SUMMARY:Returning our Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:Bookings for this event have been cancelled at the current time due to the ongoing restrictions of COVID-19. We may be rescheduling later in the year. We will keep our members informed as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds. \nRepatriation of Aboriginal Ancestral Remains is guided by a commitment to return the Ancestors to rest on Country by all involved. \n\nIn this partnership event between the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council we will be screening the documentary\, Returning Our Ancestors\, which will be followed by a discussion with Bonnie Chew\, Councillor of the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council and our President\, Richard Broome. \n\n\n\n\n\n“As part of the process of colonisation\, Aboriginal peoples’ burial places were desecrated in the name of curiosity\, science and research. Aboriginal Ancestors were stolen from their land where they had been placed with care and ceremony\, to be housed in metal boxes as specimens or ornaments of curiosity by individuals\, families and institutions. \nThe 1980’s saw Aboriginal Ancestors start to return to rest on Country. But the journey is by no means complete and there are many more of our Ancestors still to come home. We can all walk together and help in this essential work.” \nReturning our Ancestors is a documentary\, four years in the making\, which shares some of this difficult but healing journey. Produced by the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council\, with the contribution of stories from Victorian Traditional Owners and others. Returning our Ancestors is unlike any film on this topic: current\, relevant\, intimate\, emotional and extraordinary. It is a call to action\, to help Traditional Owners return their Ancestors to Country. The project raises awareness of the sensitivities around connection to Country\, the importance of reporting and returning Ancestors and the reasons Ancestors are not in the custodianship of their Traditional Owners. \nReturning our Ancestors shows us what we can do as a Victorian community to work together for the rightful and respectful return and protection of Aboriginal Ancestors\, now and into the future. \nAs with all RHSV events\, we provide refreshments from 5:15pm till just before 6pm when we move upstairs for the screening and conversation.  \n\nBonnie Chew is a proud Wadawurrung (Wathaurung) woman with many years’ experience in Aboriginal Cultural Heritage and Education. \nBonnie regularly gives lectures promoting cultural heritage management and has sound knowledge of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. In April 2012\, she had the opportunity to be a representative for Ballarat at the World Historical Cities Conference in Vietnam\, where she was able to share her knowledge and network with people of many other nations on a range of heritage issues. \nRecently\, Bonnie held the role of Cultural Heritage Coordinator for a Registered Aboriginal Party (Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation). In that role\, Bonnie worked closely with the community\, archaeologists\, developers\, anthropologists\, ecologists and government authorities\, on approximately 126 projects to achieve the best outcomes regarding the preservation of cultural heritage on her traditional Country. \nRichard Broome is one of Australia’s leading historians. While he has written on a wide range of subjects\, ‘it is his work on Indigenous history with its emphasis on Aboriginal agency and capacity for negotiation and self-empowerment that has been most influential. His book Aboriginal Australians: A History Since 1788\, first published in 1982\, is now in its 5th fully revised edition and has sold over 60\,000 copies in that time. It is the most widely read work in this field. He has also written Aboriginal Victorians: A History since 1800\, published in 2005 and the most comprehensive account available of Aboriginal history since white settlement in this state. \nHis history of the Victorian Aborigines Advancement League\, Fighting Hard\, was published in 2015 to document the fight against policies of assimilation and the struggle for civil rights. In the clarity and accessibility of his writing\, his great capacity for story-telling and his meticulous research\, Richard has opened up the history of Aboriginal Australians to a much wider public readership than academic historians.’ \n\nOur affiliated historical societies are encouraged to host their own screenings of this important documentary\, Returning our Ancestors\, for their members and friends. It is\, no doubt\, very pertinent to some historical societies which hold Ancestral Remains in their collections.  \nThe Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council wants as many Victorians to see the documentary as possible so they can be aware of the issues and challenges the documentary raises. The film is relevant to your communities\, to people in your area\, to the Traditional Owners of Country in your region and should be seen\, discussed and shared as widely as possible so action can be taken. The invitation is for you to run an event\, and for Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council to support it\, but also to keep the call to action ‘alive’ through other events and communications you undertake during 2020 and beyond. The call to action and communication about the message should exist and grow beyond one event or one screening of the documentary.

