SUMMARY:PIONEER REGISTER SEMINAR
DESCRIPTION:PIONEER REGISTER SEMINAR\nIn partnership with the Genealogical Society of Victoria\, the RHSV is holding a free Zoom seminar on one of the jewels in its crown – the Pioneer Register. This will be of great interest to those interested in family history or wanting to know more about this unique collection and how it can help your research. Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager will be delivering the seminar. \nThe RHSV has collected and maintained a register of early colonists in the state of Victoria which is of great historical value. It contains more than 2200 forms. \nIn 1909 the Historical Society of Victoria (becoming the Royal Historical Society of Victoria in 1952) was formed by people determined to capture the history of the state of Victoria. This was to be achieved by creating the ‘Register of early colonists who arrived in Victoria before 21st November 1856′\, that captured information about early Victorians. Later this register was broadened to become the ‘Historical Register of Persons Who arrived or were born in Victoria before 1900\, and/or their descendants’. \nPeople were invited to fill in the forms of their relatives and associates in order to capture information about individual colonists as well as their familial relationships. \nInformation requested in the registers included: full name; date and place of birth; name of the parents and their residences; date of arrival in Victoria and name of ship; places of residences in Victoria and with dates; public offices held; literary work\, publications\, inventions or other work of public benefit; date and place of marriage; name of wife in full\, with parents names and place of residence; names of children; portrait if available; signature and relationship of the information provider. \nAlthough not requested\, many people sent in multiple photographs and longer letters outlining their family’s history. An RHSV volunteer\, Val Rohde\, has been working on the Pioneer Register catalogue for over 2 years. Val is enriching the catalogue by linking the Pioneer Register records to other appropriate manuscripts\, maps\, images and books in the RHSV Collection ensuring that researchers can maximise the value of the Register. \nJillian Hiscock has been the Collections Manager at the Royal Historical Society for over 3 years. She qualified as a librarian at Melbourne University after doing a Bachelor of Arts at La Trobe University. She has had a career working in public and special libraries\, and managing government department libraries and intranets. She ran the Department of Transport library which supported Heritage Victoria and the Planning portfolio\, this in role particular has given her relevant experience in managing collections that span manuscripts\, ephemera\, books\, images and non-print materials. \nThis free seminar will be offered via Zoom – details will be sent out 24 hours prior to the event. \nThe seminar will be offered on Thursday 14th October at 11am – 12noon and repeated that evening from 7pm – 8pm. \nPlease register your interest in either of the sessions below \n  \nThis is a History Month Event: click on the logo for the full program of events

SUMMARY:No Regard for the Truth : Friendship and kindness. Tragedy and injustice. Rowville’s Italian prisoners of war.
DESCRIPTION:No Regard for the Truth : Friendship and kindness. Tragedy and injustice. Rowville’s Italian prisoners of war.\nIn March 1946\, the war was over. The Italian prisoners of war who had been captured several years earlier in northern Africa were interned in camps around Australia and were waiting to be returned home. One Saturday evening\, the commandant of the Rowville internment camp\, Captain Waterston\, shot and killed a prisoner\, Rodolfo Bartoli\, who he claimed was attempting to escape. What initially appeared to be a straightforward case of an Australian army officer carrying out his duty\, soon appeared to be something else. Allegations of assaults\, reckless firing of weapons\, drunkenness and stolen goods began to emerge. \nWe are delighted that Darren Arnott\, a Melbourne based IT Security consultant will share\, with RHSV members\, his experiences about discovering this story and the details of his research into ‘No Regard for the Truth’ where he delved into military and court archives\, historical police reports\, newspaper articles and personal accounts from former locals who still had memories of the Italians and the camp. He learnt of the brutal treatment of some of the internees and of a romance between the young shooting victim and the daughter of a local farmer which took surprising twist during his research. \nNo Regard for the Truth was shortlisted for the Victorian Community History Awards 2020 and in available in the RHSV bookshop. \nTHIS IS A HISTORY MONTH EVENT: click on the logo for the full program of events\n

