About the Seymour Biography Lecture
The annual lecture, with associated activities, including seminars and workshops, was hosted by the Biography Institute at the Humanities Research Centre between 2005–2009.
In 2010, the Lecture moved to the National Library of Australia as part of the Seymours’ ongoing sponsorship and support program. The Seymour's also sponsor a Summer Scholarship in Biography at the National Library for young postgraduate students.
