SUMMARY:Beyond the Docks: The Oil Rigs Symposium
DESCRIPTION:A public forum for changing the way we see and understand ‘Maritime Melbourne and Victoria’\nJoin ‘Amphibious’ Curator and cultural programmer Valentina Bydanova\, partnering with RMIT early career Photographer Jesse Grey\, in the Beyond the Docks Symposium to explore the Bass Strait oil rigs and their history as a ‘community landscape’ or\, we should say\, seascape. \nThe discovery of the nation’s largest oil field in 1967; the Kingfish oil field (in the Gippsland Basin)\, changed Australia and Victoria’s industry and economy. However\, not many Melbournians/ Victorians know that Bass Strait is dotted with 22 oil rigs that provide Victoria with 60 per cent of its oil and gas needs. Still\, most of us rightfully have questions and opinions about these industrial complexes\, beyond the docks and beyond our view. Many wonder how oil rigs impact local and global environments\, and how the transition from extractive to more sustainable models of fuel will be actualised by local governments\, service providers\, global leaders – and ‘the people’. \nHosted by the Amphibious curatorial and photographic team\, this Symposium is designed for open\, critical and curious public discussion. The audience’s questions and conversations about this world-class infrastructure on our doorstep will shape the teams’ following documentary photographic expedition to capture the often-invisible world of the Gippsland Basin oil rigs. \nThe photographs taken\, and subsequent outdoor exhibition held at the Docklands\, will serve as visual answers to public questions raised about this infrastructure that currently powers our lives. \nThe Amphibious team needs your input: Shaping maritime Melbourne  \nCome to discuss and shape a new approach to creating art and conversation about under-represented local marine-maritime spaces. The Amphibious team believes that we can position local waterways as cultural theatres of exchange and encounter\, to inspire greater public appreciation of Melbourne as a maritime city. \nThis symposium organised by Amphibious’ Curator\, Valentina Bydanova\, will be an in-person event only. Light refreshments will be served and there will be a display of material from the RHSV collection which is related to Bass Strait oil rigs. \n \nImage captions: \nOffshore Platform Marlin B (ExxonMobil Australia) \nBass Strait Oil and Gas System (ExxonMobil Australia 2022)

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. Does the King really own all the swans? Were medieval animals put on trial? And should animals (in captivity or otherwise) be treated like people? 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

