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

SUMMARY:Lecture. Farming the Mallee: Visions and Realities 1890-present
DESCRIPTION:We are honoured that our last major lecture for 2019 will be delivered by Professor Katie Holmes\, Director\, Centre for the Study of the Inland and co-author of the soon-to-be-published Mallee Country: Land\, People\, History together with Richard Broome\, Charles Fahey and Andrea Gaynor. \nIn the early 1890s the Victorian Mallee was seen as a ‘howling wilderness’ covered in ‘dismal scrub’. As surveyors began to subdivide the large pastoral stations into 320 acre blocks\, the Mallee boosters envisaged an area as a vast granary of golden fields and 5000 acres wheat farms. The subsequent 130 years would see the vision of extensive wheat farms become a reality but the process of transformation came at significant personal and environmental cost. \nThis talk will explore the cycles of drought and abundance\, hope and despair that have characterised Mallee farming; the impacts of social\, economic\, technological and environmental change on farming practice; and some of the challenges ahead for Mallee communities. \n

SUMMARY:ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. MODULE 5: LOOKING AFTER DIGITAL FILES
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 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\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\nMODULE 4: DIGITISING BOOKS AND PHOTOGRAPHING OBJECTS

SUMMARY:Explorations Series - Living with the Hume Dam\, 1919-2019
DESCRIPTION:In 1919 work began on Hume Dam with celebration and acclaim. When it was completed in 1936 it was hailed as an engineering and political achievement\, indeed\, a nation-building project. \nHow do we understand its history and legacy now in 2019? \nJoin river system and dam managers\, environmentalists\, historians\, photographers and musicians as they share stories and reflect on the centenary of Hume Dam. We have challenged them to excite us and even try to persuade us to their view in a series of quick-fire ‘show and tell’ presentations. \n\nWhat have been the opportunities and the challenges that came with Hume Dam?\nWhat have been the social\, economic and environmental impacts of Hume Dam?\nWhat stories does Hume Dam reveal or obscure?\nHow might the people of Albury-Wodonga and the people of Australia\, reflect on their connections with Hume Dam\, the lake\, and the regulated river?\nWhat do representations of Hume Dam and its surrounds reveal about past and present day mind-sets\n\nThis event is organised by Charles Sturt University working in conjunction with La Trobe University and Albury & District Historical Society. This is a Two Cities One Community initiative held with the support of the Murray Darling Basin Authority. \nLight refreshments will be provided concluding the event. \nFREE EVENT \nBookings: https://about.csu.edu.au/community/events/upcoming/albury-wodonga/explorations-series-living-with-the-hume-dam-1919-2019

SUMMARY:Specialist history tour: Melbourne Observatory
DESCRIPTION:This event booked out in less than 24 hours! We hope to organise more tours in the New Year so keep an eye out for further announcements. \nThe RHSV is organising a special historical tour of The Melbourne Observatory for our members. \nThe Melbourne Observatory was constructed in 1861–63\, and expanded until 1902 to eventually comprise 22 rooms. Far from only stargazing\, the Observatory staff provided critical scientific data essential for the smooth running of industries ranging from shipping to farming and city business to politics. \nIt commenced operations in 1863 and achieved a great deal of  practical value for Victoria before it was decommissioned from official Government work in 1945.  However it has since remained in use as an astronomical observatory. \nThe Observatory was the home for weather forecasting\, time setting\, setting weights and measures standards and for the surveying of Victoria. The distinctive shapes of the buildings\, built and added to between 1861 and 1902\, topped by sliding domes and opening roof structures evoke immediate recognition of their functions as devices for tracking and charting stars\, watching the weather and keeping time. \nIn the rapidly growing nineteenth century city of Melbourne\, telling the time accurately was a major challenge. The Melbourne Observatory provided the time for a clock in Bourke Street as well as the clocks at Flinders and Spencer Street railway stations. \nMuch of the historic equipment used when the Observatory was fully operational is preserved and still used for observing the southern night sky. \nMelbourne Observatory is now on the National Heritage List (early 2018). It has since been found to be of even greater national and world significance. Following successful precedents set by Sydney Observatory and many others around the world – including another highly significant 19th century observatory at Birr Castle in Ireland\, Melbourne Observatory should become a working heritage astronomical observatory museum. The reinstallation of the reconstructed Great Melbourne Telescope of 1869 in its original building at the Melbourne Observatory is underway and authentic\, sensitive restoration of the entire Melbourne Observatory site should follow. \nImportant information about the tour: \n\nEach tour consists of a max of 12 people. If there is sufficient interest we will book two tours which will occur simultaneously.\nThe tour is conducted at night and are not suitable for wheelchairs due to narrow entrances and staircases. This tour includes entry into confined spaces and climbing stairs\, therefore requires a moderate level of physical fitness and mobility\nThe tour will not be cancelled due to overcast or inclement weather conditions. Our guide will conduct an informative tour although the use of telescopes for observation in these conditions will not occur\nThis program is not suitable for children under the age of 8 years. Children 8 years and above must be accompanied by an adult.\n\n\n\nThis is both an indoor and outdoor activity. Please wear appropriate clothing for weather conditions and appropriate footwear.

