SUMMARY:Anzac Day Walk at the Brighton Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Our Annual Anzac Walk relates to stories of a few of the many service persons interred at the Brighton General Cemetery. On this walk we get to know just a few of those lying within the walls at the Brighton Cemetery. Edward William Pinder was awarded the Distinguished Combat Medal for his bravery for taking a message to the Officer in Charge and returning with much needed reserves\, Samuel Ettingove who wrote an impassioned letter and being granted naturalisation so that he could enlist as an Australian\, Sir John Monash who became one of Australia’s most notable Military figures. These are just a few of those we will be paying homage to. \nThis walk begins near the office

During his research\, as part of a Japan Studies Grant at the National Library of Australia\, Gwyn made vital discoveries in older literature\, that helped him bring together his research. \nRebecca Le Get has just completed her PhD on the environmental history of tuberculos sanatoria in Victoria\, and will show us a snapshot of the inside working of Greenvale Sanatorium in the 1910s\, and the archival research that made this possible.\n\nDeb Lee-Talbot is a PhD candidate\, exploring the archival materials of the London Missionary Society relating to Oceania. This archive\, despite having two catalogues and two guides still offers up surprises.\n\nNatasha Joyce is a PhD candidate examining the lives – and deaths – of Bendigo’s 19th century children of the goldrush. Last year she travelled to Edinburgh to examine an immigrant family’s collection of personal letters. Held at the National Library of Scotland\, the original letters revealed details and allowed insight into triumphs and sorrows not obvious in digital copies. \nNikita Vanderbyl has just passed her PhD on Wurundjeri artist and diplomat William Barak. She explores how his paintings ended up in European museums and will speak about the key concept that defined her argument.

SUMMARY:Tour of the historic and private Savage Club
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV can offer its members a tour of the private mens-only Savage Club on Thursday 4 July at 10am. Please note that this event is for RHSV members only and is limited to 20 persons. Morning tea is included.Curious to see what caused the fuss with Julian Burnside? Or curious to see a well-preserved slice of Melbourne’s history? Club members have included Napier Waller\, Sir William Dargie\, Sir Owen Dixon\, W. R. Guilfoyle\, Barry Humphries\, Sir Robert Menzies\, Frederick McCubbin\, John Reed\, Billy Hughes\, Joseph Lyons\, Sir Arthur Streeton and Sir Tom Roberts. \nFormed in 1894\, the Melbourne Savage Club took its name from the Savage Club of London.  Like its British counterpart\, the Melbourne Savage Club’s founding membership shared a passion for music\, art\, drama\, literature and science\, all of which were unified by a bohemian spirit. \nIn 1923 the club purchased its present premises in Bank Place. Classified by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria)\, it was built between 1884 and 1885. Once the home of Sir Rupert Clarke\, it is a magnificent three storey-plus basement boom-era Victorian residence that has remained almost entirely unchanged throughout the club’s history. \nThe club’s bohemian spirit lives on in the Melbourne Savage Club’s active calendar of artistic events\, such as concerts\, art prizes\, and poetry and literature special interest groups.

SUMMARY:Dr Andrew Lemon on Treasures from the RHSV Collection.
DESCRIPTION:For Rare Book Week a lunch-time lecture. \nThe RHSV began assembling its library collection from the time of its inception in 1909 and it also incorporated\, in the 1920s\, the library of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia (Victoria) which formed in 1883. Former president of the RHSV and well-known professional historian\, Dr Andrew Lemon\, will speak on some of his favourite items and oddities from the collection which is the largest and richest collection of Victorian history outside those held by government bodies. \nThe Ephemera Society of Australia also has a Rare Book Week event in the RHSV’s Officers’ Mess Upstairs at 11am on the same day\, Monday 8 July. There is a break between the two events from 12noon – 12:30pm when we will serve morning tea. \nThis event is free but we’d appreciate patrons booking for catering and organisation pruposes. \nAlso note that whilst we have disabled access into the building we do not have disabled access to the Officers’ Mess Upstairs which does involve a flight of stairs from the ground floor to the first floor. \n

