaluation and documentation of the Society’s archives, under the supervision of the Society’s Honorary Archivist.
The outcome of this project will be the prioritisation of the future restoration, display, and public access to these important archives.
