SUMMARY:The Plight of St Kilda’s 19th Century Servants
DESCRIPTION:In this fascinating and insightful presentation – St Kilda Historical Society’s first public event of 2022 – Carmel McKenzie will examine the living conditions and power dynamics of servants in nineteenth century St Kilda\, drawing on numerous case studies gleaned from primary sources. The research forms part of her soon to be published book: St Kilda 1841-1900: Movers and Shakers and Money-makers. \nReflecting its wealth\, St Kilda boasted the highest number of resident servants of any Melbourne suburb for much of the nineteenth century. Most were indentured under contracts that bound them to their employer for several years and those who left before completing their term committed a crime and risked forfeiting their wages. Female servants were expected to remain childless\, a stricture that led to the highest rate of infanticide in St Kilda outside of central Melbourne. \nKindly note:  We will be maintaining the mask requirement for this event. \nCost $10 – Booking Essential. Limited places. \nBookings: Plights of St Kilda’s 19th Century servants – public Tickets\, St Kilda Army and Navy Club\, St Kilda | TryBooking Australia

SUMMARY:ADRIFT IN AN ARMCHAIR WITH ROBYN ANNEAR
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne’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. \nRobyn Annear has devised 7 historic walks around Melbourne and\, in this event\, she will be taking us on one of those 7 walks\, albeit whilst we are seated comfortably at the RHSV with a glass of wine in hand. The walks showcase the hidden histories we might scurry past every day\, the buildings now gone and the extraordinary characters who inhabited them. Robyn\, as always\, will be charming\, erudite and frankly gossipy. \n\n\nAll seven walks appear in Robyn’s latest book\, Adrift in Melbourne\, her highly entertaining guide to Melbourne past and present. Whether you enjoy it on the hoof or from an armchair\, Adrift in Melbourne will inspire you to unleash your inner flâneur to uncover the historical surprises of this great city. \n\n\nIf you want to buy Adrift in Melbourne (great present for any Melburnian) click here. \nAs with all RHSV events held on-site\, we will serve drinks from 5:30pm until 6pm when Robyn’s talk will begin. \nIn 2022 we will be attempting to offer both on-site events and Zoom access too. The talk will be available as a download after the event for the same $10 cost as a ticket. \nThis is an RHSV Women’s History Month event

SUMMARY:Unprotected: Aboriginal\, Convict and Poor women in Colonial Victoria: or how everything bad was made worse by being female
DESCRIPTION:Protection of body and soul in colonial Victoria came in many forms. At the most fundamental level it meant an entitlement\, usually by birth or marriage\, to an income that sustained you and your children; to a moral status as a woman of virtue that made sexual assault or abuse an egregious version of a crime; to the presence in your household of a capable male to embody that protection. The law provided some protection\, but in fact remarkably little against assault\, battery and rape if those offences were perpetrated by your husband and did not protect your rights of access to your children after divorce or access to your own wealth after marriage. A woman without a reliable\, effective and respectable male protector as breadwinner—a father\, a husband or a blood relative—would die younger; lose more of her children; have smaller babies at birth; suffer more infertility; risk or suffer destitution; be afflicted by addiction; commit suicide or be murdered than women who enjoyed respectable male protection. There was a hierarchy of entitlement to safety\, with convicted women on the second bottom rung along with non-British women such as Chinese\, while at the bottom\, utterly vulnerable were Aboriginal women and girls. These were the penalties of gender rather than the wages of sin. \nWe are honoured that Professor Janet McCalman has accepted our invitation to deliver the third RHSV Women’s History Month Lecture in 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmeritus Redmond Barry Professor Janet McCalman AC has made a significant contribution to Australian history\, especially medical history\, historical population health\, social health and demography. \nShe commenced teaching at the University of Melbourne in 1998\, in the cross-faculty Centre for the Study of Health & Society. She has taught in both the Arts Faculty and the Faculty of Medicine\, Dentistry and Health Sciences\, specialising since 2008 in the teaching of interdisciplinary breadth subjects. \nSince that time she has also pioneered the building of historical life course datasets for demographic and health analysis. She is the author of three multi-award winning books: Struggletown (1984\, 1998 and 2021)\, Journeying (1993)\, Sex and Suffering (1998). In 2020 she co-edited with Emma Dawson What Happens Next? Reconstructing Australia after COVID 19 and in 2021 Vandemonians: the repressed history of colonial Victoria. All her books have been published by Melbourne University Press. She retired at the end of 2020. \nIn 1993 McCalman was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia in 2005. She is a former member of the Australian Historical Association Advisory Committee to the National Archives of Australia and the Editorial Board of the Australian Dictionary of Biography. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs at most RHSV events\, drinks will be served from 5:30pm and the lecture will run from 6pm to 7pm including Q&A. The Zoom lecture will commence at 6pm. \nThe RHSV offers ticket buyers to this event a $10 discount on buying Janet McCalman’s Vandemonians or Struggletown both of which can be found in our bookshop. A voucher code will be sent to you on booking and you apply this voucher code when checking out of the bookshop on line. \nDr Judith Smart will chair this lecture. \nThis is a Women’s History Month Lecture