SUMMARY:The Blackburns. Private Lives\, Public Ambition. A lecture by Caroline Rasmussen
DESCRIPTION:When socialist barrister and aspiring member of parliament Maurice Blackburn met Doris Hordern\, ardent feminist and campaign secretary to Vida Goldstein\, neither had marriage in their imagined futures. But they fell in love – with each other as much as with their individual aspirations to change the world for the better. Theirs would be an exacting partnership as they held one another to the highest ideals. They worked as elected members of parliaments and community activists\, influencing conscription laws\, benefits for working men and women\, atomic bomb tests\, civil rights and Indigenous recognition. Together\, they shook Australia. \n\n\n\n“Maurice and Doris Blackburn were major figures in the history of the Australian labour movement and feminist and Indigenous activism in this country. Maurice’s name lives on in the influential national law firm he founded\, but their many contributions to principled decency in Australian public life are now largely forgotten. They needed\, as Carolyn Rasmussen puts it\, to be “rescued from the footnotes”. In this meticulously comprehensive biography\, she has succeeded admirably in doing just that.”\nGARETH EVANS\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn Rasmussen completed post-graduate studies in labour history and the peace movement at the University of Melbourne where she is currently an Honorary Fellow. Her work as a public historian since 1985 has ranged over the history of Victorian public institutions\, the history of science and technology\, education history\, the involvement of women in all of the above\, and biography. In parallel with this work she has maintained a deep engagement with Victorian labour history. Her publications include Poor Man’s University: Seventy Five Years of Technical Education in Footscray; Vital Connections: Melbourne and its Board of Works 1891 to 1991 (with Tony Dingle); The Lesser Evil? Opposition to War and Fascism in Australia 1920-1941; A Place Apart\, The University of Melbourne: Decades of Challenge (with John Poynter); A Museum for the People: A history of Museum Victoria and its predecessors\, 1854-2000\, Increasing Momentum: Engineering at the University of Melbourne 1861-2004; Double Helix Double Joy: David Danks the Father of Clinical Genetics in Australia and ‘A Whole New World’ 100 years of Education at University High School. She is a member of the National Editorial Board of the Australian Dictionary of Biography and chair of the Victorian Working Party. Her most recent book is Shifting the Boundaries: The University of Melbourne 1975-2015. \n\n\n\n\n\nWine and cheese from 5pm. Lecture at 6pm.

SUMMARY:Victoria’s Earliest Potteries
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Gregory Hill\, a leading authority on both Australian Colonial Pottery and Australian Art Pottery\, will be delivering a lunch-time lecture on Victoria’s Earliest Potteries. \nThe lecture is based on Gregory’s latest book which resulted from seven years’ primary research and covers the period from colonization to 1875. The book provides an intriguing history on the founding and operation on Victoria’s first potteries. More than thirty pottery works are listed\, most of which were previously unknown. Their geographical sites have been found and many examples of what they made will be displayed. Gregory Hill has concentrated on their household wares and not the heavy industrial wares like pipes and tiles. The story behind our pioneering potters makes for fascinating reading. \nGregory will also be mounting a small exhibition of early Colonial Pottery in our Cabinet of Curiosities to accompany his lecture. \nGregory Hill’s interest in Australian pottery and decorative arts in general began with the clearance of his grandparents’ home in the early 1960s. As a young child he was intrigued by its rooms which had been closed for decades\, with their original interiors and masses of Victorian furniture and clutter. \nAs an adult he worked for ten years in the building industry and then taught for twenty years in technical schools. He has been an antique dealer for twenty eight years and a collector of Australian pottery for forty-four. \nCollecting stimulated detailed research and a program of interviewing potters which included artist potters\, employees in the commercial pottery industry and their descendants. It resulted in a huge accumulation of original research. \nHe drew on this research to compile extensive catalogues for several touring exhibitions including: The Potteries of Brunswick\, Gumnuts and Glazes: The Story of Premier Pottery Preston\, F.E. Cox – Enigmatic Art Potter\, Excellence of Ware: Bendigo Pottery Majolica /1879-1911 and Melrose Art Pottery /1931-1942.  Greg also curated these exhibitions and sourced the exhibits. \nToday he is recognized as a leading authority on both Australian Colonial Pottery and Australian Art Pottery. His most recent book\, Victoria’s Earliest Potteries is unprecedented in covering the first years of pottery manufacture in the colony of Victoria. \nGregory’s book\, Victoria’s Earliest Potteries\, will be for sale on the day.  \nRefreshments are served before all RHSV lectures.