SUMMARY:Law\, Lawyers and La Trobe
DESCRIPTION:Due to the COVID-19 restrictions we have regretfully decided to postpone this event and our other large events in April. We hope to reschedule later in the year.\nThose who have already booked will receive a full refund.\nIn 2020 we are delighted to announce that the A G L Shaw lecturer will be leading legal history scholar\, Dr Simon Smith AM FRHSV\, who recently published Solicitors and the Law Institute in Victoria 1835-2019: Pathway to a Respected Profession.  \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. He is also a Benefactor of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria. He was President of the C J La Trobe Society as well and the two organisations\, the C J La Trobe Society and the RHSV\, have jointly presented the annual A G L Shaw lecture since 2002 as a tribute to a great historian. \n\n\n\n\nSimon Smith is an Adjunct Professor with the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre at Victoria University. He was Vice-President of the RHSV in 2009-2011. In 2016 he edited Judging for the People: A Social History of the Supreme Court in Victoria 1841-2016. \nHis other recent published works include Barristers Solicitors Pettifoggers: Profiles in Australian Colonial Legal History (2014) and Maverick Litigants: A History of Vexatious Litigants in Australia 1930-2008 (2009). \nAs a Monash University law undergraduate in the 1970s\, Simon helped establish Australia’s first community legal centre\, the Springvale Legal Service. In that context he was a founding editor of a leading practice text\, the Lawyers Practice Manual (Vic). After completing his legal training in Oxford\, he was admitted to practice in 1975. In 1978 he became the first full-time clinical legal education academic in Australia\, based at Springvale. \nThrough that clinical programme\, for a decade\, he helped introduce Monash undergraduates to the practice of law in a supervised poverty law setting. Over 40 years of that programme\, the power of ‘first impressions’ on those future practitioners has contributed to the better practice of law in Australia. \nIn the 1980s\, Simon was a pioneer in alternative dispute resolution and was the first Ombudsman in the Australian financial services sector. In 1991 he helped establish the Society of Consumer Affairs Professionals in Business (SOCAP). He was President in 1996. Later he was Senior Counsel with a top-500 insurance company and a curator of the nationally significant insurance archive\, the Suncorp Insurance Archive\, now in the hands of the State Library of Victoria. \nSimon holds the degrees of B Juris. LL M and PhD from Monash University. In the 2019 Australia Day honours he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to the law particularly in consumer affairs\, to higher education\, and to history.

SUMMARY:What the Little Bird didn't tell me
DESCRIPTION:Due to the COVID-19 restrictions we have regretfully decided to postpone this event and our other large events in April. We hope to reschedule later in the year.\nThose who have already booked will receive a full refund.\nTwenty years ago I wrote a book that documented a journey I had been on for over a decade. The book was A Little Bird Told: Family Secrets\, Necessary Lives. This book represented a journey of discovery where I located my Aboriginal ancestors and answered a number of questions that had dogged my family for generations. Along the way\, I discovered a story of secrets and lies\, of madness\, and refuge.  In this talk\, I will reflect on this book nearly 20 years later with a focus on the importance of women as the keepers and tellers of family stories. In so doing I will consider the reasons why I wrote the book\, what impact it had at the time and its ongoing influence. I hope that these reflections might have something to say to other family historians. I want to question whether there are there some family secrets and necessary lies that should never be told? \nProfessor Lynette Russell AM is an award-winning historian and Indigenous studies scholar. In 2020 she is taking up an Australian Research Council’s Laureate Fellowship to examine Global Encounters and First Nations People: 1000 Years of Australian History. \n

