The Trustees of the Dunedin Public Libraries Heritage Foundation cordially invite you to join the Downie Stewart Law firm in celebrating the digitisation of biographies and portraits of NZ high court judges. Collected by William Downie Stewart and his sister Mary Downie Stewart, these items provide a valuable record of NZ’s legal history.

The venue for this event will be the Dunningham Suite, 4th floor, Dunedin City Library, on Thursday, 19 November 2026 from 5:30 pm with remarks beginning at 6 pm. Light refreshments will add to the celebratory nature of the occasion.

We hope you can join us to acknowledge this generous addition to the Library’s already notable Collections.
