SUMMARY:Teasing women’s stories from the archives
DESCRIPTION:Please contact the organiser before attending this event in case it has been cancelled. \nIn March the History Council of Victoria celebrates Women’s History Month\, part of the context for annual celebrations of International Women’s Day on 8 March. In this seminar\, three historians share their experience of researching women’s lives\, as biographical dictionaries strive to increase their representation of women. From a medieval countess to Victoria’s female criminals\, the stories uncovered range widely in both time and place\, pointing to the richness the archives can yield ‘with a little more effort and research’. \nThis is a free event but bookings should be made through the HCV website \nThe presenters and their topics are: \nDr Carolyn Rasmussen\, public historian \n‘ “They just need a little more effort and research to track down”: addressing the gender imbalance in the Australian Dictionary of Biography‘ \nThe Australian Dictionary of Biography was\, from its inception\, intended to include representative as well as significant Australians\, but nevertheless women remained in the shadows with only 10 women to 565 men in volume one and 11 women to 596 men in volume two.  The proportion has gradually increased to nearly one quarter of those who died between 1991 and 2001\, but the challenge to redress the balance has now been taken up and the number of ‘recovered lives’ is testament to the effort and research of recent years. Plans are in hand to incorporate them into a revised Australian Dictionary of Biography. \nDr Kathleen Neale\, Monash University \n‘Looking for Elizabeth: locating medieval women in the archives’ \nIn response to shifting community expectations\, major biographical dictionaries are moving to include more women among their entries. How can medieval women be located in the archives of institutions from which they were largely excluded in their own time\, and in which later archivists were often uninterested in noticing and listing them where their lives were recorded? This presentation reflects on my experience of researching the biography of one of the daughters of Edward I. \nDr Alana Piper\, University of Technology Sydney \n‘Freeing female prisoners from the archives: understanding “criminality” in context’ \nIn his 1937 memoir about his career as a police detective in Melbourne\, Alfred Stephen Burvett made a seemingly oxymoronic remark when he stated ‘It must be remembered that it is not always criminals who commit offences or crimes’. Historically not every individual who entered the prison system fitted popular conceptions of the ‘criminal’; this seems especially true of women prisoners. Using archival prison records\, this paper will discuss the offending careers of 6\,042 women incarcerated in Victoria between 1860 and 1920 in order to reveal the complexities behind the ‘criminal’ identity imposed upon such women. \nMargaret Anderson\, Director at the Old Treasury Building\, will facilitate the discussion.

SUMMARY:ZOOM History Bookclub: Truganini
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled that Professor Cassandra Pybus\, author of our book this month\, will be joining our bookclub for a discussion. Start preparing your questions!\nOur History Bookclub is not taking COVID-19 lying down and we will be convening through ZOOM. Unfortunately we cannot pour you a glass of red wine through ZOOM but we can still chat. If you would llike to join us – sign up below and we will send you the link. \nIn normal times the bookclub meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 5:30pm – 7pm at the RHSV and we ponder the big issues and the small over a glass of wine and some cheese. But you can start reading our next book in preparation for the temporary situation of ZOOMing in for discussions: \nTruganini Journey through the apocalypse by Cassandra Pybus. \nThe haunting story of the extraordinary Aboriginal woman behind the myth of ‘the last Tasmanian Aborigine’. \n‘For the first time a biographer who treats her with the insight and empathy she deserves. The result is a book of unquestionable national importance.’ – PROFESSOR HENRY REYNOLDS\, University of Tasmania\n\n‘At last\, a book to give Truganini the proper attention she deserves.’ – GAYE SCULTHORPE\, Curator of Oceania\, The British MuseumCassandra Pybus’s ancestors told a story of an old Aboriginal woman who would wander across their farm on Bruny Island\, in south-east Tasmania\, in the 1850s and 1860s. As a child\, Cassandra didn’t know this woman was Truganini\, and that Truganini was walking over the country of her clan\, the Nuenonne.For nearly seven decades\, Truganini lived through a psychological and cultural shift more extreme than we can imagine. But her life was much more than a regrettable tragedy. Now Cassandra has examined the original eyewitness accounts to write Truganini’s extraordinary story in full.Hardly more than a child\, Truganini managed to survive the devastation of the 1820s\, when the clans of south-eastern Tasmania were all but extinguished. She spent five years on a journey around Tasmania\, across rugged highlands and through barely penetrable forests\, with George Augustus Robinson\, the self-styled missionary who was collecting the survivors to send them into exile on Flinders Island. She has become an international icon for a monumental tragedy – the so-called extinction of the original people of Tasmania.Cassandra Pybus is an award-winning author and a distinguished historian. She is author of twelve books and has held research professorships at the University of Sydney\, Georgetown University in Washington DC\, the University of Texas and King’s College London. She is descended from the colonist who received the largest free land grant on Truganini’s traditional country of Bruny Island.\n\nThe following bookclub at a time to be determined will be Jill Giese’s award-winning book\, The Maddest Place on Earth. \nAnd on Tuesday 9 June\, Brenda Niall’s biography\, Mannix.