SUMMARY:‘Wings of Peace’ Centenary of Australia’s First Official Air Race\, Serpentine Victoria
DESCRIPTION:After the Great European War of 1914 to 1918 and amount of £25\,000\,000 (pounds) was being sought by the Australian Commonwealth Government through a bond subscription from the people of Australia – ‘The Second Peace Loan’.   The Acting Treasurer\, Sir Joseph Cook announced this on 7th July 1920 with the funds to be expended on the repatriation of the uniformed soldier to industrial and civilian pursuits in the community.   Each State was given a target. Victoria was expected to contribute £8\,200\,000 (pounds). The introduction of Australian Flying Corp aeroplanes utilising World War I aviators was a novel way to generate interest in the Peace Loan and help the one-month intense promotion of the bonds.  To promote the 1920 event pilots travelled by train on the Tandarra\, Dingee\, Prairie\, Mitiamo rail line and addressed local residents on the importance of supporting the Second Peace Loan.    Bank officials and ex-servicemen accompanied these trains or followed in a car to promote the Peace Loan and sign new subscribers.    East Loddon Shire residents and businesses had a target of £19\,000 (pounds) to raise which they achieved in August 1920. \nAfter winning the race on 27th August 1920\, pilot\, Lieut. William Harold Treloar\, flew back to Serpentine on the 2nd October 1920 to be presented with a silver trophy by Cr. Nicholas Tonkin\, President of the East Loddon Shire.  The Serpentine district community residents subscribed £40 (pounds) to purchase the trophy.  The historic trophy has been housed at Point Cook Air Museum and is being especially flown in for the day by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF)\, No. 100 Squadron newly re-formed as the Air Force Heritage Squadron and reestablished at the Centenary of the RAAF\, which was formed on March 31\, 1921.   The day will be jam packed full of aviation history with tiger moths\, iconic Australian Warbirds\, CAC WIRRAWAY\, the Grumman Avenger the heaviest single engine aircraft of WWII\, the T-28 Trojan a piston-engined military trainer used by United States Air Force and Navy\, beginning in the 1950s. \nThis will be a 70-mile air race launching from (temporary) ‘Serpentine Airfield’ Loddon Valley Highway.   Tiger Moth pilots/owners from around the country will converge on Serpentine Airfield and as part of the celebrations\, the skies over the Serpentine will roar into life with heart-stopping Aerobatic & historical warbirds presented by Paul Bennet Airshows and the Royal Australian Air Force’s aerobatic display team\, the ROULETTES who are famous worldwide for their high-octane displays of formation flying\, aerobatics\, and low-level flying that show just what incredible feats Air Force fighter pilots are capable of.   The Roulettes now perform their display in the state-of-the-art Pilatus PC-21\, one of the most advanced training aircraft in the world. Flying as low as 80m and at speeds of up to 685km/h and with forces up to 6G’s\, the Roulettes can perform as close as 3m to each other.   \nSerpentine Airfield is located 6kms south of Serpentine\, Loddon Valley Highway between Bendigo and Kerang.  You won’t find it on any maps as it’s not a full-time airfield. It’s a beautiful grass field perfectly suited to host a historical air race.   Feature attractions – Vintage Bi-Plane Air Race\, Paul Bennet Air Shows Vintage Aircraft and Vintage Displays.  A shuttle bus from Bendigo and Swan Hill (bookings essential *Option to purchase bus ticket will pop up after you add your ticket to your cart).\nAdult $35\nChild $15 (6 to 16yrs)\nFamily $80 (2 adults\, 2 children)\nConcession $35\nChildren 5 years old and younger do not require a ticket.\nBuy online and SAVE!\nTickets will be $40 at the gate on the day.

