Invitation to a talk by Margaret Reynolds “The Royal Derwent Hospital at New Norfolk”
Many Tasmanians have links to this hospital but few want to talk about their experience of the
state’s only mental institution. Some people worked there and some had family in treatment
briefly or for many years. A large number of children with disabilities grew up there and some
recall abusive treatment.
Time: Thursday, 1 May 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM
Venue: Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts, Ground floor, 91 Murray St (LINC Tasmania)
Jointly Sponsored by the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office and the
Professional Historians Association (Tasmania)
