SUMMARY:Fashion in the Age of Elegance 1840-1900

SUMMARY:Tahbilk Winery: Explorers Way tourist drive launch
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Heritage Festival 2023 is coming to a venue near you! \nTahbilk Winery has generously offered their Wetlands View Restaurant to host the launch of the Explorers Way tourist drive and brochure\, a project of Nagambie Historical Society\, in collaboration with the Strathbogie Shire. \nThe event will take place on Tuesday April 18\, 11am to 2pm. This is also International Monuments and Sites Day. \nThe Explorers Way revives the Major Mitchell Bicentennial Trail through the Shire\, from Mitchellstown to Violet Town. It then travels\, in reverse\, the tracks of Hume and Hovell\, returning through Euroa and Longwood to Avenel. The drive visits every cairn and memorial to the explorers in those areas\, and the map brochure details other points of interest in each town. \nRoads less travelled have been used for the drive to highlight the beauty of the Shire\, away from the freeways; long arching tunnels of eucalypts\, golden pastures with stands of ancient trees\, wooden bridges and tree-lined creeks\, with the blue of the ranges always in the distance. \nSociety secretary\, Judy Macdonald\, explains that “the Major Mitchell Bicentennial Trail was a popular get-away experience in the 1990s as people took a few days to travel through Victoria and experience tiny townships and areas not seen before. However the extensive brochure\, available from every information centre on the route\, and including field notes of Mitchell\, was published by a Government department which became obsolete. The next edition was printed by another department but that also was discontinued. Consequently what was arguably the best tourist attraction to include so much of Victoria has fallen into disuse. Existing roads were used in the first instance so the trail is still there. The finger posts remain in many areas\, but the brochure itself has become a rare book!” \nThe new brochure is a simple foldout but remains true to the directions given in the original. \nThe theme of the 2023 Festival is shared stories and the Society feels the earliest stories of Europeans in our district are those of these explorers\, told from their journals. It is hoped that future grants can provide funds for interpretive panels at Mitchellstown\, telling the story of the local indigenous people who were displaced by the consequences of successful exploration. \nTwo passionate speakers will be the highlight of the launch. Surveyor Gregory Eccleston was instrumental in creating the 1700 km Major Mitchell Long Distance Trail and has written a fascinating and beautifully illustrated book\, Granville Stapylton Australia Felix 1836: second in command to Major Mitchell\, some copies of which will be available on the day.

SUMMARY:Writers on Campus series - Writing the Past
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to the next installment in our Writers on Campus series – Writing the Past \n‘Good history is a high-wire gravity-defying act of balance and grace\,’ Tom Griffiths wrote recently\, describing historians as writers who\, ‘have to forsake their own world for a period – and then\, somehow\, find their way back.’ In our first session of Writers on Campus for 2023 we speak with two historians who are adept at walking that high-wire\, and at time travel. \nCome hear two of La Trobe’s most acclaimed historians\, Judith Brett and Katie Holmes\, discuss why they do what they do\, and how they approach the work and craft of making history\, in conversation with Kelly Gardiner \nJudith Brett (AM) is an Emeritus Professor of politics at La Trobe University and an award-winning author and frequent media contributor who is committed to engaged political research and bringing the fruits of her enquiry to the general public through books written for a broad readership. Among her publications are Robert Menzies’ Forgotten People and Australian Liberals and the Moral Middle Class. In 2017 she published The Enigmatic Mr Deakin which won the National Biography Award. Her most recent book was a highly engaging study of Australia’s voting system\, From Secret Ballot to Democracy Sausage. Judith writes regularly for The Monthly on contemporary Australian politics. \nKatie Holmes an environmental historian and environmental humanities scholar\, internationally known for her work on how individuals interact with their culture\, society and environment. Her work has helped transform the field of environmental history in Australia into a mode of understanding the experience of Australian settlement\, one shaped by climate and landscape which in turn shapes culture and policy. Some of Katie’s key books include Mallee Country: Land\, People which she co-authored in 2020\, Between the Leaves: Stories of Australian women\, writing and gardens (2011); Reading the Garden: the settlement of Australia’ (co-author\, 2008) and Spaces in her Day: Women’s diaries of the 1920s and 1930s (1995). Katie currently holds the Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser Chair in Australian Studies at Harvard University. \nWhere: Borchardt Library\, Level 1\, Seminar Room 1.34\, Bundoora Campus\, La Trobe University \nBookings: Details and registration  \nPlease share with your networks as everyone is welcome.