SUMMARY:HUGH ANDERSON LECTURE DELIVERED BY PROFESSOR SHEILA FITZPATRICK
DESCRIPTION:Haven for Holocaust Survivors: “Wanda Court”\, a Melbourne Suburban Ethnography of the 1940s and ’50s\nWe are thrilled that eminent historian Professor Sheila Fitzpatrick will deliver the 2nd Hugh Anderson Lecture in the RHSV’s Distinguished Lecturer series. Sheila turns her historian’s gaze to the block of flats where she grew up and where most other residents were European Jewish refugees.  \nSheila Fitzpatrick is primarily a historian of modern Russia\, especially the Stalin period\, who received her B.A. (Hons.) at the University of Melbourne and her D. Phil. at St. Antony’s College\, Oxford. In recent years she has added a transnational dimension with her research on Russian migration to Australia. She received a Mellon Foundation Distinguished Achievement Award in 2002 and the American Historical Association’s Award for Scholarly Distinction in 2012. She is past President of the Association for Slavic\, East European and Eurasian Studies (formerly AAASS) and a member of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She was based in the US for many years\, latterly as Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago\, before her return to Australia in 2012. \nHer recent books include Tear off the Masks! Identity and Imposture in Twentieth-Century Russia (2005)\, A Spy in the Archives: A Memoir of Cold-War Russia (2014); On Stalin’s Team: the Years of Living Dangerously in Soviet Politics (co-winner of 2016 Prime Minister’s Award for Non-Fiction)\, and Mischka’s War: A European Odyssey of the 1940s (2017\, short-listed for 2018 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction). With Mark Edele and Atina Grossmann\, she co-edited and co-authored Shelter From the Holocaust. Rethinking Jewish Survival in the Soviet Union (2017). Her book\, White Russians\, Red Peril: A Cold War History of Migration was published by Black\, Inc.\, Melbourne\, in 2021; followed by The Shortest History of the Soviet Union in 2022. She is currently working on a monograph\, Displacement: Repatriation and Resettlement of Russian and Soviet Displaced Persons after the Second World War\, and a biography of Lenin’s wife\, Nadezhda Krupskaya. \nHugh Anderson (1927-2017) was a scholar of formidable breadth\, productivity and versatility. While it is as a folklorist that he is arguably best known both in Australia and abroad\, Anderson’s prolific output also included biography\, bibliography\, history\, school textbooks and documentary collections. His range of interests was very wide: Anderson seemed as comfortable in writing about John Pascoe Fawkner as Squizzy Taylor\, as at home with an Aboriginal gumleaf player and a Sydney street poet as with the exquisite verse of John Shaw Neilson or the stately poetry of Bernard O’Dowd. Anderson’s historical and biographical writing incorporated many of the materials\, perspectives and insights derived from folklore studies\, and he treated literary creativity as central to telling the Melbourne\, Victorian and Australian stories. Anderson’s boundary-riding between history\, biography\, folklore and literature was remarkably productive for him\, and it was not unusual among writers with his radical-nationalist politics in the middle decades of the twentieth century. (An edited version of material written by Professor Frank Bongiorno) \n  \nThis event is offered both in person at the RHSV and also via ZOOM. Those who are attending by ZOOM will be sent their log-in details 24 hours prior to the event. \nAs with all RHSV events\, we serve refreshments from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture will start. 6pm is also when the ZOOM broadcast will start. \nPhoto: courtesy of ABC Radio\, Conversations with Richard Fidler.

SUMMARY:Off the Drawing Board\, a National Archives of Australia seminar
DESCRIPTION:For History Month\, the National Archives of Australia are partnering once again with the RHSV to present\, Off the Drawing Board\, where members and friends can discover more about the history of their local community through Victorian architectural drawings. \nDid you know that National Archives holds thousands of architectural drawings for public buildings across Australia and Victoria? Dating back as early as 1849\, these drawings document not only famous Melbourne landmarks but also humbler suburban and rural facilities\, such as local post offices and drill halls. This makes these drawings an invaluable resource for anyone researching local history and heritage. Many of the drawings are also beautiful works of art in their own right. \nHYBRID EVENT: For those attending in person at the Victorian Archives Centre\, this talk will be followed by a special tour of the ‘Collective City’ exhibition now on display there. Members and friends can also join the talk via ZOOM. \n

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:St John The Baptist: Centenary of Consecration and Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Centenary of Consecration and Book Launch\nWhen: 8 October 2023 at 11.00am\nWhere:61 Queens Parade\, Clifton Hill\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. \nSunday 8 October will be witness to a concelebrated Mass. It will be followed by the launch of St. John the Baptist’s: a church and its community\, written by author and historian\, Dr. John Andrews and published by Coventry Press. Proceeds will aid an art restoration fund for paintings in the church. A parish celebration will be held afterwards. \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 \n

