SUMMARY:Emerging Historians: The element of surprise in historical research
DESCRIPTION:As part of History Month we partner with Professional Historians Association (Victoria & Tasmania) to host an event where three historians talk about a moment of amazing coincidence or serendipity in their research – it could be coming across a vital piece of information or finding just the right contact or network\, seemingly by chance. It is always a great night to hear from young historians who research a remarkably wide range of subjects. \nThe hosts for the evening are Andrew Lemon for the RHSV and Sophie Couchman for PHA. \n  \n \nSpeakers: \n\nKylie Andrews – Searching for the ABC’s ‘lost’ women producers\n\nWhat was it like to work at the ABC in the 1950s and 1960s? More specifically\, what was it like to work at the national broadcaster if one was an ambitious\, outspoken woman?  In this presentation Kylie Andrews will share some insights into what she discovered when writing her book\, ‘Trailblazing Women of Australian Public Broadcasting\, 1945-1975’. Drawing on voices from the past\, Kylie will discuss how certain methods proved vital in unearthing surprising evidence\, evidence that resuscitates women’s forgotten contributions to radio and television in Australia in the post-war decades.\nKylie Andrews is a consulting historian and researcher whose work spans a range of historical fields and formats. She writes about Australian media and communications and produces commissioned histories for corporate\, industry and philanthropic organisations. With a passion for studying media\, gender and production cultures through biography\, Kylie has recently written a women’s history of the ABC\, titled ‘Trailblazing Women of Australian Public Broadcasting\, 1945-1975’.\n\n\n\n \n\nNicole Davis – In Arcadia: Finding the Owners of Nineteenth-Century Arcades in Australia\n\nAlthough nineteenth-century arcades in Australia are often viewed as feminine spaces for women to gather and shop in comfort\, it is usually men that are identified as those who built and owned these buildings. However\, deeper investigation into a variety of archival records reveals that a number of these were the inspiration of or funded by women. At times their ownership is fully acknowledged in print media but\, more often\, their husbands\, relatives or other men are credited as the entrepreneurs inspired to build and who ran them. In this talk\, Nicole Davis will discuss some famous and some forgotten arcades in Australia\, the women that owned or ran them\, and the ways that archives can reveal unexpected stories of women’s involvement in business and property ownership.\nNicole Davis received her PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2023. Her research interests centre on urban history and heritage\, with a particular focus on Australian urban spaces and their connections to the wider world. She has a Masters in Museum Studies from the University of Sydney\, has worked as a curator in Sydney and Melbourne museums\, and has taught Heritage & Museum Studies at Masters Level. Nicole is a research assistant in School of Historical & Philosophical Studies\, part of a team working on the ARC LIEF\, Time Layered Cultural Map of Australia (LE230100079)\, and Research Fellow at Melbourne Graduate School of Education at University of Melbourne\, investigating the archiving and sharing of qualitative research data.\n\n\n\n \n\nMiranda Francis – Footscray High School creche – oral histories and archives.\n\nIn this presentation\, Miranda Francis will use the micro- history of the Footscray High School creche to illuminate women’s changing experience of work and family life in the 1970s. Comparing archival documents and oral history interviews she will reveal the complex interconnections between novel ideas and conservative resistance\, and local action and public policy.

She is in the final stages of a PhD thesis at La Trobe University (Mothers Remember: An Oral History) which uses oral history to explore how mothers in suburban Melbourne in the second half of the twentieth century remembered the emotions and experiences of motherhood. She has been an academic librarian for over twenty years\, in Melbourne (RMIT and Monash universities) and in Morocco (Al-Akhawayn University\, Ifrane). She has published widely in journals such as Provenance\, Oral History (UK)\, Victorian Historical Journal and Oral History Australia Journal and a book chapter in Feminist Perspectives on Young Mothers and Young Mothering.\n\n\n\n \nHousekeeping \nThis event will be hybrid – both delivered in person at the RHSV’s Drill Hall home and via Zoom. For those booking Zoom tickets\, the log-in details will be sent to you 24 hours prior to the event. \nFrom 5:30pm to 6pm\, as with most RHSV events\, we’ll be serving refreshments before the lecture starts at 6pm. \nAn automatic confirmation email is sent to you on booking – please check your Spam or Junk Mail in-box as these emails often go astray. \nThis is a History Month event

SUMMARY:Surrey Hills Historical Society: Dr Madonna Grehan
DESCRIPTION:Maternity Attendance in the County of Bourke\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, 1848-1880\nIn a field of work that was largely unregulated until 1915\, evidence that highlights the context of maternity attendance and midwifery practice is thin. In this presentation\, I will highlight sources of evidence that offer a window on this intensely private realm and discuss the limitations of that evidence. Focussing on examples of practice in the County of Bourke during the years 1849-1879\, inclusive\, I will discuss what the available evidence tells us about maternity attendance in mid-nineteenth century Victoria. \nMadonna Grehan OAM is an independent historian. A Registered Nurse and Midwife\, she has a PhD in history (Melb.) and is Honorary Fellow in the Melbourne School of Health Sciences. Madonna’s research interests centre on the history of women and society in Australia since its occupation by Europeans\, particularly maternity care. \nMadonna is an interviewer for the National Library’s Oral History and Folklore Collection. She is a Past President of the Australian and New Zealand Society of the History of Medicine\, Immediate Past President of the Medical History Society of Victoria\, and in her 16th year of volunteer social-history tour-guiding at Melbourne’s Abbotsford Convent. \nSurrey Hills Historical Society AGM from 7 – 8pm \nMadonna’s talk will be followed by supper ($4.50 for non-members) \nChandler Room\, Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre\, 157 Union Road \nParking in Union Road and in the new section of railway car park recently part-opened in nearby Bedford Avenue. \n  \nImage caption: Cat. 27 Harvie & Sutcliffe (Melbourne\, active c. 1890s–1908)\, Operating theatre\, Women’s Hospital\, c. 1897\, photograph\, mounted; 25.4 × 30.4 cm.