SUMMARY:Polish Museum and Archives in Australia: 30th Anniversary Celebration
DESCRIPTION:In March the Polish Museum and Archives of Australia celebrates its 30th anniversary (slightly delayed because of COVID!) and all are welcome to join in \nEntry is free and food\, entertainment and speakers are included. No BYO but drinks can be purchased at the bar. \nBookings essential: polishmuseumarchivesaustralia@gmail.com \nor Barbara Capewell on 0402 002 429 \nor Alinela Kociuba 0419 188 696 \n  \nThe Polish Museum and Archives in Australia was established in 1991 as an initiative of a number of people who saw the importance of collecting and preserving historical materials that reflected the individual and community life of Polish immigrants living in Australia. The organisation was incorporated in 1992.\nThe aims of the organisation are to: \n\nCollect and preserve documents\, medals\, objects\, photographs and other materials that have historical significance to the Polish community and the wider community in Australia.\nMake materials available to members of the general public and academics for research and other activities\, such as exhibitions.\nWork cooperatively with organisations that have similar goals.\nPublish reference materials and books about the history and experiences of Polish immigration to Australia.\nSeek support for the Polish Museum and Archive’s activities from mainstream\, government and non-profit organisations and individuals.\n\nCurrent Activities and Projects:\nThe Polish Soldier Migrant Project:\nIn 1947 and 1948 Australia accepted a very specific Polish migrant. Over 1\,500 former members of the Polish military based in the United Kingdom arrived in Australia aboard the “Asturias” and the “Strathnaver”. These men represented various military services including the Carpathian Brigade\, the Air Force\, Armoured Division and the Second Corps. A sizeable number worked on the Hydro-Electric Scheme in Tasmania; but many were sent to various parts of Australia. These men were vital to the establishment of Polish community structures in the following decades. They also represent a significant prelude to the massive post-war Polish migration from the displaced persons camps scattered throughout Western Europe. \nCollections Project:\nThe Polish Museum and Archives continually seeks significant objects\, documents and photographs that relate to the story of Polish post war migration experiences. It would be a lost opportunity to make our mark on the multicultural mosaic of Australia and for our own sense of cultural identify\, if we were to lose these treasures\, just because their true significance was not recognised at the time. \nOral History Project:\nThe post-war Polish immigrants are today our senior citizens. It is therefore important to document the experiences of these early pioneers. Such experiences include: \n\nPre-war life.\nWar-time experiences.\nEarly life in Australia – life in migrant hostels\, the two-year work contracts.\nEstablishing homes\, community structures and cultural life.\nReflections on Polish migrants’ lives today.\n\nIt is vital that these stories be recorded and passed down to future generations of Polish Australians. They should also be documented as part of the greater multicultural Australian experience.