SUMMARY:Jack Wetherly under the microscope
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to present a talk by Catherine Gill who has been volunteering at the RHSV. Catherine writes\, \n“As part of my recently completed Masters in Cultural Materials Conservation\, I was given opportunity to study the portrait of Jack Wetherly.  The original artwork was painted in 1840 by Thomas Napier.  Records at the RHSV state that the painting in its collection is a copy of the original artwork and was possibly painted by Thomas Clark. \n“With consent from the RHSV I was able to undertake a research study on the painting of Jack Wetherly for my thesis.  The focus was to conduct scientific analysis of the materials used by the artist in order to assist with the creation of a conservation plan to treat the painting.  Another purpose of the study was to gather knowledge that this portrait holds about Jack Wetherly and the history surrounding him to accompany the portrait.  The talk will focus on the two areas of the research findings as well as the process undertaken to conserve the portrait. \nAbout the painting  \nThomas Napier migrated to Hobart with his companion from England the builder John Brown (later of Como\, Victoria).  During his time in Hobart ‘he saw the surviving members of the Big River Tribe being brought into Hobart Town by George Augustus Robinson en route to Flinders Island’ (Trove\, 2019).  The Barber Chronicles (1979\, p. 60) state that ‘By permission of the authorities he was enabled to paint on canvas several portraits of the Natives\, including one of the chiefs called Manalangana which is now housed at the Melbourne Savage Club.’  The portrait Alphonse\, the Tasmanian retitled A Tasmanian Aboriginal is housed at Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. Another painting of Woureddy and Trukanini is held in a private collection. \n“Napier migrated to Melbourne soon after these portraits were done and was amongst the first people to purchase land at the first land sale. After about 18 months\, he established a cattle station near Dandenong and it is likely he met the Boonwurrung man Jack Wetherly.  After a year he returned to Melbourne and this is probably when the portrait was painted. \n“Information about Jack Wetherly was found in the journals of William Thomas who was appointed as one of four assistant protectors under the Port Phillip Protectorate (1839-1849).  Thomas was responsible for the western Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung clans.  Part of the role of the protectors was to record interactions with the Aboriginal people under their assigned care.  As a result of this\, Thomas created journals that documented names and activities and the places to which the Aboriginal people travelled.  We learn from these records some information about Wetherly’s journeys from the protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula to Melbourne and Dandenong and some of the events that happened in his life during the period he was under the watch of William Thomas. \n“Before commencing my masters\, I worked as a Visual Art teacher for many years.  I currently work part-time at the University of Melbourne coordinating the Arts West Gallery Space and continue to volunteer at RHSV.” \nAttendees are more than welcome to eat their lunch whilst listening to Catherine and we’ll have tea / coffee available from 12noon onwards.  \nAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are warned that the event will exhibit images of deceased persons.  \nImage credit: \nThomas Napier (copy) Jack Wetherly a Victorian Native\, 1840\, oil on canvas\, 79.7 x 66.9 cm (unframed)\, Melbourne\, Royal Historical Society of Victoria

SUMMARY:Lecture. Farming the Mallee: Visions and Realities 1890-present
DESCRIPTION:We are honoured that our last major lecture for 2019 will be delivered by Professor Katie Holmes\, Director\, Centre for the Study of the Inland and co-author of the soon-to-be-published Mallee Country: Land\, People\, History together with Richard Broome\, Charles Fahey and Andrea Gaynor. \nIn the early 1890s the Victorian Mallee was seen as a ‘howling wilderness’ covered in ‘dismal scrub’. As surveyors began to subdivide the large pastoral stations into 320 acre blocks\, the Mallee boosters envisaged an area as a vast granary of golden fields and 5000 acres wheat farms. The subsequent 130 years would see the vision of extensive wheat farms become a reality but the process of transformation came at significant personal and environmental cost. \nThis talk will explore the cycles of drought and abundance\, hope and despair that have characterised Mallee farming; the impacts of social\, economic\, technological and environmental change on farming practice; and some of the challenges ahead for Mallee communities. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Geraldine Moore on key events in the life of George Higinbotham
DESCRIPTION:George Higinbotham was a highly influential politician in colonial Victoria. One of his contemporaries described him as a man of ‘dash and daring’ who ‘won from privilege and class ground that they have never since been able to recover.’ Even today debate rages about his character and his legacy. Some see him as a visionary who fought for responsible government free of Colonial Office interference and obstruction by an undemocratically elected Legislative Council. Others see him as a flawed character whose legacy was turmoil.\nAs a journalist with the Melbourne Herald\, Higinbotham influenced the course of events as agitation mounted on the goldfields and culminated in the battle at Eureka. A year afterwards\, in the storm that erupted following Governor Hotham’s claim to unconstitutional powers\, he led a press campaign of opposition. Later\, as Attorney General of Victoria\, his daring leadership of the Legislative Assembly’s struggle against the Legislative Council led to constitutional crises in 1865 and 1867. And as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court\, his public donation to the strike fund during the Great Maritime Strike of 1892 created controversy\, even outrage. Despite humiliations and defeats\, he championed democracy and the public interest as he saw it. \n\nPrior to the lecture\, the RHSV serves drinks from 5:15pm until 5:45pm in the Gallery Downstairs when we move upstairs for the 6pm lecture. Please note that there is no lift to the first floor and it is not accessible for those in wheelchairs or for those who have difficulty in climbing stairs. \nGeraldine’s book will be available for  sale on the night.