SUMMARY:CURATOR'S TOUR OF GARRYOWEN'S MELBOURNE WITH DR LIZ RUSHEN
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BOOKED OUT BUT THERE IS ANOTHER SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY 28 NOVEMBER AT 2PM. BOOK HERE \nHistorian Dr Liz Rushen will take you behind the scenes of our current exhibition\, Garryowen’s Melbourne which Liz curated. The exhibition grew out of the research Liz had done for her book\, Garryowen Unmasked: The Life of Edmund Finn\, which was launched earlier this year and was aided by her deep knowledge of the RHSV collection and its treasures. \nThe tour will be followed by afternoon tea.\nEdmund Finn (1819-98)\, Irish immigrant\, journalist\, raconteur and eyewitness to the development of the Port Phillip District\, is best known as ‘Garryowen’\, author of The Chronicles of Early Melbourne 1835-1852. His lively writing\, essential to any appreciation of pre-separation Victoria\, brings to life this often-neglected period and place. Yet little has been written about the man himself\, his actions or attitudes\, or the influences that shaped him. \nFinn’s exposure to troubled times in Ireland during his youth was a major influence on his later politics and world view. Migrating to Melbourne in 1841\, this well-educated man lived for more than fifty years in colonial Melbourne\, passionate about his religion\, actively engaged with his community while never forgetting the home he had left behind. This book explores the life of this talented man and the ways in which he contributed to the creation of a new society in Melbourne through his writing\, his speeches and his leadership of the St Patrick’s Society. \n“An important chronicler of early Melbourne\, the Irish journalist Edmund Finn has been unjustly neglected. A detailed study of his life and work is overdue\, and therefore Dr Rushen’s book is to be welcomed.” Professor Elizabeth Malcolm\, FASSA\, FRHistS\, University of Melbourne \n  \nThis is a History Month event \n \n

SUMMARY:Emerging Historians: The element of surprise in historical research
DESCRIPTION:As part of History Month we partner with Professional Historians Association (Victoria & Tasmania) to host an event where three historians talk about a moment of amazing coincidence or serendipity in their research – it could be coming across a vital piece of information or finding just the right contact or network\, seemingly by chance. It is always a great night to hear from young historians who research a remarkably wide range of subjects. \nThe hosts for the evening are Andrew Lemon for the RHSV and Sophie Couchman for PHA. \n  \n \nSpeakers: \n\nKylie Andrews – Searching for the ABC’s ‘lost’ women producers\n\nWhat was it like to work at the ABC in the 1950s and 1960s? More specifically\, what was it like to work at the national broadcaster if one was an ambitious\, outspoken woman?  In this presentation Kylie Andrews will share some insights into what she discovered when writing her book\, ‘Trailblazing Women of Australian Public Broadcasting\, 1945-1975’. Drawing on voices from the past\, Kylie will discuss how certain methods proved vital in unearthing surprising evidence\, evidence that resuscitates women’s forgotten contributions to radio and television in Australia in the post-war decades.\nKylie Andrews is a consulting historian and researcher whose work spans a range of historical fields and formats. She writes about Australian media and communications and produces commissioned histories for corporate\, industry and philanthropic organisations. With a passion for studying media\, gender and production cultures through biography\, Kylie has recently written a women’s history of the ABC\, titled ‘Trailblazing Women of Australian Public Broadcasting\, 1945-1975’.\n\n\n\n \n\nNicole Davis – In Arcadia: Finding the Owners of Nineteenth-Century Arcades in Australia\n\nAlthough nineteenth-century arcades in Australia are often viewed as feminine spaces for women to gather and shop in comfort\, it is usually men that are identified as those who built and owned these buildings. However\, deeper investigation into a variety of archival records reveals that a number of these were the inspiration of or funded by women. At times their ownership is fully acknowledged in print media but\, more often\, their husbands\, relatives or other men are credited as the entrepreneurs inspired to build and who ran them. In this talk\, Nicole Davis will discuss some famous and some forgotten arcades in Australia\, the women that owned or ran them\, and the ways that archives can reveal unexpected stories of women’s involvement in business and property ownership.\nNicole Davis received her PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2023. Her research interests centre on urban history and heritage\, with a particular focus on Australian urban spaces and their connections to the wider world. She has a Masters in Museum Studies from the University of Sydney\, has worked as a curator in Sydney and Melbourne museums\, and has taught Heritage & Museum Studies at Masters Level. Nicole is a research assistant in School of Historical & Philosophical Studies\, part of a team working on the ARC LIEF\, Time Layered Cultural Map of Australia (LE230100079)\, and Research Fellow at Melbourne Graduate School of Education at University of Melbourne\, investigating the archiving and sharing of qualitative research data.\n\n\n\n \n\nMiranda Francis – Footscray High School creche – oral histories and archives.\n\nIn this presentation\, Miranda Francis will use the micro- history of the Footscray High School creche to illuminate women’s changing experience of work and family life in the 1970s. Comparing archival documents and oral history interviews she will reveal the complex interconnections between novel ideas and conservative resistance\, and local action and public policy.

