Proceedings of the Australian Academy of the Humanities

Years to Remember

Proceedings is the annual record of the events, activities, members, finances, obituaries, lectures and so on of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. Published every year from 1970, Proceedings contains the details of the previous year. So the edition published in 2005 will contain all the relevant information from 2004, and so on. Please note that for some editions several years were condensed into one volume: volumes 11 (1980-81), 12 (1982-83), 13 (1984-86) and 14 (1987-89). They have been displayed separately to allow viewing of all Academy lecture titles. Lastly, please be aware that prior to 1982, Proceedings also contained essays on various subjects, normally bibliographical in nature. While these are not lectures, they are presented here as such.

Below is a list of Proceedings currently downloadable in Portable Document Format (.PDF). Click on the highlighted file size to download. You can also see brief bibliographic details, as well as the titles of any obituaries and lectures presented therein.