SUMMARY:Launch of Mike Rosel's 'A Rat of Tobruk'
DESCRIPTION:Mike’s launch has been cancelled however the book will be in bookshops from early April\, and available at \nhttps://scholarly.info/book/a-rat-of-tobruk-a-diggers-lost-images-of-the-siege/ \nAn invitation to the launch of Mike Rosel’s A Rat of Tobruk by Dr Mark Johnston at the Shrine of Remembrance (Auditorium). \nRSVP: 0407 824 784 by 9 April. \nTo mark the 80th anniversary of the Siege of Tobruk in 2021\, Melbourne writer Mike Rosel has chosen many photographs from his father’s WWII albums\, notably those from Tobruk – many not seen before. \nThe tale of Lt John Rosel MC\, and the 2/24th Battalion‘s odyssey from training in northeast Victoria to Tobruk\, is complemented by never-before-published intimate and frank letters from Tobruk by Private Harry Frazer to his parents in Swan Hill. \n“Lieutenant John Rosel won a Military Cross for displaying ‘calmness and outstanding leadership’ when his platoon became surrounded at a critical point in the siege of Tobruk. He led the defence of several vital outposts against numerous attacks by the troops of General Rommel. His son Mike has written not only a touching tribute to his father’s war service but also a perceptive and stylish account of the soldiering experience of a generation. \nA Rat of Tobruk has many fascinating photographs – mainly taken by John Rosel –and is recommended to anyone interested in the Australian soldiers who risked all while making a substantial contribution to Allied victory in World War II.”\n– Dr Mark Johnston\, historian\,\nand author of 11 books on Australians’ service in WWII

SUMMARY:Law\, Lawyers and La Trobe
DESCRIPTION:Due to the COVID-19 restrictions we have regretfully decided to postpone this event and our other large events in April. We hope to reschedule later in the year.\nThose who have already booked will receive a full refund.\nIn 2020 we are delighted to announce that the A G L Shaw lecturer will be leading legal history scholar\, Dr Simon Smith AM FRHSV\, who recently published Solicitors and the Law Institute in Victoria 1835-2019: Pathway to a Respected Profession.  \nAlan George Lewers Shaw AO\, FAHA\, FASSA\, FRAHS\, FRHSV (1916 – 2012) was an RHSV Councillor from 1965 to 1971 and President from 1987 to 1991. He is also a Benefactor of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria. He was President of the C J La Trobe Society as well and the two organisations\, the C J La Trobe Society and the RHSV\, have jointly presented the annual A G L Shaw lecture since 2002 as a tribute to a great historian. \n\n\n\n\nSimon Smith is an Adjunct Professor with the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre at Victoria University. He was Vice-President of the RHSV in 2009-2011. In 2016 he edited Judging for the People: A Social History of the Supreme Court in Victoria 1841-2016. \nHis other recent published works include Barristers Solicitors Pettifoggers: Profiles in Australian Colonial Legal History (2014) and Maverick Litigants: A History of Vexatious Litigants in Australia 1930-2008 (2009). \nAs a Monash University law undergraduate in the 1970s\, Simon helped establish Australia’s first community legal centre\, the Springvale Legal Service. In that context he was a founding editor of a leading practice text\, the Lawyers Practice Manual (Vic). After completing his legal training in Oxford\, he was admitted to practice in 1975. In 1978 he became the first full-time clinical legal education academic in Australia\, based at Springvale. \nThrough that clinical programme\, for a decade\, he helped introduce Monash undergraduates to the practice of law in a supervised poverty law setting. Over 40 years of that programme\, the power of ‘first impressions’ on those future practitioners has contributed to the better practice of law in Australia. \nIn the 1980s\, Simon was a pioneer in alternative dispute resolution and was the first Ombudsman in the Australian financial services sector. In 1991 he helped establish the Society of Consumer Affairs Professionals in Business (SOCAP). He was President in 1996. Later he was Senior Counsel with a top-500 insurance company and a curator of the nationally significant insurance archive\, the Suncorp Insurance Archive\, now in the hands of the State Library of Victoria. \nSimon holds the degrees of B Juris. LL M and PhD from Monash University. In the 2019 Australia Day honours he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to the law particularly in consumer affairs\, to higher education\, and to history.

