List compiled by Lenore Frost

The State Library of Victoria holds a copy of the Seventh Annual Report of
the Melbourne Ladies' Benevolent Society, for the year ending 14th August
1852.

The report states that the Society was established in Melbourne in August
1845. The objects of the Society were to relieve the wants of the poor,
particularly female, by supplying them with clothes, food and necessaries,
and primary attention was to be given to the sick and to poor women in their
confinements.
