SUMMARY:Living on Mallee Country - Deep Time to 1900
DESCRIPTION:RHSV President Emeritus Professor Richard Broome is delivering the 2019 History Council of Victoria’s Annual Lecture. \nMallee country being semi-arid scrub country has made living upon it difficult for humans but not other living things. This lecture will explore how mallee country was used by Aboriginal people from Deep Time to the pastoral era and how Europeans found\, settled and often abandoned it as marginal sheep country. Living on mallee country revealed how Nature and Culture each shaped the other. \nIn the foyer\, before and after the lecture\, Monash University Publishing will be selling advance copies of Mallee Country: Land\, People\, History\, co-authored by Richard Broome\, Charles Fahey\, Katie Holmes and Andrea Gaynor. \nBookings can be made via the History Council website at https://www.historycouncilvic.org.au/annual_lecture

SUMMARY:ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. MODULE 3: SCANNING FOR BEGINNERS
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 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\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. 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  \nPrevious workshops in this series \nMODULE 1: COMPUTER CATALOGUING FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS\nMODULE 2: USING CATALOGUING SOFTWARE\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Walking tour: Batmania
DESCRIPTION:In late 1835 John Batman was feted as he proceeded up the Yarra Yarra by 300 dancing aborigines welcoming King Batman to Batmania. Batman had been to-ing and fro-ing between the infant Port Phillip settlement and Launceston\, his former home\, over several months and this lavish welcome had been organised by his brother Henry and the former convict\, William Buckley\, to get under the skin of Batman’s nemesis\, John Pascoe Fawkner. It\, as always\, worked! \nRHSV researcher\, Fiona Graham\, has put together a new guided walking tour of the south-western corner of the CBD – today it is a slightly raffish\, down-at-heel part of town but back in 1835 it was where everything was unfolding. Come and learn something new about your city. \nJoin Fiona on this wonderful new walk as she explains those early years and shows the surprising reminders of a time long gone. \nWe will launch this new tour in History Week on Tuesday 15 and Thursday 17 October at 10am. For History Week the tours will be free-of-charge but please book as numbers are strictly limited. \nThe tour will start at the former Age building on the corner of Collins and Spencer Streets and will take about  90 minutes. Although the distance covered is not vast\, you will be on your feet for 90 minutes so please wear comfortable walking shoes. \nThe tours will go ahead whatever the weather and we ask people to gather under the portico of 655 Collins St (Corner of Spencer St) – the former Age Building (with the big media screen\, opp Southern Cross Station).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Geraldine Moore on key events in the life of George Higinbotham
DESCRIPTION:George Higinbotham was a highly influential politician in colonial Victoria. One of his contemporaries described him as a man of ‘dash and daring’ who ‘won from privilege and class ground that they have never since been able to recover.’ Even today debate rages about his character and his legacy. Some see him as a visionary who fought for responsible government free of Colonial Office interference and obstruction by an undemocratically elected Legislative Council. Others see him as a flawed character whose legacy was turmoil.\nAs a journalist with the Melbourne Herald\, Higinbotham influenced the course of events as agitation mounted on the goldfields and culminated in the battle at Eureka. A year afterwards\, in the storm that erupted following Governor Hotham’s claim to unconstitutional powers\, he led a press campaign of opposition. Later\, as Attorney General of Victoria\, his daring leadership of the Legislative Assembly’s struggle against the Legislative Council led to constitutional crises in 1865 and 1867. And as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court\, his public donation to the strike fund during the Great Maritime Strike of 1892 created controversy\, even outrage. Despite humiliations and defeats\, he championed democracy and the public interest as he saw it. \n\nPrior to the lecture\, the 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. \nGeraldine’s book will be available for  sale on the night.

SUMMARY:Walking tour: Batmania
DESCRIPTION:In late 1835 John Batman was feted as he proceeded up the Yarra Yarra by 300 dancing aborigines welcoming King Batman to Batmania. Batman had been to-ing and fro-ing between the infant Port Phillip settlement and Launceston\, his former home\, over several months and this lavish welcome had been organised by his brother Henry and the former convict\, William Buckley\, to get under the skin of Batman’s nemesis\, John Pascoe Fawkner. As always\, it worked! \nRHSV researcher\, Fiona Graham\, has put together a new guided walking tour of the south-western corner of the CBD – today it is a slightly raffish\, down-at-heel part of town but back in 1835 it was where everything was unfolding. Come and learn something new about your city. \nJoin Fiona as she explains those early years and shows the surprising reminders of a time long gone. \nWe will launch this new tour in History Week on Tuesday 15 and Thursday 17 October at 10am. For History Week the tours will be free-of-charge but please book as numbers are strictly limited. \nThe tour will start at the former Age building on the corner of Collins and Spencer Streets and will take about  90 minutes. Although the distance covered is not vast\, you will be on your feet for 90 minutes so please wear comfortable walking shoes. \nThe tours will go ahead whatever the weather and we ask people to gather under the portico of 655 Collins St (Corner of Spencer St) – the former Age Building (with the big media screen\, opp Southern Cross Station).

SUMMARY:The Genealogical Society of Victoria: an introduction
DESCRIPTION:As part of History Week the Genealogical Society of Victoria is holding an information session especially for RHSV members and friends. \nA couple of years ago we were fortunate to absorb some of the GSV’s library at the RHSV as they\, like all of us\, were downsizing.  As there are great similarities between the two organisations and our aims we are starting to create shared events – this is the first. \nFor anyone contemplating researching their family this event is key. It is also of great interest for those undertaking more general research as family research skills and resources can be used to create histories for any characters\, not just your family. The GSV has not just an impressive research centre but it hosts a multitude of focused groups which meet monthly to assist each other with knotty problems. And\, like the RHSV\, they have a very full program of public events to assist their members. As we all know family research is more than births\, deaths and marriages and good research skills and resources are needed to put flesh on bones. \nThe two speakers will be Jenny Redman (current President) and David Down (immediate Past President) who will cover three topics: \n\nIntroduction to the GSV\nStarting family history\nDNA\n\nand ending with Q&A. \nThis is a free event but is strictly limited to 20 people so we ask you to register below. Please let us know if your circumstances change and you can no longer attend.  When you register we ask you to nominate your level of research skills simply so Jenny and David know where to pitch their information.

SUMMARY:ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. MODULE 4: DIGITISING BOOKS AND PHOTOGRAPHING OBJECTS
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. \n\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\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. 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. \nPrevious modules in the series: \nMODULE 1: COMPUTER CATALOGUING FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS\nMODULE 2: USING CATALOGUING SOFTWARE\nMODULE 3: SCANNING FOR BEGINNERS