SUMMARY:FROM RESTRICTED TO ASSISTED: MALTESE MIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA
DESCRIPTION:Explore the history of Maltese migration to Australia during the twentieth century. \nDid you know that migration from Malta was once heavily restricted because the Maltese were seen as a threat to ‘white Australia’? Yet\, after WWII\, Malta was one of the first countries with which Australia signed an assisted migration agreement. This webinar will explore the intriguing history of Maltese migration to Australia during the twentieth century\, using case studies from the National Archives’ collection to highlight how perceptions and policies changed over time. \nPresented by Patrick Ferry (National Archives of Australia) and Luis Calleja (Monash University)\, in collaboration with the RHSV and the Genealogical Society of Victoria. \nThis event is one in a series of free Zoom seminars presented by the National Archives of Australia to members of both the RHSV and the GSV. \nThis event\, held on Harmony Day\, is a celebration of Australia’s Multiculturalism. \n  \n         \nPhoto captions for two images above from the National Archives of Australia’s collection \nCarmela Abela and her children\, who migrated from Malta in 1954.

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.\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.\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.

SUMMARY:VINTAGE HOTELWARE with DI SANDILANDS
DESCRIPTION:When table manners were fashionable\, eating houses proudly served meals on crockery emblazoned with their establishment name – each mouthful reminding customers of exactly where they were. \nDi Sandilands is a curious girl\, and has been fossicking for these cups\, plates\, jugs and alike for years. Some even have their own “pubcrock” Instagram and Facebook page. \nAlong the way she’s discovered the research value of a box of matches\, learnt a bit of Italian and become pretty good at deciphering initials – although there’s an 1895 teapot with “S.Y.P.S.S.” idling in her mystery box. \nShe’s also developed an abiding affection for Coles Cafeteria\, which introduced dining out to the people of Melbourne in 1930\, and was at the beginning of our cherished ‘Cafe Culture’. \nJoin Di for a fun night when she’ll be displaying many Victorian pieces from her vintage hotelware collection\, telling their stories and hers. She’ll also be selling her pure linen Coles Cafeteria art tea towels which are printed with each cafeteria location throughout Australia. \nDrinks are served from 5:30pm and the Di’s talk will start at 6pm\, finishing at 7pm. \n  \nThis is a Women’s History Month event

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinics 2022
DESCRIPTION:Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these free 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 clinics in 2022 will be held (via Zoom) on: \n\nMar 24\, 2022 11:00 AM                 For this seminar Jillian has been asked to speak about “how to \n                                                         say no to donations”! So she’ll be talking about how you can \n                                                         develop a Collections Policy or a Collection Development \n                                                         Strategy and other tools for defining what you collect and what\n                                                         you don’t collect. \n        Apr 28\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        May 26\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Jun 23\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Jul 28\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Aug 25\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Sep 22\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Oct 27\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Nov 24\, 2022 11:00 AM\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85662066892?pwd=L2REVUhtZmtHblM0ZjV0ZDNxN3FkUT09 \nMeeting ID: 856 6206 6892 \nPasscode: 227214 \nAlthough\, we provide the Zoom details above\, please do remember to register otherwise we cannot email you material after the event.