Photograph courtesy Jillian Hargreaves.)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMiranda Francis received her BA in History from the University of Melbourne in 1994 and MHist (focused on oral history and heritage) from Monash University in 2010. She is in the final stages of a PhD thesis at La Trobe University (Mothers Remember: An Oral History) which uses oral history to explore how mothers in suburban Melbourne in the second half of the twentieth century remembered the emotions and experiences of motherhood. She has been an academic librarian for over twenty years\, in Melbourne (RMIT and Monash universities) and in Morocco (Al-Akhawayn University\, Ifrane). She has published widely in journals such as Provenance\, Oral History (UK)\, Victorian Historical Journal and Oral History Australia Journal and a book chapter in Feminist Perspectives on Young Mothers and Young Mothering.\n\n\n\n \nHousekeeping \nThis event will be hybrid – both delivered in person at the RHSV’s Drill Hall home and via Zoom. For those booking Zoom tickets\, the log-in details will be sent to you 24 hours prior to the event. \nFrom 5:30pm to 6pm\, as with most RHSV events\, we’ll be serving refreshments before the lecture starts at 6pm. \nAn automatic confirmation email is sent to you on booking – please check your Spam or Junk Mail in-box as these emails often go astray. \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:Making It Here: Stories of Four Enterprising Immigrant Engineers.
DESCRIPTION:Much has been written about the halcyon days of manufacturing in Fishermans Bend during the post-war period. This talk explores its antecedents through the lives of four\, largely forgotten\, engineers who made significant contributions to the rise of manufacturing there during the first half of the 20th century: Otto Schumacher\, Alfred Harman\, Albert Longoni and Fred David. \nThey learnt their craft in America\, Britain\, and Europe respectively before making their mark in Port Melbourne. Two founded manufacturing businesses here while the other two made pivotal contributions to existing firms. The innovative machines they designed and developed ranged from steam-powered winches and excavators to flour milling and food processing equipment\, from large cranes and systems for handling bulk materials to designing an urgently needed fighter aircraft. \nThe talk aims to evoke a sense of what it means to engineer. The emphasis is on people and place as much as it is on technical matters. The story of each engineer includes their family background and formative years. Their engineering achievements are set against the prevailing social\, cultural\, and geopolitical context and major events in their personal life. \nAlthough the locus of the stories is Port Melbourne encompassing Fishermans Bend\, the matters covered\, and the issues raised around manufacturing\, are universal. Themes that run through the stories of these four engineers speak to education and industry policy today. \nDavid Radcliffe is a Professor Emeritus at Purdue University where he was the head of the School of Engineering Education. A mechanical engineer\, his scholarly interests over a forty-year career in Australia and the US centred on the nature of engineering as a profession\, its history and practice\, and how engineering knowledge and identity are formed. Since retiring\, David has undertaken local history investigations in the Port Melbourne area. He published Changing Fortunes in 2021\, a social history of a precinct within the suburb and has written articles on the engineering heritage of the district. His new book\, Making it Here\, is due for release later this year. \nThe RHSV is delighted to co-present this event with Engineering Heritage Victoria. \n  \nHousekeeping \nWhen you book a ticket you will be sent an automatic email confirmation – these emails often go astray\, ending up in your Spam or Junk Mail in-box – please check there. \nIf you have booked to attend via ZOOM\, we will send you the ZOOM log-in details about 24 hours prior to the event. \nAs with most RHSV events\, we serve refreshments from 5:30pm – 6pm when the lecture starts. \nThis is a History Month event
