The Alan Villiers Memorial Lecture (AVML) was established by the Society for Nautical Research, the Naval Review, and the Britannia Naval Research Association (BNRA) in 2010 to honour the memory of the author, adventurer, naval officer, photographer and Master Mariner, Captain Alan Villiers. The lecture takes place at a college of the University of Oxford early in Michaelmas Term each year. The series is now run exclusively by the BNRA, running within the Oxford Naval Symposium at St Anne's College.
