SUMMARY:RICHMOND: the half-forgotten world of "the Richmond Irish"
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Chris McConville and Robert Pascoe \nThe next talk in their series on Richmond’s villages will take Chris McConville and Robert Pascoe into the half-forgotten world of “the Richmond Irish”. This event will take place on Sunday 5 October. The first Irish in Richmond were the Anglo-Irish who settled Richmond Hill\, in streets like The Vaucluse and Erin Street\, in the colonial era. They were followed by the working-class Catholic Irish. The Loughnans\, the O’Connells\, the Cremeans — these clans came to define twentieth-century Richmond. Prominent Richmondites of Irish background also included Francis Bourke\, Jack Dyer (on his mother’s side)\, and Dan Minogue. Our suburb was shaped by their politics\, their language\, and their outlook on life. They bequeathed Richmond its glorious pubs\, its bitter-sweet humour\, and its inclusivity. Despite their relatively diminished numbers\, the Richmond Irish still make their presence felt in so many ways.

SUMMARY:A Monumental Egyptian Tomb In Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Hidden within a suburban Melbourne cemetery lies a remarkable piece of Egyptian-inspired architecture: the tomb of David Syme\, one of the world’s first media tycoons and the influential proprietor of The Age newspaper. Built in 1910—12 years before the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb—this heritage-listed mausoleum is a miniature replica of Trajan’s Kiosk on Philae Island in Egypt. Designed by renowned architects Walter Richmond Butler and Royston Bradshaw\, and adorned with copper fittings crafted by artist Mabel Young\, the tomb is a masterpiece of Arts and Crafts design. \nIn this captivating talk\, artist-turned-researcher Setken delves into the fascinating history of the Syme tomb\, uncovering its architectural brilliance\, cultural significance\, and the mysterious stories surrounding its creation. From the influence of Egyptology and Theosophy to the role of the Victorian Spiritualist Union and Syme’s connection with Prime Minister Alfred Deakin\, Setken reveals how this extraordinary monument reflects Melbourne’s lost history. The presentation also highlights the urgent need for restoration and addresses the curious case of misattributed authorship that nearly erased Butler and Bradshaw’s legacy. \nFeaturing unpublished research\, stunning visuals\, and compelling storytelling\, this talk is a journey into Melbourne’s hidden past and the life of a complex man whose tomb stands as a testament to an era of spiritual exploration and artistic innovation.

SUMMARY:Can I Help You? Recognising and Improving Artificial Intelligence as History Maker
DESCRIPTION:Please join the History Council of Victoria’s Annual Lecture to be delivered by Distinguished Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington AO.\n\nThe evening will also include the presentation of the History Council of Victoria’s major awards:\n\nJane Hansen Prize for History Advocacy\nLynette Russell Prize for First Peoples’ History in Schools\n\nCan I Help You? Recognising and Improving Artificial Intelligence as History Maker\nDistinguished Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington AO\nUniversity of South Australia/Adelaide University\nCan I help you? If you use digital devices\, you probably receive many offers of help every day. Help with the next word you might want to write in a message\, or with generating a document or an image\, or suggestions about what you might buy\, watch\, study or borrow. This oration explains how these offers of help are part of a wider invitation for us to recognise AI as history maker. Using examples\, it shows how AI makes meaning from past data to make recommendations for the present and the future. It also argues that seeing AI as history maker is important for making better AI technologies\, and histories. Knowing what histories are written about you and others\, and knowing how those histories can be made is critical for social and economic health. \n\nDistinguished Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington AO PFHEA B.Ed (Hons) Tas\, DPhil Oxon\n\nA graduate of the Universities of Tasmania and Oxford\, Marnie has a global profile as a philosopher and as an historian. She is Provost and Chief Academic Officer and Bradley Distinguished Professor at the University of South Australia. Her current work looks at how AI makes histories\, and how histories might be made in future which are efficient\, safe\, and ethical. Her writing has been translated into five languages\, over 26\,000 copies of her books have been sold\, and her theories are taught across the world. She has led or been an investigator on a total of $18 million in grants. Her most recent books are History from Loss (edited with Daniel Woolf\, 2023) and The Routledge Companion to History and the Moving Image (edited with Kim Nelson and Mia Treacey\, 2023) and she is co-secretary general of the International Commission for the History and Theory of History. In 2022 she was made an Officer in the Order of Australia for her contribution to higher education governance\, leadership\, and mentoring.

SUMMARY:Party Lines and Trunk Calls – A Curated Objects Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Created for the Nati Frinj Biennale 2025\, this projected is supported by Arapiles Historical Society.  \nFocussing on the history of telephones\, this exhibition celebrates the work of the women who were employed in the Natimuk Exchange\, made trunk calls or used party lines for private communications from local or remoted properties. \nFeaturing what is now seen as dinosaur technology\, the selected objects range from wooden wall phones\, 1910 to quirky\, telephone-inspired fashion accessories in 2024. A soundscape brings to life snippets of stories that capture observations about early telephones and the work involved in a telephone exchange. \nA black and white image of 1950/60 women on an exchange has been reproduced with permission from RHSV\, and will be hung in the exhibition. In the image\, the photograph is placed temporarily on the remains of the original Natimuk telephone exchange. This magnificent object is a major feature of the exhibition and is a treasured item in the Arapiles Historical Society collection. \nVisit https://natifrinj.com/ to kick off a great 3-day event.
