Through the lens of artists and writers\, the exhibition explores how life has flourished on the river\, including recreation\, industry and land use\, as well as infrastructure\, natural history and social history. \nDespite much despoiling\, our river remains the vital artery of the city and beyond to the Yarra Ranges. Just as it was the fulcrum of Wurundjeri life\, it continues to inspire and fulfil our lives. From the Heidelberg School to the MCG\, the river has been a centre of Australian arts and culture for decades. \nJudith Buckrich has published a book\, of the same name\, which is the first comprehensive illustrated history of the Yarra Birrarung from before European settlement to the present day\, a 200 year story\, examined through the lives of its creatives. \nDr Judith Buckrich was born in Budapest\, Hungary in 1950 and emigrated to Melbourne in 1958. She has several entries in the Encyclopedia of Melbourne and Remembering Melbourne 1850–1960. Her book The Village of Ripponlea won a Victorian Community History Award in 2016 and Acland Street: the Grand Lady of St Kilda won the 2018 Fellowship of Australian Writers (VIC) Award for non-fiction. She has also published with Melbourne Books before\, releasing The Long and Perilous Journey: A History of Port Melbourne in 2002. At present\, she is working on an illustrated history of Fitzroy North. \nJudith has written her own one-woman shows\, short stories\, feature articles and essays and worked as a curator\, editor and translator.

Most of these historical societies\, as well as being a member of the RHSV\, belong to local networks of historical societies. These local networks are usually geographically based and are vitally important in sharing information\, sharing challenges and providing key support.  In our turn\, the RHSV wants to support not just individual historical societies but also the networks that link them. \nSo\, the RHSV is delighted to host our second Network Leaders day – an opportunity for leaders and representatives of these diverse historical society networks throughout Victoria to come together and connect. \nPlease note that this event will not be Zoomed as a key aim is for leaders to meet with their peers from across Victoria and then\, when they return home\, to share their findings with their member societies. \nCOST \nAll attendees receive full-day refreshments and lunch \n\nFREE for qualifying attendees who are both:\n\na Network Leader (and up to additional 2 network members) who\, on returning home\, is willing to share their new knowledge with their network AND\nis an RHSV member OR a member of an RHSV-affiliated historical society\n\n\n$20 for network members who are neither an RHSV member nor a member of an RHSV-affiliated historical society.\n\nTRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT \n\nAvailable for long-distance travellers who are both representing a historical society network AND are a member of the RHSV or of an affiliated member society of the RHSV.

Why is it important that they do? We would generally agree that most societies are facing increasing challenges\, from a dwindling volunteer workforce to limited funds\, to the challenges and costs of technology\, to changing expectations from our communities and dwindling membership numbers.Are historical societies more than collection depots for unwanted family heirlooms\, and how do we ensure their survival?Why do we need to work together and what are the advantages and challenges of networking in this context?This presentation aims to challenge our current way of working and pose some questions on how we not only survive but move forward. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 10.00-10.45am\n \n \n \n \n \n Robyn Vincin \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presentation 2: Responses to challenges: what some Networks are doing and could do\n \n \n \n \n \n Historical Society Networks have often existed for decades with leadership and membership changing constantly. Networks are in the position of understanding the challenges faced by their member groups; geography can provide a Network with common perspectives but also with additional challenges. This presentation considers some of the initiatives Networks have adopted over many years and others they might consider embracing in orderto value add to their member groups’ work and engagement with other potential stakeholders. