Nancy Florence Keesing (1923–1993), writer, was born on 7 September 1923 at Darling Point. In 1951 she began work with the Sydney magazine the Bulletin.
Keesing was one of eleven writers and academics appointed to the Australian Council board; she chaired it from 1974 to 1977. Throughout her life, Keesing continued to write and edit, publishing twenty-six books in a range of genres.
A bequest left to the ASA was used to establish the Keesing Press. Mark Hertzberg donated funds to the State Library of New South Wales for an annual Nancy Keesing Fellowship, which supports research using the library’s resources into any aspect of Australian life and culture.