SUMMARY:The Women of Little Lon
DESCRIPTION:The Women of Little Lon: Sex Workers in Nineteenth-Century Melbourne\n\n\n\n\n\n We are delighted that historian\, Barbara Minchinton\, will deliver our History Month lecture on this remarkable but little-known chapter in Melbourne’s history\nSex workers in nineteenth-century Melbourne were judged morally corrupt by the respectable world around them. But theirs was a thriving trade\, with links to the police and political leaders of the day\, and the leading brothels were usually managed by women. \nWhile today a city lane is famously named after Madame Brussels\, the identities of the other ‘flash madams’\, the ‘dressed girls’ who worked for them and the hundreds of women who solicited on the streets of the Little Lon district of Melbourne are not remembered. \nWho were they? What did their daily lives look like? What became of them? Drawing on the findings of recent archaeological excavations\, rare archival material and family records\, historian Barbara Minchinton brings the fascinating world of Little Lon to life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Minchinton is a historian and independent researcher. For several years she collaborated with a team of archaeologists on the interpretation of artefacts from Melbourne’s Little Lon district. She is the author of a number of articles regarding the nineteenth century sex work industry in Little Lon\, and The Women of Little Lon is the culmination of years of research and collaboration. \n\n  \nAttendance and Zoom details \nThis event was originally planned to be delivered both as a live event at the RHSV and through Zoom. However\, now it will be delivered only as a Zoom event.  The log-in details will be sent to you 24 hours before the event. For those attending by Zoom\, the Zoom will start just prior to 6pm. You will have the opportunity too to put questions to Barbara. \n  \n \nThis is a History Month event: click on the logo for the full program of events\n

SUMMARY:A Trip to the Dominions - The Scientific Event that Changed Australia
DESCRIPTION:A presentation via zoom by Professor Lynette Russell AM\nTuesday 2 6 October 20 2 1\n6.45pm for 7 pm\nPlease book by phoning: George Fernando 0448 296 258 or emailing – enquiries@chs.org.au\nThe link for the session will be sent after booking \nProfessor Lynette Russell AM\, FASSA\, FAHA is an award-winning Australian historian and Indigenous studies scholar. She is currently a Kathleen Fitzpatrick Laureate Fellow at Monash University. She is an elected member of AITSIS\, and a fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences of Australia (2013)\, the Australian Academy of the Humanities\, the Royal Historical Society\, and the Royal Anthropological Institute.\nOn the eve of the Great War\, in 1914\, the Australian Federal Government sponsored the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) to travel to Australia for their annual conference. Over 150 scientists were fully funded by the Australian Commonwealth government\, and they travelled on three ships especially commanded for this purpose.\nIn terms of anthropology\, the congress presented a unique opportunity to showcase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. The Association\, deeply impressed by this\, urged the Federal Government to support a chair in anthropology to be based at an Australian university. Other of the Association’s recommendations were to establish a Commonwealth Scientific Institute (later CSIRO) and to develop a national telescope at Mt Stromlo.

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:The October clinic will focus on different cataloguing systems – so everything from catalogue cards and excel spreadsheets to the more sophisticated specialist software. \nJillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these cataloguing clinics during the early days of COVID and they suit Zoom very well. The clinics run for an hour from 11am – 12noon on the 4th Thursday of each month. It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which\, as we all know\, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.  With our membership scattered across Australia please remember that this is Melbourne time – AEDT in summer and AEST in winter. \nJillian always prepares some material on some specific queries but questions are encouraged and\, remember\, a problem shared is a problem halved. The clinics are conversational in format rather than a seminar. If you are new to cataloguing or an old hand you will find plenty to interest you in these sessions. Jillian often has material which is emailed out to attendees after the clinic. \nThe remaining clinics for 2021 will be held (all via Zoom) on these dates: \n\nOct 28\, 2021 11AM\nNov 25\, 2021 11AM\n\n  \nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZItd-yhqz8oHtJgxpBNwW8ieSnpwIWjKaLP/ics?icsToken=98tyKuGurjsvE9GRsh2BRpwAAoigZ_PwmClBgrd3mwf1IQ5EVVv_M9FMIqVWJ9L7 \nJoin Zoom Meeting (this is applicable to all 10 clinics during 2021)\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86005954246?pwd=eUsyRlRxTE92bU5Wb3IzVjVIcmxKdz09 \nMeeting ID: 860 0595 4246\nPasscode: 217816 \nTHIS IS A HISTORY MONTH EVENT.