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 10.45-11.30am\n \n \n \n \n \n Graham Goulding OAM\,Craige Proctor \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Short break\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 11.30-11.45pm\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Short presentation: How the Federation of Australian Historical Societies can help Network Leaders\n \n \n \n \n \n Few network leaders know about the Federation of Australian Historical Societies. Established in 1977\, its constituents come from each state and territory\, and it is a national body representing approximately 1\,000 historical societies and 100\,000 members. This brief presentation outlines its work and why Network leaders should become subscribers\, ‘free’. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 11.45-12.00pm\n \n \n \n \n \n Dr Rosalie TrioloOAM FRHSV \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presentation 3: Attracting young people to local history\, now and into the future\n \n \n \n \n \n Many historical societies have primary school groups visit them\, or have representatives take objects into schools. But there are approaches outside school hours for helping young people see and value the history around them. While some encounters might seem ‘fleeting’\, today’s young historians will more likely care ‘long-term’ for their local history–and the society that hosts much of it. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 12.00-12.30pm\n \n \n \n \n \n Dr Rosalie Triolo OAM FRHSV \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lunch break\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 12.30-1.30pm\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presentation 4: Working 'good way' with First Nations stakeholders\n \n \n \n \n \n Australian history is a highly contested space where the tensions between uncovering the truth and the discomfort this often brings are often experienced as points of contention. At the heart of this tension is the violence of the colonisation and genocide in Australia. One of the responses to this discomfort has been an effort to erase First Nations histories from the national narrative and in the 1960s this was described as the Great Australian Silence. One of the key strategies to uncover erased histories is being able to effectively engage with First Nations stakeholders. This presentation will focus on the importance of building relationships with First Nations stakeholders and how to navigate these complex spaces to maintain cultural responsiveness and safety for all partners. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1.30-2.15pm\n \n \n \n \n \n Dr Aleryk Fricker \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Forum: Cultivating hope: empowering historical societies for the future\n \n \n \n \n \n Rosemary Cameron and Craige Proctor will lead this forum looking at strategies to make historical societies relevant and resilient.

He forged a close relationship with La Trobe over the coming years even though La Trobe was distinctly non-military. While neither had direct command of the ‘garrison’\, which reported to HQ in Sydney\, the soldiers had an important role in providing the ultimate\, mostly symbolic\, Imperial underpinning of La Trobe’s authority. \nA Mounted Police detachment\, although made up of soldiers on attachment from their regiments\, did come under control of the Police Magistrate. \nThis presentation will describe the life and times of the Redcoats and the Mounted Police\, and provide (good\, bad and ugly) context to their presence in the District of Port Phillip until Separation in 1850. \n  \nPresented by Dr Andrew Kilsby.\nAndrew is a professional historian and published author. His focus is military\, business and biographical history. A graduate of RMC Duntroon he holds a PhD from UNSW at ADFA. A founder of Military History and Heritage Victoria Inc. in 2010\, Andrew has also written numerous articles\, convened and presented in military history conferences and arranged exhibitions\, including two at the RHSV. His business publications have also achieved two RHSV Community History Award commendations. As the 2024-25 Fellow of the La Trobe Society\, Andrew is investigating ‘La Trobe\, Law and Order 1839-1854’. \n  \nAbout AGL Shaw lectures\nAlan George Lewers Shaw AO\, FAHA\, FASSA\, FRAHS\, FRHSV (1916 – 2012) was an RHSV Councillor from 1965 to 1971 and President from 1987 to 1991.