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Wreck of the Fiji
DESCRIPTION:With the prospect of landfall in Melbourne just a day’s sail away\, the sight of the Otway Lighthouse beacon must have been comforting for the 26 crew of the barque Fiji. \n\n\n\n\nIt had been 106 challenging days at sea since the British-built vessel had set sail from Hamburg on May 22\, 1891\, its cargo a disparate collection of goods including 260 cases of dynamite\, crates of schnapps\, whisky and gin\, 400 German pianos\, toys\, iron and steel goods and candles. \n\n\n\n\nFor captain William Vickers and his international crew\, putting down anchor in Melbourne couldn’t come quick enough. \n\n\n\n\nTragically\, nearly half of them never lived to see Melbourne. \n\n\n\n\nWithin 24 hours\, on September 6\, 1891\, one kilometre east of Moonlight Head on the aptly named Wreck Beach\, the Fiji came to grief. \n\nHistorian and author\, Alan McLean will tell us all he has uncovered about the wreck of the Fiji. There will also be an supporting exhibition in the Cabinet of Curiosities\, curated by Cheryl Griffin\, of items recovered from the wreck by Heritage Victoria and items from the RHSV Collection. \n\nThe RHSV serves drinks from 5:15pm until 5:45pm in the Gallery Downstairs when we move upstairs for the 6pm lecture. Please note that there is no lift to the first floor and it is not accessible for those in wheelchairs or for those who have difficulty in climbing stairs. \nAlan’s book will be available for  sale on the night.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Engineering History: a mini-conference
DESCRIPTION:An afternoon mini-conference “Celebrating Engineering History” will be held on Thursday 15 August 2019\, from 1pm until 5pm\, at the Royal Historical Society of Victoria. The mini-conference is organised by Engineering Heritage Victoria in partnership with the RHSV. \nEngineering has been defined as being “a vital art\, working with the great sources of power in nature for the wealth and well-being of the whole of society”.  We often mistakenly think of engineering as being something that started when engineers became a separate profession\, but engineering dates back many thousands of years. \nVictoria has many outstanding world-leading engineering works\, but many of these achievements are not well documented or have been forgotten\, and need to be re-discovered and celebrated. \nThis year Budj Bim became the first indigenous cultural landscape in Australia to gain World Heritage recognition; it also marks the 150th anniversary of the Great Melbourne Telescope; and the 100th anniversary of the Electrification of Melbourne’s suburban railways; and the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Institution of Engineers\, Australia. \nThe four presentations focused around these significant engineering events will be: \n\nRe-discovering our ingenious indigenous heritage\nDave Johnston\, Director\, Aboriginal Archaeologists Australia. Board member ‘Aboriginal History Journal’.\n\nThe Great Melbourne Telescope: White Elephant or Engineering Marvel\nMatthew Churchward\, Senior Curator\, Engineering & Transport\, Museums Victoria.\n\nThe Electrification of Melbourne’s Suburban Railway Network – a world class achievement\nMiles Pierce\, Retired electric engineer\, Past-chair\, Engineering Heritage Victoria.\n\nThe Institution of Engineers\, Australia was formed in 1919\, but why didn’t Victorian engineers join?\nKen McInnes\, Retired civil engineer\, Honorary Research Fellow\, eScholarship Research Centre\, University of Melbourne.\n\nThe image used to illustrate this event is: \nEngraving of the Great Melbourne Telescope: an imaginary setting from an English newspaper\, 1869\nSource: Museum Victoria (SH 950104)