SUMMARY:Inter-Institutional Loans Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Inter-Institutional Loans Seminar\nThis free Zoom seminar is aimed squarely at all the historical societies which are members of the RHSV. It is a very important seminar for those societies interested in building their capacity and adopting best practice in relation to their collection. \nWe have put together a stellar panel of experts who have been involved in both lending and borrowing items from their collections to other institutions. \n\nAnnie Muir\, Heritage Victoria. Annie is a Heritage Curator for Heritage Victoria’s Artefact and Research Centre. They look after all the objects found in archaeological digs and shipwrecks in Victoria. In recent years the RHSV has mounted two exhibitions with Annie’s help – one on the wreck of the Fiji and the other about objects related to childhood found in archaeological digs in Melbourne. \nSarah Haselton is the Senior Registrar Exhibitions and Loans\, Collection Care at the State Library of Victoria. Through Sarah\, the SLV recently borrowed material from the RHSV’s MacRobertson collection.\nAmanda Wild is the Exhibitions & Loans Conservator\, Collections Care at the State Library of Victoria.\nHelen Stitt\, Royal Historical Society of Victoria\, will talk about her experience with collections like the large collection at RACV as well as what the RHSV looks for when we are asked to lend material to another institution.\n\nThe panellists will talk about exactly what their institution looks for when they are asked to lend items from their collection. They will also cover issues like how to approach an institution\, the time-lines involved\, permissions needed\, paperwork to be signed off\, transport of objects\, conservation (incl climate control and lighting)\, security\, insurance and potential costs. All institutions are different but there are lot of consistencies in the way they handle loans. It also works the other way – if your society is approached to lend an object from your collection\, what should you be asking of the borrower? \nEven if your society has no immediate plans to borrow or lend\, this is an important seminar designed to show historical societies what they should be aiming for in terms of climate control\, security\, lighting etc

SUMMARY:Stories from the Greece / Crete Campaign\, WW2 - Presented by Patrick Ferry
DESCRIPTION:In early 1941\, Britain committed nearly 60\,000 soldiers to help defend Greece from an imminent German invasion. This included some 17\,000 troops from the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). When the invasion came in April 1941\, the Allies put up stiff resistance\, but were soon forced into an arduous retreat. Over the next couple of months\, an astounding 39% of the AIF in Greece and Crete were killed\, wounded or taken prisoner of war. Despite this\, the campaign remains relatively less well known. In this presentation\, Patrick Ferry (State Manager\, Victoria for the National Archives of Australia) will share the stories of some soldiers from Pakenham\, Victoria who were caught up in this tragedy. Patrick will also talk about a major National Archives’ project to digitise WW2 Army and RAAF service records. \nPlease book – email Eileen at –  secretary@nwfgh.org.au \n  \n

SUMMARY:Soldier Settlement Schemes seminar via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Soldier Settlement Schemes seminar via Zoom\nA joint presentation with the Genealogical Society of Victoria and the RHSV. \nWe are delighted that Dr Charles Fahey has agreed to deliver this seminar on Soldier Settlement Schemes \nThe Soldier Settlement Schemes encompassed thousands of  World War One returned soldiers who occupied  farming land on conditional purchase leases across Victoria between 1919 and the 1960s. If you are researching family or Australian history this talk will help you understand the individual experience of a soldier settler\, as well as the historical context of the Victorian Soldier Settlement Scheme. The talk will make special use of files from the parishes of Wagant and Kulwin to illustrate the information and stories to be found in vast archive left by the settlers. \nDr Charles Fahey joined Latrobe University in 1990 after briefly teaching history at the University of Tasmania in Launceston. He taught history at La Trobe University\, in Bendigo\, Melbourne and Shepparton  until his retirement in 2018. His research explores Australian Labor\, rural and mining history. He is the author of many Victorian rural histories and articles (a list of articles can be found here). Before becoming an academic\, he was employed as a historian with the Victorian Government\, where he worked on the conservation of historic sites on Crown land and the history of Victorian forestry. The unit Charles worked with was also responsible for transferring the vast archive of Solder Settler files to PROV. \nThis is a free Zoom presentation. Please register below and the Zoom log-in details will be sent to you 24 hours before the event. \n  \n \n(Photo courtesy of Public Record Office Victoria)

