SUMMARY:Inter-Institutional Loans Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Inter-Institutional Loans Seminar\nThis free Zoom seminar is aimed squarely at all the historical societies which are members of the RHSV. It is a very important seminar for those societies interested in building their capacity and adopting best practice in relation to their collection. \nWe have put together a stellar panel of experts who have been involved in both lending and borrowing items from their collections to other institutions. \n\nAnnie Muir\, Heritage Victoria. Annie is a Heritage Curator for Heritage Victoria’s Artefact and Research Centre. They look after all the objects found in archaeological digs and shipwrecks in Victoria. In recent years the RHSV has mounted two exhibitions with Annie’s help – one on the wreck of the Fiji and the other about objects related to childhood found in archaeological digs in Melbourne. \nSarah Haselton is the Senior Registrar Exhibitions and Loans\, Collection Care at the State Library of Victoria. Through Sarah\, the SLV recently borrowed material from the RHSV’s MacRobertson collection.\nAmanda Wild is the Exhibitions & Loans Conservator\, Collections Care at the State Library of Victoria.\nHelen Stitt\, Royal Historical Society of Victoria\, will talk about her experience with collections like the large collection at RACV as well as what the RHSV looks for when we are asked to lend material to another institution.\n\nThe panellists will talk about exactly what their institution looks for when they are asked to lend items from their collection. They will also cover issues like how to approach an institution\, the time-lines involved\, permissions needed\, paperwork to be signed off\, transport of objects\, conservation (incl climate control and lighting)\, security\, insurance and potential costs. All institutions are different but there are lot of consistencies in the way they handle loans. It also works the other way – if your society is approached to lend an object from your collection\, what should you be asking of the borrower? \nEven if your society has no immediate plans to borrow or lend\, this is an important seminar designed to show historical societies what they should be aiming for in terms of climate control\, security\, lighting etc

SUMMARY:Stories from the Greece / Crete Campaign\, WW2 - Presented by Patrick Ferry
DESCRIPTION:In early 1941\, Britain committed nearly 60\,000 soldiers to help defend Greece from an imminent German invasion. This included some 17\,000 troops from the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). When the invasion came in April 1941\, the Allies put up stiff resistance\, but were soon forced into an arduous retreat. Over the next couple of months\, an astounding 39% of the AIF in Greece and Crete were killed\, wounded or taken prisoner of war. Despite this\, the campaign remains relatively less well known. In this presentation\, Patrick Ferry (State Manager\, Victoria for the National Archives of Australia) will share the stories of some soldiers from Pakenham\, Victoria who were caught up in this tragedy. Patrick will also talk about a major National Archives’ project to digitise WW2 Army and RAAF service records. \nPlease book – email Eileen at –  secretary@nwfgh.org.au \n  \n

SUMMARY:Soldier Settlement Schemes seminar via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Soldier Settlement Schemes seminar via Zoom\nA joint presentation with the Genealogical Society of Victoria and the RHSV. \nWe are delighted that Dr Charles Fahey has agreed to deliver this seminar on Soldier Settlement Schemes \nThe Soldier Settlement Schemes encompassed thousands of  World War One returned soldiers who occupied  farming land on conditional purchase leases across Victoria between 1919 and the 1960s. If you are researching family or Australian history this talk will help you understand the individual experience of a soldier settler\, as well as the historical context of the Victorian Soldier Settlement Scheme. The talk will make special use of files from the parishes of Wagant and Kulwin to illustrate the information and stories to be found in vast archive left by the settlers. \nDr Charles Fahey joined Latrobe University in 1990 after briefly teaching history at the University of Tasmania in Launceston. He taught history at La Trobe University\, in Bendigo\, Melbourne and Shepparton  until his retirement in 2018. His research explores Australian Labor\, rural and mining history. He is the author of many Victorian rural histories and articles (a list of articles can be found here). Before becoming an academic\, he was employed as a historian with the Victorian Government\, where he worked on the conservation of historic sites on Crown land and the history of Victorian forestry. The unit Charles worked with was also responsible for transferring the vast archive of Solder Settler files to PROV. \nThis is a free Zoom presentation. Please register below and the Zoom log-in details will be sent to you 24 hours before the event. \n  \n \n(Photo courtesy of Public Record Office Victoria)

