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:Exploring Burke and Wills - Enigmas and Curiosities
DESCRIPTION:A talk by David Corke for Romsey & Lancefield Districts Historical Society\n \nOn 23 August 1860\, Burke & Wills and their party stayed overnight in Lancefield. \nOn 23 August 2022\, documentarian and historian of this journey\, David Corke\, will talk about his findings and his book\, Exploring Burke and Wills: Enigmas and Curiosities. \nThis book does not tell the story of the Burke and Wills Expedition; instead\, it explores several important issues in the very well-known saga —asking questions and probing some apparent enigmas\, curiosities\, and misunderstandings that have always been part of that tragedy.\nThis promises to be a fascinating afternoon about a much-discussed historical event\, and we are sure Members and Friends will enjoy it. \nCost of the event is $15.00 per person which includes refreshments. \nDavid Corke’s book will be on sale for $35.00. All enquiries to Beth Child on 0418 361 478. \nBook at Trybooking: https://www.trybooking.com/CBIPN

SUMMARY:Hugh Anderson\, historian
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Professor Frank Bongiorno will be delivering the inaugural RHSV Hugh Anderson Lecture\, a new addition to our Distinguished Lecturer series. \n“Hugh 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. This lecture will consider Anderson specifically as a historian and biographer. While it should not be pigeon-holed\, 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. I argue in this lecture for the significance of Anderson as a historian and biographer working outside academia and across a diverse cultural domain\, at a time when universities were moving toward a sharper focus on specialised research\, theory and discipline-based knowledge – in ways that both deepened and limited understandings of Australian history and culture.” \nFrank Bongiorno is Professor of History at the Australian National University where he was head from July 2018 to June 2021. Born in Nhill\, he grew up in Melbourne and is a graduate of the University of Melbourne and the Australian National University. Frank has been a lecturer at the ANU\, Griffith University\, the University of New England and King’s College London.  He has also been Smuts Visiting Fellow in Commonwealth Studies at the University of Cambridge. The author of The Sex Lives of Australians: A History (2012) and The Eighties: The Decade That Transformed Australia (2015)\, Frank is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia\, the Australian Academy of Humanities and the Royal Historical Society. He is a Member of the Order of Australia. \n \nProfessor Frank Bongiorno AM \nPlease note that when you buy a ticket to this event you will automatically be sent a confirmation email.