SUMMARY:Needlework on the Diggings and Extravagance\, Tradition and Power: Governor Latrobe's Uniform
DESCRIPTION:Join Sovereign Hill Museums Association for a special Weston Bate Memorial Lecture on colonial fashion and needlework with researchers\, Dr Lorinda Cramer and Megan Anderson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘I find my sewing powers of great advantage here’: Needlework on the diggings \nGuest speaker: Dr Lorinda Cramer \nIn 1856\, Maggie Hoey wrote to her sister in Scotland: ‘I find my sewing powers of great advantage here’. By ‘here’\, Maggie was referring to her new home on the Victorian goldfields. By her ‘sewing powers’\, she meant her skills in needlework that ranged from making and mending clothing to furnishing her tent. This lecture will explore the ‘great advantage’ of women’s and men’s sewing on the diggings: how it made them comfortable by clothing and housing them\, but how it also helped assert their place in the tumultuous gold-rush society. It will draw on diaries\, letters and memoirs written on the diggings\, on the illustrations and photographs that richly captured those experiences\, and on the rare surviving examples of needlework now preserved in museum collections. It will show just how important sewing could be to transform daily life. \nDr Lorinda Cramer is a postdoctoral researcher at the Australian Catholic University\, where she is currently working on the ARC Discovery project Men’s Dress in Twentieth-Century Australia: Masculinity\, Fashion\, Social Change. Her research into dress\, fashion and textile history is underpinned by material culture and inspired by her work for more than a decade as a museum curator and collection manager. Her PhD\, completed in 2015\, explored the lives of Victoria’s female gold-rush migrants through their needlework: from the clothes they sewed for themselves and their families to the textile goods they made for their homes and the relentless demands of mending and darning. \nThis research was published by Bloomsbury in 2020 as Needlework and Women’s Identity in Colonial Australia and has recently been released in paperback. \nDr Cramer’s research will be presented alongside Sovereign Hill’s former Costume Production Assistant\, Megan Anderson’s research on Lieutenant-Governor Charles LaTrobe. \nExtravagance\, Tradition and Power: Governor Latrobe’s Uniform \nGuest speaker: Megan Anderson \nMegan’s project will explore the significance\, history\, tradition and symbolism encompassed in the uniform of Lieutenant–Governor Charles La Trobe. Within the garment industry\, tailoring is extensively revered as the highest standard of garment construction\, with the highest quality achieved. Ceremonial uniforms\, including that of Lieutenant-Governor\, are from an even higher echelon – every element of this uniform was designed to impress\, emphasise and enhance the wearer in both status and stature. As holder of the highest office in the new colony of Victoria\, a distinguished uniform to solidify that position was absolutely necessary for La Trobe. The outcome of Megan’s research will include an impeccably tailored suit with accents of gold and silver. \nThis is a COVIDSafe event and will be held under the current government guidelines. Visitors 16 years of age and over must show their COVID-19 vaccination status as a condition of entry. This requirement will extend to visitors aged 12 and over once phase D of the roadmap is reached (indicatively 24 November). \n\nBOOK TICKETS HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/weston-bate-memorial-lecture-tickets-168363695345

SUMMARY:Peter Brown: Off the Beaten Track
DESCRIPTION:Photographs  1972-2021. For historians this photographic collection includes images of the Western Districts taken over the last 50 years. \nPhotographer\, Peter Brown\, only ever uses a fixed lens and composes the image before he takes the shot. He doesn’t like cropping or excessive editing.  From 1972 to 2000 he used a Nikkorrmat camera he bought in Singapore in 1972.  He switched to a Nikon FM2 with a 55 mm lens. In 2015 he changed to a Nikon D600. \nThey are all stamped and numbered 1/10 on reverse. The photographer will print additional images as required. Maximum 10. \nPeter Brown adopts the philosophy that his art is a ‘journey of discovery’ taking him to all corners of the world from the village of Syvota in the remote Greek Island of Lefkada\, to Far North Queensland where he worked as a dentist in the early 1970s. Then\, as a keen hiker\, to the hiking trails of Tasmania\, Victoria and NSW as shown in this exhibition. Peter’s free-hand photography investigates the way light can transform ordinary objects into works of art. His particular interest in black and white film allows these prints to capture the atmosphere and mood of so many beautiful landscapes. \nThe gallery is open Mon – Fri 11-5pm\, Sat 12- – 5pm until the 4th December \n  \n\nBridget McDonnell Gallery \n130 Faraday St.\nCarlton Vic 3053\nAustralia \nPhone (613) 9347 1700 \nsales@bridgetmcdonnellgallery.com.au \n\nImage caption: Woolshed\, South Mokanger 1985

