Tribute: G W K (Ken) Cavill, 1922-2017, John Wade

Abstract:

The passing of Emeritus Professor Ken Cavill on 25 August 2017 at the age of 95 should not go unnoticed. Many newer members will not be familiar with Ken, who was the foremost researcher in the field of Australian silver and gold of the early 20th century, which he also collected. His articles appear in Australiana from 1984 to 2013, and in other publications. He served as Treasurer of the Australiana Society from 1987–91, then President 1991–94.
