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:Fatal Contact: Introduced epidemics among Australia’s Colonial Australian First Nations
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV is delighted that Peter Dowling has accepted our invitation to speak on this very topical issue. \nThis talk explores the devastating infectious diseases introduced into the Indigenous populations of Australia after the arrival of the British colonists in 1788. Epidemics of smallpox\, tuberculosis\, influenza\, measles and sexually transmitted diseases swept through the indigenous populations of the continent well into the twentieth century. \nMany historians have acknowledged that introduced diseases caused much sickness and mortality and were part of the extreme population decline following colonisation. But few writers have elaborated further and much of this history is still missing\, even after more than 200 years. Most accounts begin with the 1789 smallpox epidemic at the Sydney settlement and go no further. Our knowledge and understanding of the biological and social consequences surrounding the meeting and contact of these two cultures has not yet been fully investigated. It was\, and still is\, the greatest human tragedy that Australia has ever experienced. \nPeter Dowling is the author of Fatal Contact. How Epidemics Nearly Wiped Out Australia’s First Peoples\, (Monash University Publishing\, 2021).He holds a PhD in archaeology and biological anthropology from the Australian National University. Dr Dowling has written and lectured on Australian history\, archaeology\, Indigenous and European biological contact history and Australian cultural heritage assessment. He dabbles in military history and has organised and led local\, national\, and overseas tours in history\, archaeology and heritage. In a previous life Dr Dowling spent twenty years in signals intelligence with the Royal Australian Navy. He now lives quietly but busily in retirement with his wife and visiting bird families in the Tuggeranong Valley of Canberra. \nLike all RHSV lectures\, this event will be offered both in person at the RHSV’s Drill Hall home at 239 A’Beckett St\, Melbourne and via ZOOM. \nFor those attending in person\, refreshments will be served from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture starts. The Zoom coverage will start at 6pm too. \nAll those who register will be sent an automatic confirmation email of your ticket purchase – if you don’t receive this please check your Spam or Junk Mail folders. The ZOOM details will be sent to those attending via ZOOM 24 hours before the lecture.