SUMMARY:The Largest Garage in Melbourne: Jas A Munro
DESCRIPTION:The Largest Garage in Melbourne: Jas A Munro\n  \nThe RHSV is delighted to welcome Ian Berg to deliver a talk based on his wonderful book\, shortlisted for the Victorian Community History Awards in 2021. \nJas Munro\, a Scottish immigrant\, established a series of successful businesses in Melbourne during the early part of the twentieth century. He was captivated by the emerging horseless carriage and became an influential figure in the motor trade. And he operated his businesses at the Munro site\, immediately next to the Queen Victoria Market. After more than a century\, the Munro site was purchased and is being redeveloped by the City of Melbourne. The Munro archives survived and have enabled Ian Berg to now tell the story. Jas A Munro & Co: The Largest Garage in Melbourne is testament to the life of an enterprising man in early twentieth-century Australia. It is also about early Melbourne\, the development of the motor business in Australia and the impact on business of a globally disruptive event – The Great War. \nIan will outline how\, by chance\, he came across the previously unseen archives and why he wrote the Munro story……… \nJas A Munro & Co: The Largest Garage in Melbourne can be purchased from the RHSV bookshop here \nThis book has just received a glowing review in The Automobile\, the UK bible for early motoring enthusiasts – click on the bookshop link above to read the review.

SUMMARY:Digging in to Family History How & Where with Peter Beer
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 23 November 2021 at 6.45pm for a 7pm start \nPlease book – the link for the session will be sent after booking \nTo book please call George Fernando  – 0448296258 or email – enquires@chs.org.au \nPeter Beer worked in the IT industry for over 30 years\, with almost 20 years living in Hong Kong and China. He speaks Mandarin. He held senior technical management roles leading teams across Asia and was always fascinated about leveraging data to assist sales\, problem and management processes.\nOver the past few years\, Peter has leveraged his IT and data analysis skills to uncover remarkable facts about his family history\, exploring what can be found online and through ‘networking’ to complement existing family history facts and folklore. 250+ days of lockdown certainly provided a lot of additional opportunity!\nThis presentation will cover some of these discoveries\, with a particular emphasis on ‘how’ this is relevant for attendees – highlighting the many sources and methods that Peter found vital to making major family history breakthroughs. It will also highlight why and where the history is relevant to attendees – for example covering various Melbourne architectural landmarks\, including the Spires of St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Comedy Theatre\, and numerous houses in Camberwell and Boroondara in general.

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock\nJillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these cataloguing clinics during the early days of COVID and they suit Zoom very well. The clinics run for an hour from 11am – 12noon on the 4th Thursday of each month. It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which\, as we all know\, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.  With our membership scattered across Australia please remember that this is Melbourne time – AEDT in summer and AEST in winter. \nJillian always prepares some material on some specific queries but questions are encouraged and\, remember\, a problem shared is a problem halved. The clinics are conversational in format rather than a seminar. If you are new to cataloguing or an old hand you will find plenty to interest you in these sessions. Jillian often has material which is emailed out to attendees after the clinic. \nThe last clinics for 2021 will be held (via Zoom) on: \n\nNov 25\, 2021 11AM\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting (this is applicable to all 10 clinics during 2021)\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86005954246?pwd=eUsyRlRxTE92bU5Wb3IzVjVIcmxKdz09 \nMeeting ID: 860 0595 4246\nPasscode: 217816 \nPlease remember to register otherwise we can’t send you material after the event. \nAnd remember to keep an eye out for these clinics in 2022.

