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.

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.

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  URL:https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/event/all-you-need-to-know-cataloguing-and-digitisation-workshop-series/2019-07-26/ LOCATION:RHSV ZOOM by Invitation\, Australia CATEGORIES:What's On,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ShillingSophie.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Royal Historical Society of Victoria":MAILTO:office@historyvictoria.org.au GEO:-37.8107817;144.9562417 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20190727T100000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20190727T150000 DTSTAMP:20260405T010417 CREATED:20190701T083533Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190701T083533Z UID:10000380-1564221600-1564239600@www.historyvictoria.org.au SUMMARY:Photographic Display and Research Day DESCRIPTION:As part of Open House weekend\, we will host a photographic display of Box Hill houses\, showcasing many of the homes that no longer exist\, as well as some outstanding examples of local landmarks.

The mini-conference is organised by Engineering Heritage Victoria in partnership with the RHSV. \nEngineering has been defined as being “a vital art\, working with the great sources of power in nature for the wealth and well-being of the whole of society”.  We often mistakenly think of engineering as being something that started when engineers became a separate profession\, but engineering dates back many thousands of years. \nVictoria has many outstanding world-leading engineering works\, but many of these achievements are not well documented or have been forgotten\, and need to be re-discovered and celebrated. \nThis year Budj Bim became the first indigenous cultural landscape in Australia to gain World Heritage recognition; it also marks the 150th anniversary of the Great Melbourne Telescope; and the 100th anniversary of the Electrification of Melbourne’s suburban railways; and the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Institution of Engineers\, Australia. \nThe four presentations focused around these significant engineering events will be: \n\nRe-discovering our ingenious indigenous heritage\nDave Johnston\, Director\, Aboriginal Archaeologists Australia. Board member ‘Aboriginal History Journal’.\n\nThe Great Melbourne Telescope: White Elephant or Engineering Marvel\nMatthew Churchward\, Senior Curator\, Engineering & Transport\, Museums Victoria.\n\nThe Electrification of Melbourne’s Suburban Railway Network – a world class achievement\nMiles Pierce\, Retired electric engineer\, Past-chair\, Engineering Heritage Victoria.\n\nThe Institution of Engineers\, Australia was formed in 1919\, but why didn’t Victorian engineers join?\nKen McInnes\, Retired civil engineer\, Honorary Research Fellow\, eScholarship Research Centre\, University of Melbourne.\n\nThe image used to illustrate this event is: \nEngraving of the Great Melbourne Telescope: an imaginary setting from an English newspaper\, 1869\nSource: Museum Victoria (SH 950104) URL:https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/event/celebrating-engineering-history-a-mini-conference/ LOCATION:RHSV ZOOM by Invitation\, Australia CATEGORIES:What's On ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/great-melbourne-telescope-400x209.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Royal Historical Society of Victoria":MAILTO:office@historyvictoria.org.au GEO:-37.8107817;144.9562417 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20190817T140000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20190817T144500 DTSTAMP:20260405T010417 CREATED:20190208T045917Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190212T230054Z UID:10000280-1566050400-1566053100@www.historyvictoria.org.au SUMMARY:Vandemonians in North Melbourne: our Local Convict Past.

MODULE 2: USING CATALOGUING SOFTWARE 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. \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 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\nMODULE 4: DIGITISING BOOKS AND PHOTOGRAPHING OBJECTS\nFRIDAY 1 NOVEMBER 1PM – 4PM\nMODULE 5: LOOKING AFTER DIGITAL FILES\nFRIDAY 22 NOVEMBER 1PM – 4PM\nMODULE 6: MAKING COLLECTIONS ACCESSIBLE\nFRIDAY 13 DECEMBER 1PM – 4PM\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.

There will also be an supporting exhibition in the Cabinet of Curiosities\, curated by Cheryl Griffin\, of items recovered from the wreck by Heritage Victoria and items from the RHSV Collection. \n\nThe RHSV serves drinks from 5:15pm until 5:45pm in the Gallery Downstairs when we move upstairs for the 6pm lecture. Please note that there is no lift to the first floor and it is not accessible for those in wheelchairs or for those who have difficulty in climbing stairs. \nAlan’s book will be available for  sale on the night.

DESCRIPTION:Talk by David Sornig – Blue Lake: Finding Dudley Flats and the West Melbourne Swamp. \nIn Blue Lake\, David Sornig examines how the 8km-square zone to the west of central Melbourne became the city’s blind spot. Once a fertile wetland with a large blue saltwater lagoon\, it passed through various incarnations: from boneyards and rubbish tips; through the Depression-era Dudley Flats shanty town; to the modern-day docks. Through it all\, one thing that has persisted is its uncanny\, liminal quality. \nAs well as being a social history and a psychogeographic contemplation\, Blue Lake is a biography of three specific characters: Elsie Williams\, a Bendigo-born singer of Afro-Caribbean origin; Jack Peacock\, the king of Dudley Flats’ tip-scavenging economy; and Lauder Rogge\, a German hermit who lived for decades with sixty dogs on a stranded ship. By charting the rises and falls in their individual fortunes\, Sornig reveals much about the race and class divides of their times and explores questions about those strange and singular places in the urban fabric where chaos is difficult to contain.