SUMMARY:There is part of my heart in Wonthaggi*
DESCRIPTION:This event is currently cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It may be postponed until later in the year. For those who have booked  a full-refund will be issued. \nThe RHSV is reviving a wonderful old tradition of organising tours to our colleagues in historical societies across rural and regional Victoria. First cab off the rank is Wonthaggi – a town with an unusual history as a State Modern Town. \nSome members will want the flexibility and independence of driving themselves to Wonthaggi\, and others\, wanting to be driven\,  can join our mini-bus for 11 passengers. So those driving themselves to Wonthaggi will meet us at the Wonthaggi Historical Society at 10:30am and will then say goodbye at the end of the tour of the State Mine. \nItinerary \n8:15am       leave RHSV\, 239 A’Beckett St\, Melbourne \n9:10am       pick up passengers at Mt Waverley (pick up point tba) \n10:30am    arrive Wonthaggi Museum\, Wonthaggi Historical Society\, \nRailway Station\, Murray Street. \nWe’ll have a cuppa and talk with the members of the WHS before a tour of \ntheir museum and a walking tour of the town. \n12:45pm      lunch at the Wonthaggi Workers Club\, 75 Graham Street \n2:00pm        arrive at State Coal Mine for a 2:30pm private tour. (Garden St) \n3:30pm        depart for Melbourne \n5pm              drop people at Mt Waverley \n5:45pm         arrive back at RHSV. \nLunch is not included in the ticket prices as it is simpler if everyone makes their choices on the day and pays individually for their lunch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Wonthaggi and District Historical Society had its beginning in the late 1950’s with the recognition that Wonthaggi’s history should be preserved. A public meeting was held and the historical society was formed. Over the ensuing years the collection of artifacts has grown\, as has its collection of photographs and documents. The society has copies of local newspapers\, dating back to 1910\, and audio tapes of many and varied speakers with their rich tapestry of experiences. \n\n\nLunch will be in the bistro at the Wonthaggi Workmens Club which was founded in 1911 when the Victorian Government attempted to deal with the drinking problem in mining communities. Clubs were\, supposedly\, where men could drink and socialise in a civilised manner. The Wonthaggi Workmen’s Co-operative Club grew out of the Workmen’s Club movement in the UK – similar to Mechanics Institutes – places where the working man could be educated and elevated whilst drinking in a civilised manner! \n\n\nWonthaggi State Coal Mine \nAt the beginning of the twentieth century black coal from NSW powered Victoria’s railway system\, gasworks and manufacturing industries. In 1909 a prolonged strike on the NSW coalfields threatened Victoria’s economic viability\, and the Victorian Government sought to end its dependence by mining its own\, poorer-quality coal deposits in South Gippsland at Wonthaggi which at the time was sparsely settled and possessed no transport links with Melbourne. The first shipment of Wonthaggi coal occurred on 25 November 1909 being dispatched by bullock teams to Inverloch and thence by ship to Melbourne. Three months later transportation by rail commenced after a 27 mile line was constructed from Nyora in the record time of 10 weeks. In 1910 the Government laid out a model township which\, by 1921\, had a population of 5\,000+ making Wonthaggi one of the largest towns in Gippsland. \nThe Wonthaggi State Coal Mine developed into a huge mining complex which operated until 1968. Within the first year of operation a power station was built to supply electricity to the whole area and installation was under way of the necessary engineering works for mining\, ventilation\, water drainage\, haulage\, and coal processing. The mine’s peak period of employment was the year 1925-26 when 1\,821 men were employed. During its operational life\, the Wonthaggi State Coal Mine produced 16.74 million tons\, making the field the largest black coal producer in the State’s history and the fourth largest in Australia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* There is Part of my Heart in Wonthaggi was written in 1934 by Jack O’Hagan\, best known for Along the Road to Gundagai. He was commissioned by the Government to tour towns in Victoria & write a theme song for each town. When the soldiers marched home this is the song they sang.

