SUMMARY:CATALOGUING CLINICS 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, each month is this informative and easy-going Zoom forum on all aspects of cataloguing collections for historical societies. Jillian has a different topic each month and is happy to be guided by those who attend as to what they would like covered in upcoming clinics. This is an interactive space where questions are encouraged. The RHSV does not endorse any particular cataloguing software – we believe it is horses for courses – and Jillian will talk about issues that impact on cataloguing whether you are using cataloguing cards or software. \nThe one-hour clinics are free and the Zoom log-in below is used every month in 2023\, however\, we do ask you to register each month as this enables Jillian to send you extra material / links etc after each session. \nThe remaining Cataloguing Clinics 2023 will be held at \n\nThu 19 Oct 11am – 12noon (AEDT)\nThu 16 Nov 11am – 12noon (AEDT)\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86065204468?pwd=UWNVVkhTanplK3Z6b20zSDVhYTE2Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 860 6520 4468\nPasscode: 549707 \nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZItceyqrj8uHNyeZRXkEGbD7ZUBvzw25bH8/ics?icsToken=98tyKuGurj0vGNSRtB-PRpwAAo_oZ-rziClbgo1EmSXXOyt2RQHSYdh3EKRlB4qF \nThis is a History Month event

SUMMARY:Making It Here: Stories of Four Enterprising Immigrant Engineers.
DESCRIPTION:Much has been written about the halcyon days of manufacturing in Fishermans Bend during the post-war period. This talk explores its antecedents through the lives of four\, largely forgotten\, engineers who made significant contributions to the rise of manufacturing there during the first half of the 20th century: Otto Schumacher\, Alfred Harman\, Albert Longoni and Fred David. \nThey learnt their craft in America\, Britain\, and Europe respectively before making their mark in Port Melbourne. Two founded manufacturing businesses here while the other two made pivotal contributions to existing firms. The innovative machines they designed and developed ranged from steam-powered winches and excavators to flour milling and food processing equipment\, from large cranes and systems for handling bulk materials to designing an urgently needed fighter aircraft. \nThe talk aims to evoke a sense of what it means to engineer. The emphasis is on people and place as much as it is on technical matters. The story of each engineer includes their family background and formative years. Their engineering achievements are set against the prevailing social\, cultural\, and geopolitical context and major events in their personal life. \nAlthough the locus of the stories is Port Melbourne encompassing Fishermans Bend\, the matters covered\, and the issues raised around manufacturing\, are universal. Themes that run through the stories of these four engineers speak to education and industry policy today. \nDavid Radcliffe is a Professor Emeritus at Purdue University where he was the head of the School of Engineering Education. A mechanical engineer\, his scholarly interests over a forty-year career in Australia and the US centred on the nature of engineering as a profession\, its history and practice\, and how engineering knowledge and identity are formed. Since retiring\, David has undertaken local history investigations in the Port Melbourne area. He published Changing Fortunes in 2021\, a social history of a precinct within the suburb and has written articles on the engineering heritage of the district. His new book\, Making it Here\, is due for release later this year. \nThe RHSV is delighted to co-present this event with Engineering Heritage Victoria. \n  \nHousekeeping \nWhen you book a ticket you will be sent an automatic email confirmation – these emails often go astray\, ending up in your Spam or Junk Mail in-box – please check there. \nIf you have booked to attend via ZOOM\, we will send you the ZOOM log-in details about 24 hours prior to the event. \nAs with most RHSV events\, we serve refreshments from 5:30pm – 6pm when the lecture starts. \nThis is a History Month event
