Australian parliamentary delegation visits Clea Salavert Library

On 10 August 2011 a delegation of Australian Parliamentarians visited the Clea Salavert Library in Lalomanu, Samoa to see first-hand the facilities enabled by the generous donations of Academy Fellows and friends and colleagues of the Salavert family. The Academy is grateful to the Australian Government for their continuous encouragement and support of the Clea Salavert Library.

Fellows Shortlisted for Literary Awards

The Academy congratulates two of its Fellows, shortlisted for the Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards: historian Tim Bonyhady for Good Living Street: The Fortunes of My Viennese Family, and poet John Tranter for Starlight: 150 poems.

New Collaboration with Italy

The Academy has signed a new agreement with the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei which paves the way for a research exchange programme between the two countries.

On 8 June 2011 a memorandum of understanding was signed by Professor Joseph Lo Bianco, President of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and Professor Alberto Quadrio Curzio, Vice Presidente of the Lincei. We are very grateful to the Italian Embassy in Canberra for brokering this collaboration.
