Norman James Brian PlomleyAM (born 6 November 1912 – 8 April 1994) regarded by some as one of the most respected and scholarly of Australian historians[1][2] and, until his death, in Launceston, the doyen of Tasmanian Aboriginal scholarship.[3]
Plomley was conservative by temperament and a traditional state historian.[4] He established the Plomley Foundation at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston, where he had worked as its director from 1946 to 1950. He donated his collection of books, maps and papers to that museum on his death.
