SUMMARY:KALEIDOSCOPE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is biography imagined through the lens of a Kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative. Each time the kaleidoscope turns\, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing\, new reflections\, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all. \nin 2021\, during Women’s History Month we launched the RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary\, an online resource which builds profiles of women who have been involved in the RHSV over its 113 year history. This project is the work of Dr Cheryl Griffin and from this online resource\, Cheryl has curated Kaleidoscope\, launched in March 2022 by Judi Maddigan\, which looks at the lives of 50 of those important women. \nCURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN\nEXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL\nEXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT\nThe exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

SUMMARY:The Emperor Gold Mine\, Fiji\, by Lee Spencer
DESCRIPTION:An invitation from The Australasian Mining History Association to join in their next ZOOM talk. \n\nThe Emperor Gold Mine\, Fiji: Mines on and off since 1932 and continues to show the colour of gold\, remaining one of the world long continuous mining areas. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Emperor Gold Mine in Fiji is one of the worlds largest epithermal gold deposits with an active operational history extending over 80 years and thus one of the worlds longest lived gold mines. \nThe Mine was discovered by prospectors who undertook arduous exploration over a number of years culminating in the discovery of payable gold in 1932. There followed Australian venture capitalists\, a stock market boom for Fijian gold stocks with the inevitable crash and subsequent development into one of the worlds premier gold mines. \nChallenges had to be overcome before this lofty point was achieved\, these included the unique geology\, telluride metallurgy and an untrained work force all within a country emerging from their colonial past. The Emperor Gold Mine is now undergoing a revival with new shareholders and investment in ageing infrastructure against a backdrop of robust gold prices and increasing mining reserves. \n\n\n\n\nYou can pass this onto friends and associates who may have an interest in mining history. \nIf you have any information\, photos\, artefacts or an association with the Emperor Gold Mine you will have the opportunity to present your association in the Q&A session. \nPlease register if you want to talk in the Q&A to ensure you will have a turn. \nTO REGISTER YOUR ATTENDANCE\nThe event is promoted internationally through this Eventbrite link: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-emperor-gold-mine-fiji-tickets-388992255307 \nJoin Zoom meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85474250625?pwd=Y1FnTXJMZDcwSzNLTGkvRzYxWE1idz09 \nMeeting ID: 854 7425 0625 \nPasscode: 527069 \n  \nPS: The 26th AMHA Conference will be held face-to-face in Burra\, South Australia from 18-25 September 2022 \nFor more information\, visit the AMHA website

SUMMARY:Eltham Historical Society meeting: Photographs of John Henry (Harry) Clark
DESCRIPTION:A prominent photographer in the early days of Eltham was John Henry (Harry) Clark. At the regular Eltham & District Historical Society meeting in August they will explore some selected Clark images from the collection and\, with some\, try to show the current locations where the photographs were taken. \nAs always\, Society members and visitors are most welcome to attend this meeting\, to be held in the Eltham Senior Citizens’ Centre\, Library Place\, Eltham. \n  \nFrom the Eltham & District Historical Society Newsletter \nJ.H.Clark – photographer by Peter Pidgeon\nJohn Henry (Harry) Clark born 1877 was the youngest of three boys born to William Henry Clark (1823-1877) and Maria White (1843-1914). Following William’s death that same year\, Maria formed a relationship with Robert Conley who took on her young family and another son\, Robert Conley Jnr\, was born 1880. Maria and Robert married in 1885. \nJohn and his brothers\, William Charles Clark (1872-1945)\, Clement Kent Clark (1874-1912) operated a photography business (Clark Bros.) from 25 Thomas Street\, Windsor near Prahran during the period c.1894 to 1914.\nFollowing the death of Clement in September 1912 and their mother in 1914\, the Clark Bros business appears to have dissolved\, the premises demolished with a new house under construction by 1915. \nJohn appears to have set up business independently in 1914 operating from 29 Moor Street\, Fitzroy where he was registered in the 1914 and 1915 Electoral Rolls. By 1916 John had relocated to Eltham where he continued as a photographer and took many of the early images around the district of Little Eltham. It is understood he boarded with widow Mrs Thekla Jarrold with whom he may have taken rooms during earlier visits since 1910. \nAround 1930 John changed professions from Photographer to Bootmaker. He became well regarded as a leather worker of expertise who also crafted horse harnesses. He opened a small bootmaker’s shop built by Thekla Jarrold on her property\, near the pond at the bottom of the hill. \nJohn never married and continued his profession as a bootmaker from this little shop\, maintaining a close relationship with Thekla until her death in 1943. His bootmaker’s shop remains today beside the White Cloud cottage and is one of only three remaining shops in the Little Eltham area from the early 20th century.