SUMMARY:ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: Cataloguing and digitisation workshop series.
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV is offering a series of 6 linked workshops which cover cataloguing and digitisation. This series of workshops starts with basic concepts and builds in complexity. \nWe have spaced the workshops so that participants have time in which to put into practice their new skills before the next workshop. \nSome participants will want to book for the full series of 6 workshops and others will want to choose those individual workshops that are most suitable for them. So\, although the series is designed as a cohesive whole\, the individual workshops also work as stand-alone training sessions. The first two workshops repeat ones we offered earlier in 2019. \nAll workshops are limited to 20 participants and will be lead by Sophie Shilling\, our digital expert. They are all to be held at the RHSV: Officers’ Mess Upstairs\, RHSV 239 A’Beckett St\, Melbourne. This room\, unfortunately\,  is only accessible by a staircase – there is no disabled access. \nModule 1: Computer cataloguing for absolute beginners\nFRIDAY 26 JULY 1PM – 4PM\nThis is a workshop for those who are new to computers\, and small organisations who do not have the resources to use cataloguing software. Using only Excel\, we will demonstrate how to create a simple catalogue that still complies with international standards. It will cover some cataloguing terminology\, simple keyboard shortcuts for efficiency\, and how to back-up your Excel files. We will also learn how to use and create a thesaurus/controlled vocabulary. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to create a catalogue in Excel that can be exported to a cataloguing software program in the future. \nModule 2: Using cataloguing software\nFRIDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 1PM – 4PM\nThis workshop is for small organisations that are going to start use cataloguing software. Participants will have the opportunity to create catalogue records using cataloguing software\, and will learn how to move import an existing catalogue from Excel. This workshop is suitable for those who have created catalogue records using Excel and are looking to try some good cataloguing options before committing to one software application. \nModule 3: Scanning for beginners\nFRIDAY 4 OCTOBER 1PM – 4PM\nThis workshop is aimed at those who are new to scanning. It will cover some terminology relating to digital images\, and how to prepare documents for scanning before participants scan some documents using flatbed scanners. Participants will compare the document to the digital image and learn basic image manipulation to have the best possible digitised version. Then\, file naming and storage standards will be applied to the digitised documents. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to scan documents confidently. \nModule 4: Digitising books and photographing objects\nFRIDAY 1 NOVEMBER 1PM – 4PM\nIn this intermediate digitisation workshop\, we will introduce participants to best-practice digitisation techniques and procedures. Participants will have the opportunity to digitise books using a book scanner\, and to set up a site for object photography. Then\, we will introduce some image manipulation techniques including making thumbnails and watermarks. This workshop is aimed at those who are comfortable using a flatbed scanner and would like to expand their digitisation and digital image manipulation skills. \nModule 5: Looking after digital files\nFRIDAY 22 NOVEMBER 1PM – 4PM\nThis is a basic digital preservation workshop. The workshop will begin with brief project management skills including templates for policies and procedures. We will discuss digital storage\, how to create backups\, and how to check if files are damaged. Participants will learn how to describe an object using Dublin Core so that digital files can be discoverable. \nModule 6: Making collections accessible\nFRIDAY 13 DECEMBER 1PM – 4PM\nObjects need to be accessible\, whether that is to people managing a collection\, to visitors\, or to the public. This workshop will introduce themes of copyright and privacy that relate to historical collections. Participants will learn how to optimise catalogue records for discovery\, how to write for social media\, and create digital exhibitions. \nAll 6 workshops:  RHSV members: $125    Non-RHSV members: $175\nIndividual workshops: RHSV members: $25       Non-RHSV members: $35\nQueries: +61 3 9326 9288 / office@historyvictoria.org.au\n\nAnd\, finally\, a date-claimer for our first workshop in 2020: \nBorn Digital\nFRIDAY 24 JANUARY 2020 1PM – 4PM\, Officers’ Mess Upstairs\, RHSV 239 A’Beckett St\, Melbourne\nThis workshop is a stand-alone workshop which will be presented in partnership with AMaGA. It covers Born Digital documents – those documents that only exist in digital format. Although it is not part of our 6 module series it is naturally a good fit as a coda.  So\, this is a date-claimer as bookings for this stand-alone workshop will not open for several months yet. \n  \n  \n