SUMMARY:ZOOM History Bookclub: The Maddest Place on Earth
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Jill Giese\, the author of he Maddest Place on Earth\, will join our Zoom book club on the 12 May. \nDue to  the COVID-19 pandemic this group will be conducted by ZOOM. Do read the book now (what else do we have to do except read?) so you’ll be ahead of the game when life resumes and we will keep you updated as to when and how the ZOOM meeting can occur. \nOur bookclub usually meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 5:30pm – 7pm at the RHSV. We ponder the big issues and the small over a glass of wine and some cheese but for the forseeable future it will be in your own lounge-room. \n\nGold-fuelled Melbourne was booming\, but dwelling in the fault lines of the proud young colony was an alarming fact – Victoria had the highest rate of insanity in the world. Was it the antipodean sun\, gold mania\, excessive masturbation\, the heady pace of modern life? \nThe true story of colonial Victoria’s quest to cure insanity unfolds through the lives of three English newcomers – a gifted artist\, exiled from his homeland for his madness; an ambitious doctor\, bringing enlightened treatment ideals to his post in charge of the overflowing asylum; and a mysterious undercover journalist\, who sensationally exposed the lunatics’ plight in Melbourne’s press. \nAmid the clamour of fraught endeavours and maddened minds\, the story reveals unexpected hope\, creativity and ennobling humanity – and surprising contemporary relevance as we continue to grapple with this ancient human malady. \nWinner 2018 Victorian Premier’s History Award \nLonglisted 2018 Nib Literary Award \nJill Giese is a clinical psychologist and writer\, whose extensive career in mental health encompasses many years of clinical practice and executive roles in policy and advocacy. \n\nThe following bookclub on Tuesday 9 June will read Mannix by Brenda Niall

SUMMARY:Victoria's Native Vegetation: History\, Heritage\, Politics
DESCRIPTION:Please contact the organiser before attending this event in case it has been cancelled. \nIn recognition of 2020 as the UN International Year of Plant Health\, this History Council of Victoria seminar will illuminate the challenging and contested past\, present and future of Victoria’s native vegetation. \n  \nThis is a free event however bookings should be made through the HCV website. \nProfessional historian Dr Gary Presland\, author of many books about Victoria’s natural and human heritage (including Understanding our natural world: the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria 1880-2015) will speak about the importance of native vegetation in understanding past human activity. \nProfessor Mike Clarke from the Centre for Future Landscapes at La Trobe University will consider the place of fire in the history of Victoria’s vegetation: ‘The Bush will be OK\, it’s evolved to cope with fire…hasn’t it?’. \nDr Lilian Pearce\, a research fellow on the ARC-funded project Owning nature: mapping the contested country of private protected areas and a member of the Landscape Reference Group with the National Trust of Australia (Victoria)\, will consider the changing role of history in contemporary environmental management activities. \nThis seminar contributes to the 2020 Australian Heritage Festival for which the theme is ‘Our Heritage for the Future’. The discussion will be chaired by Professor Alistair Thomson of Monash University.