In this lecture Dr Jones will take a number of case studies highlighted in his latest publication Dhoombak Goobgoowana and ask what this work has accomplished and whether it encourages a radical re-thinking of the role of institutional histories. Along the way he hopes to explain the strong connections between an eighteenth-century cockney pedestrian\, a leading twentieth-century Australian psychologist\, Indigenous knowledge and Hugh Anderson’s historical project. \n  \nDr Ross L Jones BA (hons) Dip.Ed. (Melbourne) M.Ed.Stud. PhD (Monash)\, Senior Research Fellow in the Indigenous History of the University of Melbourne Project in the Centre for the Study of Higher Education in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne. The outcome of this project is the recent publication of\, Dhoombak Goobgoowana: a History of Indigenous Australia and the University of Melbourne\, volume one: Truth (eds Ross L. Jones\, James Waghorne and Marcia Langton) Melbourne University Press: Carlton\, 2024. Volume 2 ‘Voice’ will be published in 2025. A free e-book is available from the MUP website here. \nRoss studied in the History School and Education Faculty at the University of Melbourne and then taught for two decades in secondary schools in Australia and the United Kingdom. He then completed a Master of Educational Studies and a PhD at Monash University\, the latter on the eugenics movement in Victoria. \nAfter teaching the histories of medicine and biology in the Department of the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Melbourne\, he took up an ARC postdoctoral position in the History School at the University of Sydney which culminated in\, amongst other publications\, Anatomists of Empire: Race\, Evolution and the Discovery of Human Biology (2020). In 2016 he was awarded the Redmond Barry Fellowship at the State Library of Victoria to write on the history of tuberculosis. He has held honorary positions at the University of Melbourne\, the University of Sydney and La Trobe University variously in Medicine\, Law and History departments. Ross’s research interests and publications range across medical and educational eugenics in Australia and the US and UK; the history of human anatomy\, anthropology and race theory; the development of public education; medical biography and public health policies. He was commissioned by the Melbourne Medical School to write Humanity’s Mirror: 150 years of Anatomy in Melbourne (2007). He has given numerous keynote and invited presentations at local and international conferences. Ross has also been regularly involved in all forms of media as a public historian\, on screen and as a researcher\, including for Who do you think you are? on SBS. He has 90\,000 readers for articles in The Conversation and has been invited to talk for local and national radio on many occasions. He has also prepared and participated in documentaries for ABC Radio National. \n  \nHugh Anderson (1927-2017) was a scholar of formidable breadth\, productivity and versatility. While it is as a folklorist that he is arguably best known both in Australia and abroad\, Anderson’s prolific output also included biography\, bibliography\, history\, school textbooks and documentary collections. His range of interests was very wide: Anderson seemed as comfortable in writing about John Pascoe Fawkner as Squizzy Taylor\, as at home with an Aboriginal gumleaf player and a Sydney street poet as with the exquisite verse of John Shaw Neilson or the stately poetry of Bernard O’Dowd. Anderson’s historical and biographical writing incorporated many of the materials\, perspectives and insights derived from folklore studies\, and he treated literary creativity as central to telling the Melbourne\, Victorian and Australian stories. Anderson’s boundary-riding between history\, biography\, folklore and literature was remarkably productive for him\, and it was not unusual among writers with his radical-nationalist politics in the middle decades of the twentieth century. (An edited version of material written by Professor Frank Bongiorno) \n  \nThis event is offered both in person at the RHSV and also via ZOOM. Those who are attending by ZOOM will be sent their log-in details 24 hours prior to the event. \nAs with all RHSV events\, we serve refreshments from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture will start. 6pm is also when the ZOOM broadcast will start.

