Administrative history

The Royal Society of Victoria began in 1854 and was modelled on the Royal Society of London.

From the beginning their purpose was the promotion of science for the benefit of the community. It aimed to contribute to the advancement of science for the good of the Victorian community.

The Royal Society of Victoria had its origin in two independent societies, the Victorian Institute for the Advancement of Science and the Philosophical Society of Victoria, which were founded in 1854 and united in the following year as the Philosophical Institute of Victoria. The name was changed to The Royal Society of Victoria late in 1859 and the first meeting was held on 21 December that year.

The Society continues to focus on the promotion of science for the benefit of the community. Each year the Society runs a series of public lectures and scientific symposia across a wide range of sciences.
