SUMMARY:A Monumental Egyptian Tomb In Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Hidden within a suburban Melbourne cemetery lies a remarkable piece of Egyptian-inspired architecture: the tomb of David Syme\, one of the world’s first media tycoons and the influential proprietor of The Age newspaper. Built in 1910—12 years before the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb—this heritage-listed mausoleum is a miniature replica of Trajan’s Kiosk on Philae Island in Egypt. Designed by renowned architects Walter Richmond Butler and Royston Bradshaw\, and adorned with copper fittings crafted by artist Mabel Young\, the tomb is a masterpiece of Arts and Crafts design. \nIn this captivating talk\, artist-turned-researcher Setken delves into the fascinating history of the Syme tomb\, uncovering its architectural brilliance\, cultural significance\, and the mysterious stories surrounding its creation. From the influence of Egyptology and Theosophy to the role of the Victorian Spiritualist Union and Syme’s connection with Prime Minister Alfred Deakin\, Setken reveals how this extraordinary monument reflects Melbourne’s lost history. The presentation also highlights the urgent need for restoration and addresses the curious case of misattributed authorship that nearly erased Butler and Bradshaw’s legacy. \nFeaturing unpublished research\, stunning visuals\, and compelling storytelling\, this talk is a journey into Melbourne’s hidden past and the life of a complex man whose tomb stands as a testament to an era of spiritual exploration and artistic innovation.

SUMMARY:The Convent
DESCRIPTION:Have you visited the Abbotsford Convent before? It is a beautiful place\, its history\, architecture\, artistry\, and food make it a must visit.  The Abbotsford Convent was a haunted place\, left to languish for years after the last of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd had gone. In its prime it had been a school\, a refuge\, a retreat\, a workhouse and a prison – the single largest charitable institution in the southern hemisphere. In the late 1990s a proposed high-density development threatened the idyllic riverside location\, sparking outrage in the local community and further afield. \nYears of protesting\, negotiating and fundraising followed and the convent\, now on Australia’s National Heritage List\, has started a new life as a vibrant centre for art and culture. The Convent: A City Finds its Heart  written by Stuart Kells tells the story of the site’s rich history and the efforts to preserve it. It is an uplifting tale of community activism – a tangible reminder that the magic of the past can endure and what people-power can achieve. \nJoin us at the PMI Victorian History Library for a night of historical storytelling\, that you wont want to miss.

SUMMARY:How to Record a Painful History
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a not-to-be-missed discussion on recording and sharing the truths of a colonial past. Aunty Fay Stewart-Muir and Marguerita Stephens will share their experience of collaborating across cultures to create their ground-breaking work “Years of Terror: Banbu-deen: Kulin & Colonists at Port Phillip 1835-1851.” \nWhy did Billibellary and other Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung clansmen and women parley with Batman on the banks of the Merri Creek in June 1835?  And what befell the clans in the decade and a half that followed that fateful encounter with Britain’s Empire? Based primarily on the daily journal of Assistant Protector William Thomas\, this work meticulously documents the lives\, and deaths\, of those who struggled to hold their Country.

SUMMARY:The World of Mab Grimwade
DESCRIPTION:Born into a genteel family of pastoralists and investors in colonial Victoria\, Mabel Louise Kelly (1887–1973)\, or ‘Mab’ to those who knew her\, would grow up to make an enormous contribution to Victoria and Australia. Most evidently\, it was made through bequests to the University of Melbourne and through the donation to the university of a large\, diverse and highly valuable collection of books and artworks. Mab Kelly married Russell Grimwade—chemist\, botanist\, industrialist and philanthropist—in 1909\, and much of her life from that point was publicly defined by her husband’s narrative. While Russell Grimwade left a large private collection including autobiographical papers\, letters\, and miscellanea that could be accessed by his biographer\, Mab preserved very little in the way of personal papers. How do we recover the lives of women who left little documentation? How do we piece together their stories and cultural impact? Using Mab Grimwade as a case study\, this talk addresses some of the methodological problems faced by historians writing biographies of women.
