RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
A history of the early years (1935-1939) of the Biological Club in Hobart, Tasmania, is presented, describing briefly the titles and content of some of the talks given in those formative years. The genesis of the Club is put into the broader context of the development of science in Tasmania during that period. The question of why women were not included in the membership in the Club at that time is explored.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