SUMMARY:ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: Cataloguing and digitisation workshop series.
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV is offering a series of 6 linked workshops which cover cataloguing and digitisation. This series of workshops starts with basic concepts and builds in complexity. \nWe have spaced the workshops so that participants have time in which to put into practice their new skills before the next workshop. \nSome participants will want to book for the full series of 6 workshops and others will want to choose those individual workshops that are most suitable for them. So\, although the series is designed as a cohesive whole\, the individual workshops also work as stand-alone training sessions. The first two workshops repeat ones we offered earlier in 2019. \nAll workshops are limited to 20 participants and will be lead by Sophie Shilling\, our digital expert. They are all to be held at the RHSV: Officers’ Mess Upstairs\, RHSV 239 A’Beckett St\, Melbourne. This room\, unfortunately\,  is only accessible by a staircase – there is no disabled access. \nModule 1: Computer cataloguing for absolute beginners\nFRIDAY 26 JULY 1PM – 4PM\nThis is a workshop for those who are new to computers\, and small organisations who do not have the resources to use cataloguing software. Using only Excel\, we will demonstrate how to create a simple catalogue that still complies with international standards.

SUMMARY:Victoria’s Earliest Potteries
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Gregory Hill\, a leading authority on both Australian Colonial Pottery and Australian Art Pottery\, will be delivering a lunch-time lecture on Victoria’s Earliest Potteries. \nThe lecture is based on Gregory’s latest book which resulted from seven years’ primary research and covers the period from colonization to 1875. The book provides an intriguing history on the founding and operation on Victoria’s first potteries. More than thirty pottery works are listed\, most of which were previously unknown. Their geographical sites have been found and many examples of what they made will be displayed. Gregory Hill has concentrated on their household wares and not the heavy industrial wares like pipes and tiles. The story behind our pioneering potters makes for fascinating reading. \nGregory will also be mounting a small exhibition of early Colonial Pottery in our Cabinet of Curiosities to accompany his lecture. \nGregory Hill’s interest in Australian pottery and decorative arts in general began with the clearance of his grandparents’ home in the early 1960s. As a young child he was intrigued by its rooms which had been closed for decades\, with their original interiors and masses of Victorian furniture and clutter. \nAs an adult he worked for ten years in the building industry and then taught for twenty years in technical schools. He has been an antique dealer for twenty eight years and a collector of Australian pottery for forty-four. \nCollecting stimulated detailed research and a program of interviewing potters which included artist potters\, employees in the commercial pottery industry and their descendants. It resulted in a huge accumulation of original research. \nHe drew on this research to compile extensive catalogues for several touring exhibitions including: The Potteries of Brunswick\, Gumnuts and Glazes: The Story of Premier Pottery Preston\, F.E. Cox – Enigmatic Art Potter\, Excellence of Ware: Bendigo Pottery Majolica /1879-1911 and Melrose Art Pottery /1931-1942.  Greg also curated these exhibitions and sourced the exhibits. \nToday he is recognized as a leading authority on both Australian Colonial Pottery and Australian Art Pottery. His most recent book\, Victoria’s Earliest Potteries is unprecedented in covering the first years of pottery manufacture in the colony of Victoria. \nGregory’s book\, Victoria’s Earliest Potteries\, will be for sale on the day.  \nRefreshments are served before all RHSV lectures.