SUMMARY:61st Annual Pioneer Women’s Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:As 2022 is the 120th Anniversary of National Council of Women Victoria (NCWV)\, we will focus on pioneering women who established Victorian women organisations and those who have continued these organisations up until today. \nDr Judith Smart AM\, co-author of the history of the NCW Australia\, Stirrers with Style will give an overview of the history of women’s organisations\, then a panel of speakers from some of the founding groups of NCWV will talk about their beginnings and where they are today. \nThe Pioneer Women’s Memorial Garden is a garden of remembrance created in Kings Domain as part of the 1934 celebration of the Centenary of Melbourne. A variety of fundraising ventures occurred\, including producing and selling a commemorative book\, and receiving public subscriptions to have a particular woman’s name inscribed on a “sheet of remembrance”\, buried beneath the sundial in the garden. The garden was designed by Hugh Linaker and is a formal\, symmetrical garden traversed by a watercourse. This flows into a grotto which contains a bronze statue of a woman by the sculptor Charles Web Gilbert. \nThis is a COVID safe event\, with distancing and sanitising. Please notify NCWV of your attendance on info@ncwvic.org.au \nThis is a Women’s History Month event

SUMMARY:CONNECTING HISTORICAL SOCIETIES AND PRIMARY SCHOOLS
DESCRIPTION:In 2022 the RHSV\, along with many other organisations\, will be pulling out all stops to celebrate the sesquicentenary of the Education Act 1872. This ground-breaking legislation mandated that primary education in Victoria would be free\, secular and compulsory. \nThe Dept of Education is encouraging primary schools to partner with their local historical societies – so  we are encouraging historical societies to contact their local primary school and plan some activities. Which is easy to say but what activities are age appropriate? How do we make them fit the curriculum? Who do we contact? What is an appropriate length of time for an event? Do we go to the primary school or do they come to us? Do we let small children handle objects from our collection? How do we make an event interesting? \nIn this forum we will be talking about all aspects of creating and holding events that engage primary school aged children. We intend to have several case studies from historical societies who are already successfully working with their local students. \nThis will be a structured discussion and we want everyone to come away with good ideas that their historical society can use to connect with their local primary school. Whilst this is aimed at 2022 and the celebration of education across Victoria the ideas should be adaptable for every year and every situation. \nIf you’d like to present a case-study or you have ideas you’d like to share please contact Rosemary Cameron

