The AAADA sees itself not only as the peak body representing Australia's top dealers, but also one with a responsibility to help ordinary collectors gain knowledge in their chosen field.

For some years, Sydney AAADA members have been sharing their expertise with the public in their Spring Seminar series. The seminars are held every Thursday evening on a specialist topic at a dealer's premises. This way collectors can uniquely learn by handling often rare pieces at close quarters; they get to know the dealer, ask questions and are encouraged to bring in pieces for discussion in a friendly and comfortable setting.

For several years Anne Harbers has opened her splendid Victorian mansion in Warrawee, on Sydney’s North Shore for a silver study day. A small group of around 15 to 18 participants enjoys a fascinating day with a varied menu of topics mixed with regular features. This year the study day will be held on Thursday 16th September, from 9.30 am to 4.15 pm. Study Day presenter and silver consultant, Jolyon Warwick James, will talk on “Hidden Treasures”, covering less well publicised and known collections of silver in Australian museums and galleries. This time it will be the silver in the fascinating Johnston collection in Melbourne. He will also chair an open discussion on silver asking how far one should go restoring and repairing. This leads onto practical home advice on cleaning, preserving (and enjoying) silver. Guest lecturer, and founder of the Silver Society of Australia, Brian Eggleton, gives an insight into aspects of Australian history as seen through items of silver which he will bring along. Host Anne Harbers tackles Klein Zilver, the Dutch love of their miniature figurines and household items. Amongst other things she reveals what you can do with a “snuifdozen”! There is the usual identification and discussion session of items brought along by participants. Lunch and Tea are served on the veranda and provide excellent opportunities to exchange ideas and views. Each participant receives a folder with material relating to the days proceedings and other useful silver information.