SUMMARY:The Blackburns. Private Lives\, Public Ambition. A lecture by Caroline Rasmussen
DESCRIPTION:When socialist barrister and aspiring member of parliament Maurice Blackburn met Doris Hordern\, ardent feminist and campaign secretary to Vida Goldstein\, neither had marriage in their imagined futures. But they fell in love – with each other as much as with their individual aspirations to change the world for the better. Theirs would be an exacting partnership as they held one another to the highest ideals. They worked as elected members of parliaments and community activists\, influencing conscription laws\, benefits for working men and women\, atomic bomb tests\, civil rights and Indigenous recognition. Together\, they shook Australia. \n\n\n\n“Maurice and Doris Blackburn were major figures in the history of the Australian labour movement and feminist and Indigenous activism in this country. Maurice’s name lives on in the influential national law firm he founded\, but their many contributions to principled decency in Australian public life are now largely forgotten. They needed\, as Carolyn Rasmussen puts it\, to be “rescued from the footnotes”. In this meticulously comprehensive biography\, she has succeeded admirably in doing just that.”\nGARETH EVANS\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn Rasmussen completed post-graduate studies in labour history and the peace movement at the University of Melbourne where she is currently an Honorary Fellow. Her work as a public historian since 1985 has ranged over the history of Victorian public institutions\, the history of science and technology\, education history\, the involvement of women in all of the above\, and biography. In parallel with this work she has maintained a deep engagement with Victorian labour history. Her publications include Poor Man’s University: Seventy Five Years of Technical Education in Footscray; Vital Connections: Melbourne and its Board of Works 1891 to 1991 (with Tony Dingle); The Lesser Evil? Opposition to War and Fascism in Australia 1920-1941; A Place Apart\, The University of Melbourne: Decades of Challenge (with John Poynter); A Museum for the People: A history of Museum Victoria and its predecessors\, 1854-2000\, Increasing Momentum: Engineering at the University of Melbourne 1861-2004; Double Helix Double Joy: David Danks the Father of Clinical Genetics in Australia and ‘A Whole New World’ 100 years of Education at University High School. She is a member of the National Editorial Board of the Australian Dictionary of Biography and chair of the Victorian Working Party. Her most recent book is Shifting the Boundaries: The University of Melbourne 1975-2015. \n\n\n\n\n\nWine and cheese from 5pm. Lecture at 6pm.

SUMMARY:Dr Andrew Lemon on Treasures from the RHSV Collection.
DESCRIPTION:For Rare Book Week a lunch-time lecture. \nThe RHSV began assembling its library collection from the time of its inception in 1909 and it also incorporated\, in the 1920s\, the library of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia (Victoria) which formed in 1883. Former president of the RHSV and well-known professional historian\, Dr Andrew Lemon\, will speak on some of his favourite items and oddities from the collection which is the largest and richest collection of Victorian history outside those held by government bodies. \nThe Ephemera Society of Australia also has a Rare Book Week event in the RHSV’s Officers’ Mess Upstairs at 11am on the same day\, Monday 8 July. There is a break between the two events from 12noon – 12:30pm when we will serve morning tea. \nThis event is free but we’d appreciate patrons booking for catering and organisation pruposes. \nAlso note that whilst we have disabled access into the building we do not have disabled access to the Officers’ Mess Upstairs which does involve a flight of stairs from the ground floor to the first floor. \n

SUMMARY:Breakthrough!
DESCRIPTION:BREAKTHROUGH:\na sudden\, dramatic\, and important discovery or development.\n\nDo you know that euphoric feeling of discovery while in the depths of research? Or that wonderful moment of making a connection that no one had seen before?In this event historians will share stories of major breakthroughs or lightbulb moments they have experienced during their work or research. \nOur June lecture will follow a different format and is presented in partnership with the Professional Historians Australia (Vic & Tas) with Andrew Lemon (RHSV) and Alicia Cerreto (PHA) hosting the event.\n\nOur speakers include:\n\n\nGwyn McClelland’s PhD explored the lives of Catholic survivors of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki\, through oral histories. During his research\, as part of a Japan Studies Grant at the National Library of Australia\, Gwyn made vital discoveries in older literature\, that helped him bring together his research. \nRebecca Le Get has just completed her PhD on the environmental history of tuberculos sanatoria in Victoria\, and will show us a snapshot of the inside working of Greenvale Sanatorium in the 1910s\, and the archival research that made this possible.\n\nDeb Lee-Talbot is a PhD candidate\, exploring the archival materials of the London Missionary Society relating to Oceania. This archive\, despite having two catalogues and two guides still offers up surprises.\n\nNatasha Joyce is a PhD candidate examining the lives – and deaths – of Bendigo’s 19th century children of the goldrush. Last year she travelled to Edinburgh to examine an immigrant family’s collection of personal letters. Held at the National Library of Scotland\, the original letters revealed details and allowed insight into triumphs and sorrows not obvious in digital copies. \nNikita Vanderbyl has just passed her PhD on Wurundjeri artist and diplomat William Barak. She explores how his paintings ended up in European museums and will speak about the key concept that defined her argument.