SUMMARY:A G L SHAW LECTURE: The Barristers of the Port Phillip District\, 1839-1851
DESCRIPTION:The first barristers arrived in Melbourne in 1839\, the same year as Charles La Trobe\, but only 14 were admitted to practice before 1851. Separation from NSW and the discovery of gold totally transformed the Bar\, with fifty new barristers being admitted by 1854. All came from the United Kingdom and brought with them the traditions\, ethics and etiquette of the English\, Irish and Scottish bars\, though these transplanted somewhat uneasily to the rough and ready makeshift courts of the goldfields. \nSpeaker Peter Yule\, one of Australia’s leading historians\, is a member of the RHSV Council\, and of the La Trobe Society. He is an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies\, University of Melbourne. His most recent publication\, Vic Bar\, a commissioned major history of the Victorian Bar from its earliest days in the late 1830s to the present\, has just been published by Australian Scholarly Publishing. His lecture in honour of Professor AGL Shaw will give insights into the legal system in Port Phillip from the 1830s to Separation in 1851. \nThe AGL Shaw Lecture is presented each year by the RHSV and the La Trobe Society and forms part of the RHSV’s annual Distinguished Lecturer Series. A list of previous lecturers can be viewed here. \n\n\n\n\nPeter Yule studied and taught history at the University of Melbourne before moving to Warrnambool where he worked in a family business while also writing histories of Warrnambool\, Koroit and the Shire of Minhamite. Since 1996 he has worked as a freelance historian\, publishing over twenty books including acclaimed histories of Australian National Airways\, the Collins class submarine project\, and Vietnam veterans since the war\, and biographies of W L Baillieu and Sir Ian Potter. His histories of the Royal Children’s Hospital and Carlton won best print/publication and best collaborative work categories respectively in the Victorian Community History Awards. He is a Fellow of the RHSV\, an honorary history fellow at the University of Melbourne and a member of the Warrnambool\, Koroit\, Port Fairy and Mortlake Historical Societies. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to welcome all those interested in Melbourne’s legal history and encourage them to attend our public lectures.\nThe RHSV is on the edge of Melbourne’s legal district on the corner of William Street and A’Beckett Street. As with all RHSV events\, Refreshments are served before the lecture from 6:30pm and the lecture will start at 7pm.\n\nRHSV members please note that this lecture has a later start time than most RHSV events. Refreshments are served from 6:30pm and the lecture will start at 7pm. Also please note that this lecture will not be offered via Zoom.\n\n\nPeter’s book\, VIC BAR\, a history of the Victorian Bar will be available for purchase on the night.

SUMMARY:Lighter Than Air - book launch with Helene Rogers
DESCRIPTION:The Richmond & Burnley Historical Society is launching Helene Rogers’ book\, Lighter Than Air. \nFledgling balloonists in nineteenth century Australia realised that their aerial endeavours added little to their pockets\, or to science. Re-inventing themselves as showmen and women\, they performed daring acrobatics from trapezes and parachutes\, touring towns and cities all over the country. George Coppin introduced the earliest balloon flight in Richmond’s Cremorne Gardens. \nA magnificent book that captures the amazing history of early flight in Australia.  \nBookings essential 9427 1800 or email richmondhs@optusnet.com.au

SUMMARY:The Life and Art of Penleigh Boyd by Colin Smith
DESCRIPTION:Colin Smith will be the guest speaker at the Brighton Cemetorian’s 2022 AGM. He will speak on The Life and Art of Penleigh Boyd   \nTheodore Penleigh Boyd (15 August 1890 – 27 November 1923) was a British born Australian artist. \nPenleigh Boyd was a member of the Boyd artistic dynasty: his parents Arthur Merric Boyd (1862–1940) and Emma Minnie Boyd (née à Beckett) were well-known artists of the day\, and his brothers included the ceramicist Merric Boyd (1888–1959) and the novelist Martin Boyd (1893–1972). His son Robin Boyd (1919–1971) became a famous and influential architect\, educator and social commentator\, and his nephews Arthur Boyd\, Guy Boyd and David Boyd became prominent artists. \nPenleigh Boyd is best known as a landscapist with an accomplished handling of evanescent effects of light. A notable influence was artist E. Phillips Fox\, who introduced him to plein air techniques when they were neighbours in Paris in 1912–3. At his death his obituarists compared him to Arthur Streeton and rated him as one of the most promising painters of his generation. \nEvent to be held at the Camden Hotel in the Upstairs Function Room  – 414 Hawthorn Rd\, Caulfield South at 1pm. Refreshments will be served – please advise if any dietary requirements. \nRing 9558 4248 [Bookings essential]

SUMMARY:Prisoners of the Japanese: Personal stories from WW2 service records
DESCRIPTION:Anzac Day 1942: As Australia stopped to remember the sacrifices of war\, over 22\,000 Australian service personnel were prisoners of the Japanese\, having been recently captured in Malaya\, Singapore\, Timor and New Guinea. Their families back home waited anxiously for news\, which often never came. In this webinar\, Patrick Ferry from the National Archives of Australia draws on original defence service records and treasured family archives to tell the personal stories of several POWs from one small rural Victorian community. \nTo honour Anzac Day the National Archives of Australia will present this fascinating seminar in partnership with the RHSV and the Genealogical Society of Victoria. \nImage caption: Extract from original Japanese list of Australian POWs and Internees who perished when the Montevideo Maru was sunk in 1942.