SUMMARY:Jack Wetherly under the microscope
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to present a talk by Catherine Gill who has been volunteering at the RHSV. Catherine writes\, \n“As part of my recently completed Masters in Cultural Materials Conservation\, I was given opportunity to study the portrait of Jack Wetherly.  The original artwork was painted in 1840 by Thomas Napier.  Records at the RHSV state that the painting in its collection is a copy of the original artwork and was possibly painted by Thomas Clark. \n“With consent from the RHSV I was able to undertake a research study on the painting of Jack Wetherly for my thesis.  The focus was to conduct scientific analysis of the materials used by the artist in order to assist with the creation of a conservation plan to treat the painting.  Another purpose of the study was to gather knowledge that this portrait holds about Jack Wetherly and the history surrounding him to accompany the portrait.  The talk will focus on the two areas of the research findings as well as the process undertaken to conserve the portrait. \nAbout the painting  \nThomas Napier migrated to Hobart with his companion from England the builder John Brown (later of Como\, Victoria).  During his time in Hobart ‘he saw the surviving members of the Big River Tribe being brought into Hobart Town by George Augustus Robinson en route to Flinders Island’ (Trove\, 2019).  The Barber Chronicles (1979\, p. 60) state that ‘By permission of the authorities he was enabled to paint on canvas several portraits of the Natives\, including one of the chiefs called Manalangana which is now housed at the Melbourne Savage Club.’  The portrait Alphonse\, the Tasmanian retitled A Tasmanian Aboriginal is housed at Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. Another painting of Woureddy and Trukanini is held in a private collection. \n“Napier migrated to Melbourne soon after these portraits were done and was amongst the first people to purchase land at the first land sale. After about 18 months\, he established a cattle station near Dandenong and it is likely he met the Boonwurrung man Jack Wetherly.  After a year he returned to Melbourne and this is probably when the portrait was painted. \n“Information about Jack Wetherly was found in the journals of William Thomas who was appointed as one of four assistant protectors under the Port Phillip Protectorate (1839-1849).  Thomas was responsible for the western Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung clans.  Part of the role of the protectors was to record interactions with the Aboriginal people under their assigned care.  As a result of this\, Thomas created journals that documented names and activities and the places to which the Aboriginal people travelled.  We learn from these records some information about Wetherly’s journeys from the protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula to Melbourne and Dandenong and some of the events that happened in his life during the period he was under the watch of William Thomas. \n“Before commencing my masters\, I worked as a Visual Art teacher for many years.  I currently work part-time at the University of Melbourne coordinating the Arts West Gallery Space and continue to volunteer at RHSV.” \nAttendees are more than welcome to eat their lunch whilst listening to Catherine and we’ll have tea / coffee available from 12noon onwards.  \nAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are warned that the event will exhibit images of deceased persons.  \nImage credit: \nThomas Napier (copy) Jack Wetherly a Victorian Native\, 1840\, oil on canvas\, 79.7 x 66.9 cm (unframed)\, Melbourne\, Royal Historical Society of Victoria

