SUMMARY:St John the Baptist: It’s a wonder it was built at all
DESCRIPTION:It’s a wonder it was built at all: Talk by author and photographic exhibition\nWhen: 28 October 2023  at 1.30pm\nWhere: 61 Queens Parade\, Clifton Hill\nEntry: by donation\nRSVP: Contact John Andrews 0439 614 461 \nOn Tuesday 3 October and Sunday 8 October 2023 the church of St. John the Baptist\, Queens Parade\, Clifton Hill celebrates its consecration centenary. It was the second Catholic parish church in Melbourne to be consecrated. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful Catholic churches in Melbourne. \nThe Consecration took place on 3 October 1923 with Archbishop Daniel Mannix\, Melbourne’s fiesty and sometimes politically controversial archbishop officiating at the elaborate overnight and daytime ceremonies. On Sunday 7 October the parish came together for a celebratory Mass with Mannix and former parish priest\, John McCarthy and then Bishop of Sandhurst (Bendigo) officiating. It was followed by a parish celebration and a students’ picnic on the Monday. \nThe church is an architectural and artistic gem. It took 31 years (1876-1907) to complete\, and was heavily influenced through its architect\, John Bunn Denny by the ideas of Augustus Pugin\, the leader of the Catholic Revival Movement in England. It is equally remarkable that such a grand church should be built in the poor Irish Catholic suburb of Clifton Hill\, aided by parishioner and printer\, Thomas Edmund Verga who contributed about half of the cost of the building and its interiors. This included its front and rear stained-glass windows\, manufactured by John Hardman and Company of Birmingham. Other stained-glass windows on the side walls followed in 1928-29. The church also contains the second largest interwar Fincham organ in Victoria. \nA photographic exhibition of the church’s and parish’s history is viewable\, 24 September- 29 October when the church is open. \nOn 28 October at 2pm in the church John will give a talk\, ‘It’s a wonder it was built at all’ outlining the history behind the building of the church\, its first stained glass windows and the subsequent growth of an active Irish Catholic community centred on their local church. The talk is open to all. \nFor further information\, contact the Consecration Centenary Committee on 0439 614 461 or register your attendance at office@olsc.org.au. \nPhoto: Queens Parade\, July 1893m\, Museums Victoria Collections\, Item 773214

SUMMARY:Bushrangers\, bushfires and possum pies: the archaeology of the Old Bridge Inn\, Mernda
DESCRIPTION:🥧 Bushrangers\, bushfires and possum pies: the archaeology of the Old Bridge Inn\, Mernda \nIn 2015\, the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) commissioned Dr Vincent Clark & Associates to carry out cultural heritage investigations for the Mernda Rail Extension Project. In the course of excavations the team came across the Old Bridge Inn. This is one of the earliest commercial structures outside of Melbourne. It was granted a hotel license in 1841\, and this business is still in operation today as The Bridge Inn Hotel. Dr Michelle Negus Cleary will share with us the trials and joys discovered along the way with this cultural investigation. \nMichelle is an Archaeologist with specialist expertise in ancient and historical archaeological survey and excavation\, remote sensing\, photogrammetry and more. She has also been a member of the library board since 2018. \n  \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.

SUMMARY:The life and art of Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri\, The master from Marnpi
DESCRIPTION:🖌️ The life and art of Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri\, The master from Marnpi \nHow did a non-Indigenous man write the authorised biography of a Western Desert artist he never met? \nAuthor Dr Alec O’Halloran talks about Namarari’s life and art to reveal the 19-year journey of reconciliation\, challenges and the rewards he experienced. What happened in my first meeting with his widow\, Elizabeth Marks Nakamarra\, at the remote Pintupi settlement\, Kintore\, deep in the south-west of the Northern Territory? How was I able to visit isolated Aboriginal sites that appear in Namarari’s paintings? How did Namarari’s voice convince me to study his life and art more closely? I could never have predicted how this project would unfold or how grateful I would be to the many Pintupi people who became my teachers. \n  \nThis is a History Month event

SUMMARY:Law Rare Book Lecture: The Weird and Wonderful World of Animals and the Law
DESCRIPTION:2023 Law Rare Book Lecture:\nThe Weird and Wonderful World of Animals and the Law \nPresenter: Professor Katy Barnett \nFor this lecture\, Professor Katy Barnett will discuss the book she co-wrote with Professor Jeremy Gans Guilty Pigs which considers the history and development of the law as it relates to animals.

Since Guilty Pigs has come out\, the New York Court of Appeal decided that Happy the Elephant was not entitled to legal personhood\, but the Panamanian government has said that people can sue on behalf of the interests of sea turtles. \nWe hope you can join us for this opportunity to hear Professor Katy Barnett speak. The lecture will start at 6.00 pm and is hosted by the Law Library\, Melbourne Law School. \nDate & time: Tuesday 19 September\, 6:00pm – 7:00pm\nLocation: Melbourne Law School\, G08 Theatre\, 185 Pelham St\, Carlton\nFurther information and registration: https://events.unimelb.edu.au/MLS/event/30609-the-weird-and-wonderful-world-of-animals-and-the