SUMMARY:Returning our Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:Bookings for this event have been cancelled at the current time due to the ongoing restrictions of COVID-19. We may be rescheduling later in the year. We will keep our members informed as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds. \nRepatriation of Aboriginal Ancestral Remains is guided by a commitment to return the Ancestors to rest on Country by all involved. \n\nIn this partnership event between the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council we will be screening the documentary\, Returning Our Ancestors\, which will be followed by a discussion with Bonnie Chew\, Councillor of the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council and our President\, Richard Broome. \n\n\n\n\n\n“As part of the process of colonisation\, Aboriginal peoples’ burial places were desecrated in the name of curiosity\, science and research. Aboriginal Ancestors were stolen from their land where they had been placed with care and ceremony\, to be housed in metal boxes as specimens or ornaments of curiosity by individuals\, families and institutions. \nThe 1980’s saw Aboriginal Ancestors start to return to rest on Country. But the journey is by no means complete and there are many more of our Ancestors still to come home. We can all walk together and help in this essential work.” \nReturning our Ancestors is a documentary\, four years in the making\, which shares some of this difficult but healing journey. Produced by the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council\, with the contribution of stories from Victorian Traditional Owners and others. Returning our Ancestors is unlike any film on this topic: current\, relevant\, intimate\, emotional and extraordinary. It is a call to action\, to help Traditional Owners return their Ancestors to Country. The project raises awareness of the sensitivities around connection to Country\, the importance of reporting and returning Ancestors and the reasons Ancestors are not in the custodianship of their Traditional Owners. \nReturning our Ancestors shows us what we can do as a Victorian community to work together for the rightful and respectful return and protection of Aboriginal Ancestors\, now and into the future. \nAs with all RHSV events\, we provide refreshments from 5:15pm till just before 6pm when we move upstairs for the screening and conversation.  \n\nBonnie Chew is a proud Wadawurrung (Wathaurung) woman with many years’ experience in Aboriginal Cultural Heritage and Education. \nBonnie regularly gives lectures promoting cultural heritage management and has sound knowledge of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. In April 2012\, she had the opportunity to be a representative for Ballarat at the World Historical Cities Conference in Vietnam\, where she was able to share her knowledge and network with people of many other nations on a range of heritage issues. \nRecently\, Bonnie held the role of Cultural Heritage Coordinator for a Registered Aboriginal Party (Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation). In that role\, Bonnie worked closely with the community\, archaeologists\, developers\, anthropologists\, ecologists and government authorities\, on approximately 126 projects to achieve the best outcomes regarding the preservation of cultural heritage on her traditional Country. \nRichard Broome is one of Australia’s leading historians. While he has written on a wide range of subjects\, ‘it is his work on Indigenous history with its emphasis on Aboriginal agency and capacity for negotiation and self-empowerment that has been most influential. His book Aboriginal Australians: A History Since 1788\, first published in 1982\, is now in its 5th fully revised edition and has sold over 60\,000 copies in that time. It is the most widely read work in this field. He has also written Aboriginal Victorians: A History since 1800\, published in 2005 and the most comprehensive account available of Aboriginal history since white settlement in this state. \nHis history of the Victorian Aborigines Advancement League\, Fighting Hard\, was published in 2015 to document the fight against policies of assimilation and the struggle for civil rights. In the clarity and accessibility of his writing\, his great capacity for story-telling and his meticulous research\, Richard has opened up the history of Aboriginal Australians to a much wider public readership than academic historians.’ \n\nOur affiliated historical societies are encouraged to host their own screenings of this important documentary\, Returning our Ancestors\, for their members and friends. It is\, no doubt\, very pertinent to some historical societies which hold Ancestral Remains in their collections.  \nThe Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council wants as many Victorians to see the documentary as possible so they can be aware of the issues and challenges the documentary raises. The film is relevant to your communities\, to people in your area\, to the Traditional Owners of Country in your region and should be seen\, discussed and shared as widely as possible so action can be taken. The invitation is for you to run an event\, and for Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council to support it\, but also to keep the call to action ‘alive’ through other events and communications you undertake during 2020 and beyond. The call to action and communication about the message should exist and grow beyond one event or one screening of the documentary.
