The Royal Society of New South Wales Medal
The Society's Medal was the first initiative of the Society to recognise its members' contributions, deriving in concept from the Society's Money Prize of 1882. It was awarded for published papers from 1884 to 1896, was then discontinued, and revived in 1943 as an award for a member of the Society who had made meritorious contributions to the advancement of science, including administration and organisation of scientific endeavour and for services to the Society.
