The second meeting in the 2021-22 season of the Antiquaries is a talk by Dr Frances Dryburgh entitled 'Finding the Ladies - Women Donors to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum'. Due to the decision of the Society's committee to postpone holding conventional meetings until January 2022, it will be in the form of a live Zoom meeting at 7.30 pm. The link to join will be sent to members by the previous day, Wednesday 3rd November 2021.

Dr Dryburgh is a retired consultant biochemist who was head of the Biochemistry Department at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. For twenty years she attended various History of Art classes at Glasgow University and this led to guiding at Kelvingrove, foreign study tours and membership of Friends of Glasgow Museums. More recently, as a 'Friend', she has been researching the donors of paintings in the Glasgow Museums' collections, and this project forms the basis of her talk to the Society.