SUMMARY:The Siege That Forged an Enduring Australian and Polish Friendship: The Rats of Tobruk
DESCRIPTION:At this very special event\, hear how the friendships forged in a small\, coastal town in northern Africa influenced Australia’s post-war migration and created lifelong bonds across cultures. \n  \nThe Shrine of Remembrance\, in partnership with the Institute of National Remembrance\, Poland\, presents a digital event on Saturday 27 November honouring the enduring legacy of the Australian and Polish Rats of Tobruk. \nJoin Dr Mark Johnston\, Professor Marek Wierzbicki and Lucyna Artymiuk as they discuss the shared experiences of the Australians and Poles in Tobruk and the impact on Australia’s migration and connection to Poland. \nBetween April and November 1941\, 14\,000 Australians were besieged within the Libyan fortress of Tobruk by a powerful Italo-German army. Ordered to deny Tobruk to the enemy for eight weeks\, the men held out for five months. Pro-Nazi propagandist and broadcaster Lord Haw Haw (William Joyce) described the defenders as ‘rats’—an insult which they adopted as a badge of honour. \nExhausted\, the Australian troops were progressively withdrawn from Tobruk between August and November 1941. Other troops including the Carpathian Brigade\, comprising soldiers who had escaped Poland after its conquest by the Nazis and Soviets in 1939\, relieved them. \nIt was the Poles who finally ended the siege when they captured Acroma and linked up with the British 8th Army. In recognition of this feat\, the Australians shared with the Poles their most venerated title. Henceforth\, the Poles too would be ‘Rats of Tobruk’. \nBetween 1947 and 1948\, Australian veterans of Tobruk helped sponsor the migration of 1\,500 Polish soldiers to Australia when it became impossible for these men to return to their homeland\, due to Soviet occupation. \n  \n  \nThis event will be live streamed on the  Shrine’s Facebook and YouTube channels. \n  \n  \nMore on the Speakers: \nLucyna Artymiuk is a second generation Polish Australian\, the daughter of a Polish airman who arrived on the third of five transports of Polish Immigrants after the Second World War. She Is currently a history PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne looking for the first time at Polish migrant soldier scheme to Australia in 1947–1948\, which was a litmus test for the implementation of mass migration of non-British migrants from the displaced person camps of Western Europe to Australia during the post-war reconstruction era. Lucyna has been a prominent member of the Polish Australian community for the past 30 years and is currently the Acting President of the Polish Museum and Archives in Australia.\nRecently she has authored her father’s biography From Poland to Where Ever in the World and in the process uncovered details of the post-war relationship between the Australian and Polish Rats of Tobruk that had not been documented or had been erased from the collective memory of the Polish and Australian veteran communities. \nDr Mark Johnston Mark is one of Australia’s leading authorities on the Second World War. He is the author of more than ten books\, including The Magnificent 9th: An Illustrated History Of The 9th Division 1940–46 and An Australian Band of Brothers which concerns Don Company of the2/43rd Battalion. The battalion fought in Tobruk\, El Alamein and New Guinea. Mark is the head of History\, Politics and Philosophy at Melbourne’s Scotch College. \nProfessor Marek Wierzbicki is a Polish historian and political scientist\, full professor\, lecturer at the Catholic University of Lublin (Faculty of Social Sciences); since 2007\, chief specialist (senior researcher) at the Institute of National Remembrance. His research interests include\, inter alia\, relations between the authorities and society in communist Poland\, ethnic relations under the Soviet occupation of Poland and Eastern Europe(1939–1941)\, the history of Polish political emigration after 1945 including wartime- military and civilian – exiles\, the social history of the 20th–21st centuries and the role and mentality of youth in both Eastern (communist) and Western (capitalist) Europe during the Cold War (1947–1991). One of his scholarly works is a biography of Zygmunt Szadkowski – one on the Polish Rats of Tobruk who became one of the leaders of the Polish political emigration after the Second World War. \n  \n  \nMedia Enquiries: \nInterviews with the speakers available upon request \n  \n  \nFor more information  \nAnna Lensky \nPitch Projects \n0425 766 780 \nanna@pitchprojects.com

SUMMARY:A WALK WITH ROBYN ANNEAR
DESCRIPTION:It is always exciting when Robyn Annear releases another of her captivating books into the wild and her latest book\, which releases on the 30th of November\, promises to be fabulous. Robyn has devised 7 historic walks around Melbourne and she will be leading a walking tour for RHSV members of one of those walks – around the Queen Victoria Markets and Flagstaff Gardens area. \nThe walk will be 90 minutes and finish with morning tea with Robyn. Because there is a limit of 15 for this walk we are limiting it to strictly just RHSV members. The walk will go ahead regardless of the weather so please be prepared for whatever Melbourne throws at us on the day. Wear comfortable shoes and carry some water. The starting point and ending point of the walk will be emailed to ticket-buyers. \n\n\nMelbourne’s streets have always been marvellous—but the proud facades of the nineteenth-century boom aren’t the half of it.\nWhat about the stories behind them?\nThe great corset scandal of Melbourne’s belle epoque;\nThe heritage-listed toilets out the back of the Rialto;\nThe exploits of the women who ran the brothels in Little Lonsdale Street;\nThe reason George Mallaby starred in Homicide wearing a hat two sizes too small. \nThis book contains a series of walks created by Robyn Annear to showcase the hidden histories we might scurry past every day\, the buildings now gone and the extraordinary characters who inhabited them.\nCharming\, erudite and frankly gossipy\, Annear’s highly entertaining guide to Melbourne past and present need not be experienced on the move. But whether you enjoy it from a tram stop or an armchair\, Adrift in Melbourne will inspire you to unleash your inner flâneur on the lurking surprises of this great city. \n\nThe other good news is that Robyn will be doing a virtual walk for us in 2022 so\, if you are not one of the lucky 15\, you will be able to join Robyn at the RHSV when she takes you on an armchair ride through the streets and laneways of Melbourne. This event will be publicised in early 2022 so keep an eye out. \n\nIf you want to buy Adrift in Melbourne (great Christmas present for any Melburnian) click here.
