Royal Historical Society of Victoria
Registrace 27. 07. 2020
The Royal Historical Society of Victoria (RHSV) was formed in 1909 and is a community organisation committed to collecting, researching and sharing an understanding of the history of Victoria.
We aim to encourage the study of Australian and especially Victorian history by establishing a public museum, art gallery, library and archives. We promote the preservation, proper organisation and publication of authentic historical records.
With the support of a large number of volunteers, the RHSV provides a full program of activities such as lectures, seminars, excursions and exhibitions for the benefit of members and the general public.

From the Baltic to the Pacific: The first displaced persons to arrive in Australia after WWII
This was a free Zoom event on 16th Jauary 2023. It was the RHSV's first partnership with the National Archives of Australia in 2023.
In early December 1947, the first post WW2 ‘Displaced Persons’ arrived in Melbourne. They were 839 women and men from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, selected for resettlement in Australia. This seminar looks at this historic journey, set against the backdrop of Australia’s attitudes and policies to migrants at the time. It also showcases the range of records available via the National Archives of Australia.
Presented by Patrick Ferry, Assistant State Manager, Victoria, National Archives of Australia.
