| Additional Information | The Royal Blind Society of New South Wales was started in 1879 as the Sydney Industrial Blind Institution, evolving into the RBS in 1952. It existed as a separate entity until it was merged with other organizations to become Vision Australia, a national non-profit provider of services for the blind or low-vision impaired. The “2/-“ on the button represents 2 shillings, a form of currency in use in Australia until conversion to a decimal system in 1966. |
