SUMMARY:History Matters Series: Women of Ballarat 1838-1851
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year’s International Women’s Day as Sovereign Hill Museums Association explores this year’s theme\, Count Her In\, and look to the past to explore pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere. \nWhen gold was discovered in Victoria in 1851 women flocked to the Ballarat goldfields to try their hands at a new life and to find prosperity. But women had been part of the Ballarat region for much longer\, First Nations women for generations. PhD candidate Sharni Brownbridge will share with us the stories of some the women living in the Ballarat area from 1838 and in the first wild days after gold discovery and show how they acted as key members of these societies\, acting as farm workers\, gold fossickers\, business owners and creators of social connection.

SUMMARY:Needlework on the Diggings and Extravagance\, Tradition and Power: Governor Latrobe's Uniform
DESCRIPTION:Join Sovereign Hill Museums Association for a special Weston Bate Memorial Lecture on colonial fashion and needlework with researchers\, Dr Lorinda Cramer and Megan Anderson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘I find my sewing powers of great advantage here’: Needlework on the diggings \nGuest speaker: Dr Lorinda Cramer \nIn 1856\, Maggie Hoey wrote to her sister in Scotland: ‘I find my sewing powers of great advantage here’. By ‘here’\, Maggie was referring to her new home on the Victorian goldfields. By her ‘sewing powers’\, she meant her skills in needlework that ranged from making and mending clothing to furnishing her tent. This lecture will explore the ‘great advantage’ of women’s and men’s sewing on the diggings: how it made them comfortable by clothing and housing them\, but how it also helped assert their place in the tumultuous gold-rush society. It will draw on diaries\, letters and memoirs written on the diggings\, on the illustrations and photographs that richly captured those experiences\, and on the rare surviving examples of needlework now preserved in museum collections. It will show just how important sewing could be to transform daily life. \nDr Lorinda Cramer is a postdoctoral researcher at the Australian Catholic University\, where she is currently working on the ARC Discovery project Men’s Dress in Twentieth-Century Australia: Masculinity\, Fashion\, Social Change. Her research into dress\, fashion and textile history is underpinned by material culture and inspired by her work for more than a decade as a museum curator and collection manager. Her PhD\, completed in 2015\, explored the lives of Victoria’s female gold-rush migrants through their needlework: from the clothes they sewed for themselves and their families to the textile goods they made for their homes and the relentless demands of mending and darning. \nThis research was published by Bloomsbury in 2020 as Needlework and Women’s Identity in Colonial Australia and has recently been released in paperback. \nDr Cramer’s research will be presented alongside Sovereign Hill’s former Costume Production Assistant\, Megan Anderson’s research on Lieutenant-Governor Charles LaTrobe. \nExtravagance\, Tradition and Power: Governor Latrobe’s Uniform \nGuest speaker: Megan Anderson \nMegan’s project will explore the significance\, history\, tradition and symbolism encompassed in the uniform of Lieutenant–Governor Charles La Trobe. Within the garment industry\, tailoring is extensively revered as the highest standard of garment construction\, with the highest quality achieved. Ceremonial uniforms\, including that of Lieutenant-Governor\, are from an even higher echelon – every element of this uniform was designed to impress\, emphasise and enhance the wearer in both status and stature. As holder of the highest office in the new colony of Victoria\, a distinguished uniform to solidify that position was absolutely necessary for La Trobe. The outcome of Megan’s research will include an impeccably tailored suit with accents of gold and silver. \nThis is a COVIDSafe event and will be held under the current government guidelines. Visitors 16 years of age and over must show their COVID-19 vaccination status as a condition of entry. This requirement will extend to visitors aged 12 and over once phase D of the roadmap is reached (indicatively 24 November). \n\nBOOK TICKETS HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/weston-bate-memorial-lecture-tickets-168363695345