This event will not be Zoomed as a key aim is for leaders to meet with peers from across Victoria and then to share their findings with their member societies. \nCOST: \nThe event is FREE to each leader + one-two other network members who are prepared to share their experiences and knowledge with their network afterwards AND as long as they or their historical society is a member of the RHSV. We understand that not all organisations which are members of these networks are members of the RHSV however\, because we are a member-supported organisation we can only extend the free tickets and travel reimbursement to those attending who are both representing a historical society network AND that they are a member of the RHSV or of an affiliated member society of the RHSV. \nFor those who aren’t members there is a small fee ($20) to cover catering. \nIncludes all-day refreshments and lunch.TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT: \nFor long-distance travel and the accompanying accommodation some reimbursement by the RHSV will be available if your network cannot help support you. \nReimbursement can be up to $50 in total if the attendee resides 50-150kms from Melbourne and up to $150 in total if the attendee resides beyond 150kms. \nAn expense claim can be completed below. Please submit your reimbursement request AFTER the event. Once again\, we can only financially assist those attendees who are both representing a historical society network AND that they are a member of the RHSV or of an affiliated member society of the RHSV. \n  \nENQUIRIES \nBookings close on Friday 19 July. \nEnquiries: HSSC Chair\, Dr Rosalie Triolo FRHSV hssc@historyvictoria.org.au \nBOOKINGS \nbelow on this website page. \nFor emergencies on day: 03 9326 9288 or office@historyvictoria.org.au \n  \nFRIDAY 26 JULY PROGRAM\n  \nEach session invites questions and sharing of success stories\, especially solutions to shared challenges \n9:00am                          REGISTRATION tea/coffee and ‘introducing yourself to others’ activity on arrival \n9:45–10.00am             PROGRAM STARTAcknowledgement of Country and welcome: RHSV PresidentEmeritus Professor Richard Broome\, AM\, FAHA\, FRHSV\, FFAHSWelcome\, aims of the day and housekeeping: HSSC Chair Rosalie Triolo \n10.00–10:45am           PRESENTATION 1: Helen Laffin and Rosalie Triolo\, ‘Building capacity: Attracting and keeping community interest’ \n10:45–11:30am            PRESENTATION 2: Graham Goulding OAM\, ‘Going for grants: Helpful hints’ \n11:30am–11:45am      MORNING TEA \n  \n11:45am–12:30pm      PRESENTATION 3: Craige Proctor\, ‘Requiem for the Newsletter?Does the newsletter still have a role for historical societies in the social media world?’ \n12:30–1:30pm               LUNCH and mingling/networking \n1:30–2:15pm                  PRESENTATION 4: Rosemary Cameron\, ‘Creating engaging events’ \n2:15–3.00pm                 FORUM DISCUSSION: Participants and speakers take earlier discussions further or raise new topics for discussion by all \n3.00-3.15pm                 ROUND UP AND CLOSE: Rosalie Triolo \n  \nABSTRACTS and SPEAKERS\nBuilding capacity: Attracting and keeping community interest – Helen Laffin & Rosalie TrioloHelen will share practical knowledge from her experiences in the heritage sector in relation to generating and keeping the interest of community members. Volunteers are crucial to successful operations but planning and a positive attitude are essential. \nRosalie will offer further strategies for attracting visitors\, members\, volunteers and leaders of diverse skillsets and cultural backgrounds. ‘Bigger picture’ thinking is necessary; only then will the stories of peoples past and present in our communities have greater chance of being understood and cared for into the future. \nHelen holds a Master of Cultural Heritage\, Deakin University\, and is currently Heritage Collections Co-ordinator at the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. She is also part of the City of Whitehorse Arts and Culture team which oversees Schwerkolt Cottage Museum Complex and the Whitehorse Artspace. She has a strong interest in local history and collection management and has worked as staff or volunteer at many small and large collections in Melbourne including Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West\, CERES Community Environment Park archives\, and Coburg Historical Society. \nRosalie has enjoyed over 40 years in History education\, including multiple\, long-term\, volunteer Victorian and national association leadership\, advocacy\, presentation and publication roles for which she has received many awards; has worked in general public\, as well as tertiary\, secondary and primary education History contexts; has taught Australian history in diverse Victorian government schools; and facilitated the development of specialist teachers of