SUMMARY:Connecting With Boeing’s Australian Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Annie Flodin \nBoeing Historical Services is responsible for preserving and promoting Boeing history. The team oversees the Boeing Archives and supports a number of teams and individuals both within and outside of Boeing. Boeing’s archives include two repositories\, and they incorporate the heritage of companies which Boeing has absorbed over its long history. The main collection is housed in a secure complex in Auburn\, Washington state\, just south of Seattle and covers the corporate history of Boeing as well as other heritage companies including North American Aviation and Douglas Aircraft Co.\, among others. Another smaller collection is located in St. Louis\, Missouri\, and encompasses primary McDonnell Aircraft Corp. and McDonnell Douglas. \nIn 1997 The Boeing Company acquired AeroSpace Technologies of Australia and then in late 2000\, Boeing acquired Hawker de Havilland and merged the two companies. Thus Boeing inherited manufacturing operations and assets in Bankstown\, NSW and Fishermans Bend\, Victoria\, along with the heritage of Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation\, Government Aircraft Factories and Hawker De Havilland. In 2009 the companies were re-named Boeing Aerostructures Australia to better reflect their business as a major exporter of components to Boeing\, Airbus\, Lockheed Martin\, Bombardier and other aircraft manufacturers. \nTo better understand the heritage of ASTA and its predecessors\, Annie Flodin of Boeing Historical Services has been visiting Australia and exploring the locations and archives where various elements of this heritage can be found. This has taken her on a tour of numerous aviation museums\, collections\, and meetings with many organisations and individuals.\nHer presentation will describe the role and activities of Boeing Historical Services and inform us about the work she’s doing “down under”. \nAnnie has worked as a Historian for Boeing since January 2019\, and previously worked in Executive Communications where she coordinated internal and external communications initiatives in support of Boeing’s Chairman\, President and CEO\, with an emphasis on Government Operations and Technology. She founded The Great Planes aviation-themed blog in 2017 (www.thegreatplanes.com)\, writing about the magic of flight and her journey in the industry (she also displays her mastery of the pun\, including The Great Planes\, The Three Keys\, On Cloud (B-Twenty) Nine\, Praising Arizona\, and my favourite\, Weightless in Seattle). She was also a Contributing Editor for Airways Magazine. She has a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Communication and Journalism from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. \n  \nHybrid meeting – both in person and via Zoom \nFor more information and bookings: membership@ahsa.org.au \n

SUMMARY:A celebration of the former Dunach School building and the people who have been associated with it
DESCRIPTION:Extensive work has recently been done to restore the 1874 former Dunach School building\, which is now part of Talbot Museum. This is almost finished and Talbot Arts & Historical Museum is planning a celebration and re-opening event for the morning of Saturday 4th March 2023\, with the Museum to be open all day. \nWe’re particularly hoping to welcome people with personal or family ties to the building during its different phases of life – as the Dunach school but also serving that area as a local hall and church\, as “Dunach” at Maryborough High School where it served as a stand-alone classroom\, as part of the Talbot annexe of Maryborough Knitting Mill and also its more recent roles in the town and the museum. We’re asking people to bring any related memorabilia with them on the day. \nSchool assembly (Patriotic Ceremony)\nA traditional school assembly will be re-enacted by the current teachers and students of Talbot PS. \nWriting workshop for the children. Using the desks in the restored school building\, children will have the\nopportunity to practice traditional handwriting on individual blackboards that they can keep afterwards. \nMemory wall for the adults. Using different colours of post-it notes representing Dunach\, Maryborough\,\nthe Mill and the Museum\, participants will write their names on each of the colours applicable to them\,\nwith dates and optional comments\, and then stick them on the blank wall in the school. The notes will later\nbe collected and compiled permanently into a memory book to remain in the school building. \nTime for exhibition\, recording of memories\, reconnecting and viewing the museums\nVisitors will have time to move around and between the following activities:\n• A significant exhibition explaining and celebrating the history of the former Dunach school building;\n• Interviews about memories of attending the building in its various roles;\n• Scanning photos and documents (these will be returned immediately); and\n• Seating and refreshments will be available and the rest of the Museum complex will also be open\nfor viewing. \nLunch and end of structured program\nLunch will be available from the Court House Hotel across the road for those who choose to participate\, or\nvisitors can bring their own food. \nThe Museum complex will remain open during the afternoon. \nIf you have any queries please contact: Marion Miller\, Secretary | talbotmuseumsecretary@gmail.com \n
