SUMMARY:How to Record a Painful History
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a not-to-be-missed discussion on recording and sharing the truths of a colonial past. Aunty Fay Stewart-Muir and Marguerita Stephens will share their experience of collaborating across cultures to create their ground-breaking work “Years of Terror: Banbu-deen: Kulin & Colonists at Port Phillip 1835-1851.” \nWhy did Billibellary and other Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung clansmen and women parley with Batman on the banks of the Merri Creek in June 1835?  And what befell the clans in the decade and a half that followed that fateful encounter with Britain’s Empire? Based primarily on the daily journal of Assistant Protector William Thomas\, this work meticulously documents the lives\, and deaths\, of those who struggled to hold their Country.

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.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Oral Histories
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn more about the value of oral histories and Council’s heritage collections? \nJoin us at our upcoming event at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens. \nHistorian Dr Nicolette Snowden will explain how to record oral histories and examine their value in both a community and professional context. Nicolette is an experienced oral historian\, researcher and writer and she is a member of the Professional Historians Association (Victoria and Tasmania) and Oral History Victoria. \nThe program venue\, Benga\, was home to Australia’s first oral history centre. The centre resulted in a collection of recordings and transcripts of more than 300 interviews with a cross-section of people from the city. These oral histories now form part of Council’s Civic and Cultural Heritage Collection. Over the years\, these oral histories have formed the basis of many social history exhibitions and have provided an invaluable research tool for those studying Australia’s cultural heritage.