History for 25 years at Monash University. \nGoing for Grants: Helpful Hints – Graham Goulding \nPreparing grant applications can be daunting and difficult but those few words should not deter anyone from making applications. This session will provide the helpful hints that can make a difference and will focus on what has been learnt in over forty years of writing grant applications for many organisations. \nGraham is a retired teacher who has been applying for grants since the 1980s\, beginning with grants to support his work in education. In retirement\, he has been writing for Gippsland Immigration Park in Morwell (since 2005)\, the Walhalla Board of Management which looks after government properties in Walhalla (2009-21) and the Moe & District Historical Society (since 2001). The total funds obtained exceeds $250\,000. \n‘Requiem for the Newsletter? Does the newsletter still have a role for historical societies in the social media world?’ – Craige ProctorMany societies continue to produce regular newsletters as well as maintain an online presence to engage with members; other groups have retired the newsletter. How do and should these media differ? This presentation considers the relative merits of each and asks if the traditional newsletter still has a role. Do the digital natives among our communities expect something different these days? In migrating to online engagement\, are we at risk of losing something? \nCraige produced the Mortlake & District Historical Society’s newsletter for 14 years. Since 2022\, he has produced the Western Victorian Association of Historical Societies newsletter\, receiving and reading a great many newsletters from western Victorian societies. Craige made his first foray into managing Facebook pages for historical bodies in 2011 and presented for RHSV\, 2014-17\, on how societies might engage with their communities via social media. He supported several groups in developing their online presence. \nCreating Engaging Events – Rosemary Cameron \nRosemary will give a very practical talk with templates of timelines\, simple budgets and to-do lists. She will take participants through workshopping ideas to keep events fresh and engaging with advice on how to ramp up events from a simple talk to a conference. She will cover value-adding and making sure organisers always work within their own resources. \nRosemary has spent most of her career in theatre and literary festival management which is effectively event management. For several years she ran Tour Guides Australia\, so she also understands how to create good tours. She organises a variety of RHSV events. She is the former director of the Melbourne Writers Festival which had some 400+ events over 10 days (2005–09) and the Brisbane Writers Festival (2003-05). \n  \nNETWORKS OF HISTORICAL SOCIETIES \nThis is a list of the networks of historical societies which we know exist across Victoria. There may be more. And there may be people interested in setting up networks for areas not currently covered.

May\, Helen Stitt which will be launched on 3rd October 2024. \nWe all have our favourite Melbourne laneway and curator David Thompson has chosen a handful of lanes which reveal intriguing Melbourne stories.

When we think of today’s gussied-up tourist-friendly laneways like Guilford Lane and Hosier Lane\, it is hard to imagine that a mere 50 years ago the laneways were workaday places full still of small factories and light industry. And earlier still there was the desperation of Little Lon. Today we get just glimpses of those rough and ready laneways that serviced the city and a frisson as the mouths of some still grimy and squalid laneways beckon us deeper in. \nThis exhibition has grown out of the RHSV’s latest publication which is an updated version of  historian Weston Bate’s Essential but Unplanned: Melbourne’s Laneways which came out 30 years ago in 1994. The new laneways book will be launched in a few months. \nJulian O’Shea is a popular online creator with millions of views across YouTube\, Instagram and TikTok. You might have seen him on your For You Page standing in front of a strange piece of urban infrastructure. Julian recently won the 2023 Victorian Community History Award for best Digital Storytelling Award. Julian has performed at Melbourne Fringe and various comedy storytelling events including SciFight Comedy Debate\, and has been a comedy writer for Mad Magazine. He is a regular guest on ABC Radio Melbourne with Charlie Pickering and recently shared stories of the city with Julia Zemiro on Great Australian Walks. His work has been featured in The Age\, Herald Sun\, 3AW and the ABC.

