SUMMARY:Rescheduled: GSV members Flagstaff Gardens History Tour and Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Genealogical Society of Victoria members-only Flagstaff Gardens History Tour and Lunch. This event was originally planned for Thursday 22nd of September but\, when that day became the National Day of Mourning for Queen Elizabeth II\, the event was rescheduled for Friday 18th of November.\nThe Genealogical Society of Victoria is organising a guided walking tour of historic Flagstaff gardens. The walk will begin and end at the RHSV’s home in the Drill Hall\, opposite Flagstaff Gardens at 239 A’Beckett Street\, Melbourne. \nThe walk commences at 10:30am\, followed by lunch on your return\, approx 12noon until 1pm. The walk will take place whatever the weather so please dress appropriately (comfortable shoes\, wet weather gear if necessary\, some water etc). The walk takes place on graded walking paths and is not strenuous or long but you will be walking to the top of the hill in the gardens and you will be on your feet for a little over an hour. \nThe walking tour will climb Flagstaff Hill to consider its place in Melbourne’s topography and pre-European history as well as its early role as a burial ground\, flagstaff signalling station and magnetic and meteorological observatory. An absolute “must do” walk for understanding the history and character of Melbourne city. \nGSV members are more than welcome to spend the day at the RHSV using the GSV collection or the RHSV collection (if you are interested in doing research we suggest that you contact Jillian Hiscock\, our Collections Manager on collections@historyvictoria.org.au beforehand so that she can have your material ready for you). \nGSV members will also be able to enjoy the current free exhibition\, Kaleidoscope\, which celebrates the splendid women who have helped shape the RHSV over its long 113 year history. \nPlease record any dietary restrictions when you book your tickets. \nPlease contact our office if you have any questions: office@historyvictoria.org.au or 03 9326 9288

SUMMARY:Soldier Settlement Schemes seminar via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Soldier Settlement Schemes seminar via Zoom\nA joint presentation with the Genealogical Society of Victoria and the RHSV. \nWe are delighted that Dr Charles Fahey has agreed to deliver this seminar on Soldier Settlement Schemes \nThe Soldier Settlement Schemes encompassed thousands of  World War One returned soldiers who occupied  farming land on conditional purchase leases across Victoria between 1919 and the 1960s. If you are researching family or Australian history this talk will help you understand the individual experience of a soldier settler\, as well as the historical context of the Victorian Soldier Settlement Scheme. The talk will make special use of files from the parishes of Wagant and Kulwin to illustrate the information and stories to be found in vast archive left by the settlers. \nDr Charles Fahey joined Latrobe University in 1990 after briefly teaching history at the University of Tasmania in Launceston. He taught history at La Trobe University\, in Bendigo\, Melbourne and Shepparton  until his retirement in 2018. His research explores Australian Labor\, rural and mining history. He is the author of many Victorian rural histories and articles (a list of articles can be found here). Before becoming an academic\, he was employed as a historian with the Victorian Government\, where he worked on the conservation of historic sites on Crown land and the history of Victorian forestry. The unit Charles worked with was also responsible for transferring the vast archive of Solder Settler files to PROV. \nThis is a free Zoom presentation. Please register below and the Zoom log-in details will be sent to you 24 hours before the event. \n  \n \n(Photo courtesy of Public Record Office Victoria)

SUMMARY:PIONEER REGISTER SEMINAR
DESCRIPTION:PIONEER REGISTER SEMINAR\nIn partnership with the Genealogical Society of Victoria\, the RHSV is holding a free Zoom seminar on one of the jewels in its crown – the Pioneer Register. This will be of great interest to those interested in family history or wanting to know more about this unique collection and how it can help your research. Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager will be delivering the seminar. \nThe RHSV has collected and maintained a register of early colonists in the state of Victoria which is of great historical value. It contains more than 2200 forms. \nIn 1909 the Historical Society of Victoria (becoming the Royal Historical Society of Victoria in 1952) was formed by people determined to capture the history of the state of Victoria. This was to be achieved by creating the ‘Register of early colonists who arrived in Victoria before 21st November 1856′\, that captured information about early Victorians. Later this register was broadened to become the ‘Historical Register of Persons Who arrived or were born in Victoria before 1900\, and/or their descendants’. \nPeople were invited to fill in the forms of their relatives and associates in order to capture information about individual colonists as well as their familial relationships. \nInformation requested in the registers included: full name; date and place of birth; name of the parents and their residences; date of arrival in Victoria and name of ship; places of residences in Victoria and with dates; public offices held; literary work\, publications\, inventions or other work of public benefit; date and place of marriage; name of wife in full\, with parents names and place of residence; names of children; portrait if available; signature and relationship of the information provider. \nAlthough not requested\, many people sent in multiple photographs and longer letters outlining their family’s history. An RHSV volunteer\, Val Rohde\, has been working on the Pioneer Register catalogue for over 2 years. Val is enriching the catalogue by linking the Pioneer Register records to other appropriate manuscripts\, maps\, images and books in the RHSV Collection ensuring that researchers can maximise the value of the Register. \nJillian Hiscock has been the Collections Manager at the Royal Historical Society for over 3 years. She qualified as a librarian at Melbourne University after doing a Bachelor of Arts at La Trobe University. She has had a career working in public and special libraries\, and managing government department libraries and intranets. She ran the Department of Transport library which supported Heritage Victoria and the Planning portfolio\, this in role particular has given her relevant experience in managing collections that span manuscripts\, ephemera\, books\, images and non-print materials. \nThis free seminar will be offered via Zoom – details will be sent out 24 hours prior to the event. \nThe seminar will be offered on Thursday 14th October at 11am – 12noon and repeated that evening from 7pm – 8pm. \nPlease register your interest in either of the sessions below \n  \nThis is a History Month Event: click on the logo for the full program of events
