DESCRIPTION:Join Kew Historical Society to hear Professor Richard Broome AM\, FAHA\, FRHSV discuss The Power of Place. The Story of Melbourne Lanes\, the making of Melbourne’s lanes and books about the lanes. \nMelbourne’s laneways have always been dynamic and great survivors\, adding to the importance of the strong belief\, in this age of waste\, demolition and rebuilding\, that preserving the characteristics of a city’s evolution is an essential part of remaining unique and refreshingly different from other cities. \nRobin Boyd wrote in Victorian Modern in 1947 that\, ‘The little lanes were the honest streets of Melbourne’. \nAbout Professor Richard Broome\nProfessor Broome taught Australian and Indigenous History at La Trobe University for over three decades. \nHe is currently President of the RHSV and co-editor of the Victorian Historical Journal and was a former co-editor of Australian Historical Studies. \nHe is the author of 20 books. His latest co-authored book with the RHSV is The Story of Melbourne’s Lanes – Essential but Unplanned (2024). Copies of this book will be available to purchase for $50 and all proceeds will go to the RHSV. Cash is preferred. \nRefreshments will be served. \nWe welcome your attendance at the Just Theatre\, Kew Court House\, 188 High Street\, Kew\, 7.30pm for 8pm.

SUMMARY:The World of Mab Grimwade
DESCRIPTION:Born into a genteel family of pastoralists and investors in colonial Victoria\, Mabel Louise Kelly (1887–1973)\, or ‘Mab’ to those who knew her\, would grow up to make an enormous contribution to Victoria and Australia. Most evidently\, it was made through bequests to the University of Melbourne and through the donation to the university of a large\, diverse and highly valuable collection of books and artworks. Mab Kelly married Russell Grimwade—chemist\, botanist\, industrialist and philanthropist—in 1909\, and much of her life from that point was publicly defined by her husband’s narrative. While Russell Grimwade left a large private collection including autobiographical papers\, letters\, and miscellanea that could be accessed by his biographer\, Mab preserved very little in the way of personal papers. How do we recover the lives of women who left little documentation? How do we piece together their stories and cultural impact? Using Mab Grimwade as a case study\, this talk addresses some of the methodological problems faced by historians writing biographies of women.
