SUMMARY:Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network: Presentation on 2024 International Congress on Maritime Museums Conference
DESCRIPTION:Jackie Watts will deliver an informal presentation on her short paper\, entitled: “Capturing the past to inform the future”\, and a discussion on issues arising from the 2024 International Congress on Maritime Museums conference. Worldwide\, it seems that\, regardless of assets\, infrastructure or funding\, many museums are dealing with emerging issues and struggling for relevance. The 2024 Conference of the ICMM\, held in Netherlands and Belgium\, has just ended and Jackie Watts\, inaugural Chair of the Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network Board\, was a speaker at the conference\, delivering  the above paper. \nThe evening will start with MMHN’s brief AGM followed by Jackie’s presentation. Refreshments will then be served. \nClick to read the full program of the 2024 conference \n\n\nJackie Watts holds a Doctorate in Education (RMIT)\, postgraduate qualifications in Teaching & Librarianship (University of Melbourne) and a Bachelor of Arts (La Trobe University). Her areas of professional expertise include secondary & tertiary education\, librarianship\, research\, vocational education and training (VET)\, professional development\, commerce and community activism. Jackie served on  Melbourne City Council  between 2011 – 2020\, and in 2012 became the first Chair of the Knowledge City Portfolio and Deputy Chair of the People City Portfolio holding these positions until leaving Council in 2020. These portfolios represented the most significant economic and socially progressive areas of work on Council. Jackie also represented Council with the Bay Municipalities Association of Victoria and is currently a Board member of Offshore and Specialist Ships Australia(OSSA). She has a keen and abiding interest in heritage recognition\, preservation and celebration\, and in particular\, maritime heritage. \n\n\n\nMelbourne Maritime Heritage Network (MMHN) is a non-political\, not-for-profit\, member-based ‘umbrella’ organisation (i.e. a Network) that brings together individuals and stakeholder groups from marine\, maritime heritage\, education\, tourism\, corporate and community sectors\, all of which share a commitment to fostering greater recognition of\, and knowledge about\, Melbourne’s rich maritime heritage and maritime industry sector – past\, present and future. MMHN is a catalyst to advocate for the better management of maritime matters. It seeks to sharpen the focus on the richness of Melbourne’s maritime heritage and the crucial role of its port facilities in delivering social\, cultural and economic benefits to Melbourne and regional Victoria. \n\n\n\n A History Month event.

SUMMARY:Make no mistake - Bridges really matter!
DESCRIPTION:  \nA seminar from the Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network \nBridges should be acknowledged as critical maritime infrastructure – enabling\, connecting or in some cases thwarting! \nHistorically bridges have brought significant economic and social benefit to Melbourne – but not always!  For example\, the poorly conceived yet dominant Bolte Bridge effectively curtailed Melbourne’s maritime engagement for the Antarctic ships. It also limited the access of tall ships to Victoria Harbour. Further\, as port operations expand\, the design inadequacies of the Bolte Bridge continue to challenge access to our waterways. \nMelbourne has a plethora of bridges over the lower reaches of the Yarra. City of Melbourne local history librarian Fiona Campbell will present on one of the most neglected bridges – Spencer Street Bridge. It is a tale of a dependable 1930 structure with a backstory of political infighting\, pioneering technology and the discovery of an obstacle which pre-dates the bridge by several millennia. Fiona Campbell will lead us through a visual journey through the design\, construction and significance of this enduring bridge. \nFrom this seminar\, we can better reflect upon the ‘value’ of more recent bridges and contentious plans for others.\nRSVP:        13 May 2022\, Email  admin@mmhn.org.au \n

SUMMARY:Port Phillip Bay: Looking out\, Looking in - Aboriginal and Colonial Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network seminar. The MMHN Board faces the year with a sense of optimism in announcing the first event in our 2021 Program.\nThe Kulin Nation’s presence over millennia around Port Phillip Bay\, the Birrarung/Yarra corridor\, its waterways\, swamps and creeks\, was clearly a primary formative element in the maritime heritage we share today. The MMHN is curating this event to acknowledge the genesis of this shared maritime heritage which is little understood and a source of wonder. It is particularly topical at this time of the year (i.e.\, post Australia/Invasion Day) as we all reflect on our shared heritage.\nOur Panel explores the context when such sightings changed the known world of each group\, forever. Hence the title Looking out\, Looking in (‘out’ from the shores and ‘in’ from ships)\, Aboriginal and Colonial Perspectives. \nWhen: 22 February 2021                    Time: 5.30pm – 7.30pm\nWhere: Theatrette\, Library at The Dock\, Docklands.\nDirections: Library at the Dock is located at 107 Victoria Harbour Promenade\, Docklands\, easily accessible via Tram routes 11\, 35\, 48\, 70 and 75. The theatrette is located on the first floor.\nOur Panel:   \n\nHans Bokelund\, Director of Aboriginal Melbourne\, City of Melbourne\nDr Richard Broome\, President of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria\nValentina Bydanova\, multidisciplinary curator and arts educator\n\nDue to COVID-19\, numbers are limited.