SUMMARY:LGBTIQ+ Inclusion in the history of the Australian Defence Force
DESCRIPTION:Australian Defence Force policies banned lesbian\, gay and bisexual people from serving until November 1992 and transgender people until September 2010. Yet\, there is a long history of their service\, as the Australian military evolved from an institution that actively persecuted LGBTIQ+ members to one that actively welcomes and values their contributions. \nJoin historian Noah Riseman – co-author of Pride in Defence (2020) and Serving in Silence? (2018) – as he provides an overview of Australian LGBTIQ+ military service\, past and present.

SUMMARY:Public Symposium: Australasia & the Global Turn in Architectural History Symposium
DESCRIPTION:A symposium exploring the expansion of the new edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture that encompass Australasia \nConvened by Macarena de la Vega de León and Paul Walker\, this event will be held in person at the Melbourne School of Design\, and on Zoom. Note\, not all panellists will be in person at the Symposium \nLink will be made available after registration. \nThe writing of architectural history shifted with the turn of the twenty-first century. Theoretical and methodological reassessments\, as well as the study of postcolonial theories in architecture\, challenged the previously accepted disciplinary canon and made the development of a global history of architecture urgent. More than twenty years later\, there has been resulting literature\, disciplinary reassessments\, and continuous debate around the meaning of global in the history of architecture. One of the latest additions to the field\, the new edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s rebranded as Global History of Architecture (2019)\, is proof of the continuous scholarly interest in reframing the global. \nAlthough historians of architecture in the region have contributed their expertise in the Global South to some of the resulting publications\, there is still a limited presence of an Australasian perspective. In general\, the field continues to present challenges in combining these geographies and cultures\, in defining the notion of region\, in the periodization of narratives and in capturing transnational connections. The aim of this event is twofold: on the one hand\, to celebrate the publication of Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture highlighting the Australasian contributions to the volume; on the other\, to open a wider discussion on the global issues of gender\, race and migration in architecture that continue to have a limited presence in global narratives. To critically review the most recent literature on the global is necessary to inform next steps. \n  \nSession 1_ Wednesday 27 April\, 9am-10.45am \nMurray Fraser\, “A Provisional\, Collectivised Global History.”\nVimalin Rujivacharakul\, “Buildings of the Oceans: Ephemerality and Monumentality in Architectural History.”\nDeidre Brown\, “Decolonising and Indigenising Architectural History.”\nAmanda Achmadi and Paul Walker\, “Writing architecture across colonial borders: ‘Southeast Asia\, Australia and the Pacific\, 1780-1914.’”\nPhilip Goad\, “Time for Global Reassessment: Architectural Histories of Southeast Asia\, Australasia and Oceania.” \nSession 2_ Wednesday 27 April\, 11am.-12.30pm \nMark Jarzombek\, “Beyond History?”\nVikram Prakash\, “Eventualities: The Agency of Architectural Historiography in Decolonization.”\nJoanna Merwood-Salisbury\, “Race and the Historiography of American Architecture.”\nMirjana Lozanovska\, “Theory + History = Historiography.”\nKaren Burns and Lori Brown\, “Women\, Global History\, and the Nation State.” \nBOOK HERE \n  \nMurray Fraser (pictured) is Professor of Architecture and Global Culture at UCL’s Bartlett School of Architecture\, and Chair of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain. In 2008 his book Architecture and the ‘Special Relationship’ won the RIBA Research Award and CICA Bruno Zevi Book Prize.