The exhibition grew out of the research Liz had done for her book\, Garryowen Unmasked: The Life of Edmund Finn\, which was launched earlier this year and was aided by her deep knowledge of the RHSV collection and its treasures. \nThe tour will be followed by afternoon tea.\nEdmund Finn (1819-98)\, Irish immigrant\, journalist\, raconteur and eyewitness to the development of the Port Phillip District\, is best known as ‘Garryowen’\, author of The Chronicles of Early Melbourne 1835-1852. His lively writing\, essential to any appreciation of pre-separation Victoria\, brings to life this often-neglected period and place. Yet little has been written about the man himself\, his actions or attitudes\, or the influences that shaped him. \nFinn’s exposure to troubled times in Ireland during his youth was a major influence on his later politics and world view. Migrating to Melbourne in 1841\, this well-educated man lived for more than fifty years in colonial Melbourne\, passionate about his religion\, actively engaged with his community while never forgetting the home he had left behind. This book explores the life of this talented man and the ways in which he contributed to the creation of a new society in Melbourne through his writing\, his speeches and his leadership of the St Patrick’s Society. \n“An important chronicler of early Melbourne\, the Irish journalist Edmund Finn has been unjustly neglected. A detailed study of his life and work is overdue\, and therefore Dr Rushen’s book is to be welcomed.” Professor Elizabeth Malcolm\, FASSA\, FRHistS\, University of Melbourne \n  URL:https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/event/curators-tour-of-garryowens-melbourne-with-dr-liz-rushen-4/ LOCATION:RHSV Gallery Downstairs\, 239 A'Beckett St\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, 3000\, Australia CATEGORIES:What's On ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Garryowen-landscape-tile.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Royal Historical Society of Victoria":MAILTO:office@historyvictoria.org.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20240222T110000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20240222T120000 DTSTAMP:20260425T002313 CREATED:20221207T014636Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240215T001452Z UID:10000832-1708599600-1708603200@www.historyvictoria.org.au SUMMARY:CATALOGUING CLINICS 2024 DESCRIPTION:Join Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, each month in this informative and easy-going Zoom forum on all aspects of cataloguing collections for historical societies. \nIn 2024’s first Cataloguing Clinic for the year\, Jillian will talk about collection management\, what you keep or don’t keep\, when you catalogue material as an archive or a collection and any issues around the actual collection. \nJillian has a different topic each month and is happy to be guided by those who attend as to what they would like covered in upcoming clinics.

The view from here: thinking about Australian Indigenous histories and their future. DESCRIPTION:We are honoured that Professor Lynette Russell AM will deliver the 2024 Billibellary Indigenous History Lecture at the RHSV. \nLynette describes the genesis of her lecture\, “Years ago one of my son’s friends assured me that my passion for Australian history was a fool’s errand. ‘Nothing ever happened here\, no wars\, no famines\, no empires\, nothing\, just nothing’. These views he had formed in part at home but also\, notably\, at school. After reviewing the texts they were reading\, I had to concede that Australian history\, as it was being taught\, might well be construed as boring. Even in the late 1990s\, the most popular textbooks were outdated\, divided into a chapter or two on pre-European history\, and then wandered through Cook’s ‘discovery’\, the first fleet\, the rum rebellion\, and the rise of squatters\, bushrangers\, depressions both great and not-so\, Federation\, railways\, wheat\, and wool. There was a clear division between Indigenous and non-Indigenous histories; Australian history was celebrated\, heroic\, masculinist and very\, very white. Indigenous or Aboriginal history was to be covered quickly and contained primarily to pre-European times. Subtly\, things are changing. There is a new generation of school teachers using new resources\, both hard copy and digital. What might we imagine the landscape will look like as we contemplate the future of Indigenous history?” \nProfessor Lynette Russell AM FASSA FAHA (Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor and ARC Kathleen Fitzpatrick Laureate Professor at Monash University’s Indigenous Studies Centre) is an award-winning historian and Indigenous studies scholar. Her research is broadly anthropological history. Russell has published widely in the areas of theory\, Indigenous histories\, post-colonialism and representations of race\, museum studies and popular culture. \nRussell’s Aboriginal ancestors were born on the lands of the Wotjobaluk people\, and she is descended from convicts on the other side of her family; she is rather uniquely placed as an historian. All of her work is deeply interdisciplinary and collaborative. Russell has collaborated with scholars in archaeology\, anthropology and environmental studies\, and worked in various Aboriginal organisations. She holds or has held positions on committees and reference groups pertaining to Melbourne Museum\, the State Library of Victoria and the Collections Council of Australia as well as being a former president of the Australian Historical Association. She is an elected member of AIATSIS and\, in 2023\, she was elected an International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences . She is the only Australian scholar to be elected to both the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Anthropological Institute\, both in London. In addition\, she has held two fellowships at Cambridge University and one at All Souls at Oxford University. Russell believes fervently that every undergraduate should undertake Indigenous studies as an essential part of the curriculum and her passions are community outreach and the dissemination of knowledge\, social justice\, and the Essendon Football Club.