SUMMARY:Waltzing Matilda: Australia's Accidental Anthem. A forensic history.
DESCRIPTION:This song that started as an accidental collaboration in outback Queensland in 1895 caused the death of a seven-year relationship and went on to inspire a nation during World War II\, following Banjo Paterson’s death in 1941. \nBenjamin Lindner is a criminal barrister with a long-standing fascination with the life and times of Waltzing Matilda which has culminated in Waltzing Matilda – Australia’s Accidental Anthem (with a foreword by Geoffrey Blainey). There\, he explores the how\, why\, when and where A.B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson collaborated with his fiancée’s friend\, Christina Macpherson – having only met her a matter of days before they spawned the song. \nCriminal barristers often declare that fact is more bizarre than fiction; the factual origins of Waltzing Matilda are no exception. In an effort to debunk ‘fake’ historical claims\, Benjamin takes a forensic approach\, laying bare the evidence\, and along the way he discovers some new twists to a story dating back to 1895. \nBenjamin Lindner appears regularly in criminal trials in the County and Supreme Courts\, and also in the Court of Appeal. He appeared in the Supreme Court for one of 12 accused in Victoria’s first trial involving terrorism offences. He has appeared in numerous trials in matters involving narcotics\, fraud\, offences of violence (including murder\, manslaughter)\, sexual offences and all indictable offences. \n\nDrinks: 5:15pm \nLecture: 6pm

SUMMARY:Vida Goldstein and Maud Wood Park
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV is delighted that distinguished historian\, Professor Marilyn Lake AO\, will deliver the RHSV’s inaugural Women’s History Lecture\, Vida Goldstein and Maud Wood Park: the political significance of Australian-American women’s friendships. \n\nMarilyn Lake\, D.Litt\, FAHA\, FASSA\, AO\nFormer President of the Australian Historical Association\nProfessorial Fellow\, University of Melbourne.\n\nAuthor\, most recently\, of Progressive New World: How Settler Colonialism and TransPacific Exchange Shaped American Reform\, Harvard University Press\, 2019. \nVida Goldstein first met American suffragist Maud Wood Park in Boston\, when on a lecturing tour following her attendance at the first International Woman Suffrage Conference\, in Washington DC\, in early 1902. Seven years later\, Park travelled to Melbourne\, where Goldstein\, president of the Women’s Political Association and editor of the Woman Voter\, introduced her to local women activists and future Prime Minister Andrew Fisher. Park came to Australia to investigate Australian women’s use of the vote post-suffrage. ‘The question is often asked\,’ she wrote\, “After woman suffrage what?” Sometimes the asker means what methods of organization will women employ; sometimes\, what ends will they seek; sometimes\, what results will they obtain’. After meeting party and non-party woman leaders\, in Melbourne and Sydney\, Park decided she had gained a ‘pretty definite idea of what women’s Causes”’ were. Convinced that an independent non-party stance was the best way forward for women in politics\, Park returned to the United States\, where\, following ten more years of relentless lobbying\, passage of the 19th Amendment was finally secured. \nIn 1920 Park became inaugural President of the non-party National League of Women Voters. \n \n\n\n\n\nDrinks 5:15pm\nLecture 6pm\nBooks will be available for sale and signing.

SUMMARY:2019 Augustus Wolskel Lecture
DESCRIPTION:We are honoured to launch our 2019 Distinguished Lecturer Series when The Hon Simon Molesworth AO QC delivers the 2019 RHSV Augustus Wolskel Lecture on Tuesday 19 February at 5:15pm \nCommencing with an overview of the history of the worldwide National Trust movement\, this lecture will explore the evolved and still evolving role of heritage conservation as a means by which the telling of history\, or at least the depiction of aspects of history\, is assisted by the presentation and utilisation of historic places.