SUMMARY:Launch: Locating Australian Literary Memory
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV is delighted to host the launch of Brigid Magner’s Locating Australian Literary Memory which explores the cultural meanings suffusing local literary commemorations. \nJohn Arnold\, book historian and former editor of the La Trobe Journal\, will launch the book and also there will be readings from the Henry Lawson\, Adam Lindsay Gordon and Henry Handel Richardson societies (and maybe a Banjo Paterson song)! \nIt is orientated around eleven authors – Adam Lindsay Gordon\, Joseph Furphy\, Henry Handel Richardson\, Henry Lawson\, A. B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson\, Nan Chauncy\, Katharine Susannah Prichard\, Eleanor Dark\, P. L. Travers\, Kylie Tennant and David Unaipon – who have all been celebrated through a range of forms including statues\, huts\, trees\, writers’ houses and assorted objects. \nBrigid Magner illuminates the social memory residing in these monuments\nand artefacts\, which were largely created as bulwarks against forgetting. Acknowledging the\nvalue of literary memorials and the voluntary labour that enables them\, she traverses the many\ncontradictions\, ironies and eccentricities of authorial commemoration in Australia\, arguing for an\nexpanded repertoire of practices to recognise those who have been hitherto excluded. \nBrigid Magner’s fascinating study sets out the ways in which a nation can build an identity\nby actively constructing a literary memory\, and then using those memories to paper over the\ndeep history of our First Nations and their stories. In doing so she helps us understand both\nhow fragile Australian culture is and also the ways in which literature is a powerful force.’\n—Sophie Cunningham \nBrigid Magner is senior lecturer in literary studies and founding member of the non/fiction lab\nresearch group at RMIT University\, Australia. She has contributed to a range of publications on\ntopics relating to Australian and New Zealand literary culture with a particular focus on publishing\,\nauthorship\, cultural heritage and tourism. \nDrinks from 5:30pm for a 6pm launch. \n \n\n\nJohn Arnold recently retired from Monash University after twenty-three years with the National Centre for Australian Studies. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Monash. He was the co-editor (with John Hay) of the four-volume Bibliography of Australian Literature (2001–08) and author of The Fanfrolico Press: Satyrs\, Fauns and Fine Books (2008). He is a former editor of the La Trobe Journal. He is published widely on the history of the book in Australia. \n\n\nJohn worked at the State Library from 1975–1980 and from 1983–1989. He has held continuous office-bearer/board member positions in the Friends of the La Trobe Library/State Library of Victoria and the Library Foundation since 1983.  John is a former President of the Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand and a long-standing member of the Committee of the Victorian Branch of the Bookcollector’s Society of Australia.

SUMMARY:ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. MODULE 6: MAKING COLLECTIONS ACCESSIBLE
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. \nTHE LAST IN THE SERIES …\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. \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\nMODULE 4: DIGITISING BOOKS AND PHOTOGRAPHING OBJECTS\nMODULE 5: LOOKING AFTER DIGITAL FILES

SUMMARY:Exhibition launch: The Swamp Vanishes
DESCRIPTION:Emeritus Professor Richard Broome\, President of the Royal Historical Society\, \nwith RHSV Councillors\, \ninvites you to the launch of our next exhibition \nThe Swamp Vanishes\nto be launched by Dr Gary Presland \nwith a musical performance by The Orbweavers. \nCurated by Lenore Frost. \nCuratorial support: Richard Barnden and David Thompson.          \n  \nA casualty of ‘exigeant and remorseless modern civilization’. \nBefore European settlers arrived in the Port Phillip district\, a large wetland that lay between the Yarra River and the Moonee Ponds Creek sustained the indigenous people and the cultural traditions of the Kulin nation. \nIt was known by the new settlers as Batman’s Swamp\, later West Melbourne Swamp.  In less than 20 years that important wetland had been despoiled by European settlers\, who turned into a receptacle for sewage and rubbish\, and shot large numbers of birds. \nWhile the wetland had initially been described in terms of beauty\, within a few short years the swamp was noisome and reviled\, and talk began of draining and reclamation.  By the end of the century significant engineering works had changed the very shape of the land. \nA feature of the land which had sustained aboriginal people for millennia prior to European settlement in 1835 became a refuge for the down and out during the 1930s depression. ‘Reclamation’ works continued\, until the wetland is now represented by the Dynon Road Tidal Canal\, parallel to Dynon Road\, and a small Wildlife Reserve. \nThis exhibition traces the how a significant wetland vanished from sight.      \nDuring a Creative Fellowship at State Library of Victoria\, The Orbweavers wrote a series of songs related to the West Melbourne Swamp. These include a song about the lost Blue Lake\, songs about Moonee Ponds Creek and industry along the Birrarung and Maribyrnong Rivers in the 19th-20th centuries. To find out more about The Orbweavers click here. \nImportant notice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visitors who are warned that this exhibition contains images of deceased persons. \nThe RHSV also warns that there might be words and descriptions quoted that could be culturally sensitive and which might not normally be used in public or community contexts. Words and descriptions that reflect the authors and the historical period in which the item was written\, may be considered inappropriate today. \n
