Continuing a lifetime of scholarship, courage and social impact.

Initial establishment goal

$10,000

Kay believed that the highest purpose of historical scholarship is not only to interpret the past, but to illuminate the present and help shape a better future.

• Working with partners including the Australian Historical Association and in discussion with The University of Queensland, we are establishing a lasting initiative in honour of Professor Kay Saunders AO.
• The legacy will be developed in partnership with leading institutions and may take the form of a medal, prize, scholarship, or memorial lecture.
• The initiative will recognise work that combines intellectual excellence with the capacity to enrich public understanding, inform public policy and contribute meaningfully to Australian society.

The Saunders family have made a founding contribution to the Fund and we are grateful for the generous pledges already received.