SUMMARY:Needlework on the Diggings and Extravagance\, Tradition and Power: Governor Latrobe's Uniform
DESCRIPTION:Join Sovereign Hill Museums Association for a special Weston Bate Memorial Lecture on colonial fashion and needlework with researchers\, Dr Lorinda Cramer and Megan Anderson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘I find my sewing powers of great advantage here’: Needlework on the diggings \nGuest speaker: Dr Lorinda Cramer \nIn 1856\, Maggie Hoey wrote to her sister in Scotland: ‘I find my sewing powers of great advantage here’. By ‘here’\, Maggie was referring to her new home on the Victorian goldfields. By her ‘sewing powers’\, she meant her skills in needlework that ranged from making and mending clothing to furnishing her tent. This lecture will explore the ‘great advantage’ of women’s and men’s sewing on the diggings: how it made them comfortable by clothing and housing them\, but how it also helped assert their place in the tumultuous gold-rush society. It will draw on diaries\, letters and memoirs written on the diggings\, on the illustrations and photographs that richly captured those experiences\, and on the rare surviving examples of needlework now preserved in museum collections. It will show just how important sewing could be to transform daily life. \nDr Lorinda Cramer is a postdoctoral researcher at the Australian Catholic University\, where she is currently working on the ARC Discovery project Men’s Dress in Twentieth-Century Australia: Masculinity\, Fashion\, Social Change. Her research into dress\, fashion and textile history is underpinned by material culture and inspired by her work for more than a decade as a museum curator and collection manager. Her PhD\, completed in 2015\, explored the lives of Victoria’s female gold-rush migrants through their needlework: from the clothes they sewed for themselves and their families to the textile goods they made for their homes and the relentless demands of mending and darning. \nThis research was published by Bloomsbury in 2020 as Needlework and Women’s Identity in Colonial Australia and has recently been released in paperback. \nDr Cramer’s research will be presented alongside Sovereign Hill’s former Costume Production Assistant\, Megan Anderson’s research on Lieutenant-Governor Charles LaTrobe. \nExtravagance\, Tradition and Power: Governor Latrobe’s Uniform \nGuest speaker: Megan Anderson \nMegan’s project will explore the significance\, history\, tradition and symbolism encompassed in the uniform of Lieutenant–Governor Charles La Trobe. Within the garment industry\, tailoring is extensively revered as the highest standard of garment construction\, with the highest quality achieved. Ceremonial uniforms\, including that of Lieutenant-Governor\, are from an even higher echelon – every element of this uniform was designed to impress\, emphasise and enhance the wearer in both status and stature. As holder of the highest office in the new colony of Victoria\, a distinguished uniform to solidify that position was absolutely necessary for La Trobe. The outcome of Megan’s research will include an impeccably tailored suit with accents of gold and silver. \nThis is a COVIDSafe event and will be held under the current government guidelines. Visitors 16 years of age and over must show their COVID-19 vaccination status as a condition of entry. This requirement will extend to visitors aged 12 and over once phase D of the roadmap is reached (indicatively 24 November). \n\nBOOK TICKETS HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/weston-bate-memorial-lecture-tickets-168363695345

SUMMARY:Peter Brown: Off the Beaten Track
DESCRIPTION:Photographs  1972-2021. For historians this photographic collection includes images of the Western Districts taken over the last 50 years. \nPhotographer\, Peter Brown\, only ever uses a fixed lens and composes the image before he takes the shot. He doesn’t like cropping or excessive editing.  From 1972 to 2000 he used a Nikkorrmat camera he bought in Singapore in 1972.  He switched to a Nikon FM2 with a 55 mm lens. In 2015 he changed to a Nikon D600. \nThey are all stamped and numbered 1/10 on reverse. The photographer will print additional images as required. Maximum 10. \nPeter Brown adopts the philosophy that his art is a ‘journey of discovery’ taking him to all corners of the world from the village of Syvota in the remote Greek Island of Lefkada\, to Far North Queensland where he worked as a dentist in the early 1970s. Then\, as a keen hiker\, to the hiking trails of Tasmania\, Victoria and NSW as shown in this exhibition. Peter’s free-hand photography investigates the way light can transform ordinary objects into works of art. His particular interest in black and white film allows these prints to capture the atmosphere and mood of so many beautiful landscapes. \nThe gallery is open Mon – Fri 11-5pm\, Sat 12- – 5pm until the 4th December \n  \n\nBridget McDonnell Gallery \n130 Faraday St.\nCarlton Vic 3053\nAustralia \nPhone (613) 9347 1700 \nsales@bridgetmcdonnellgallery.com.au \n\nImage caption: Woolshed\, South Mokanger 1985

SUMMARY:The Largest Garage in Melbourne: Jas A Munro
DESCRIPTION:The Largest Garage in Melbourne: Jas A Munro\n  \nThe RHSV is delighted to welcome Ian Berg to deliver a talk based on his wonderful book\, shortlisted for the Victorian Community History Awards in 2021. \nJas Munro\, a Scottish immigrant\, established a series of successful businesses in Melbourne during the early part of the twentieth century. He was captivated by the emerging horseless carriage and became an influential figure in the motor trade. And he operated his businesses at the Munro site\, immediately next to the Queen Victoria Market. After more than a century\, the Munro site was purchased and is being redeveloped by the City of Melbourne. The Munro archives survived and have enabled Ian Berg to now tell the story. Jas A Munro & Co: The Largest Garage in Melbourne is testament to the life of an enterprising man in early twentieth-century Australia. It is also about early Melbourne\, the development of the motor business in Australia and the impact on business of a globally disruptive event – The Great War. \nIan will outline how\, by chance\, he came across the previously unseen archives and why he wrote the Munro story……… \nJas A Munro & Co: The Largest Garage in Melbourne can be purchased from the RHSV bookshop here \nThis book has just received a glowing review in The Automobile\, the UK bible for early motoring enthusiasts – click on the bookshop link above to read the review.

SUMMARY:Digging in to Family History How & Where with Peter Beer
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 23 November 2021 at 6.45pm for a 7pm start \nPlease book – the link for the session will be sent after booking \nTo book please call George Fernando  – 0448296258 or email – enquires@chs.org.au \nPeter Beer worked in the IT industry for over 30 years\, with almost 20 years living in Hong Kong and China. He speaks Mandarin. He held senior technical management roles leading teams across Asia and was always fascinated about leveraging data to assist sales\, problem and management processes.\nOver the past few years\, Peter has leveraged his IT and data analysis skills to uncover remarkable facts about his family history\, exploring what can be found online and through ‘networking’ to complement existing family history facts and folklore. 250+ days of lockdown certainly provided a lot of additional opportunity!\nThis presentation will cover some of these discoveries\, with a particular emphasis on ‘how’ this is relevant for attendees – highlighting the many sources and methods that Peter found vital to making major family history breakthroughs. It will also highlight why and where the history is relevant to attendees – for example covering various Melbourne architectural landmarks\, including the Spires of St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Comedy Theatre\, and numerous houses in Camberwell and Boroondara in general.

It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which\, as we all know\, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.  With our membership scattered across Australia please remember that this is Melbourne time – AEDT in summer and AEST in winter. \nJillian always prepares some material on some specific queries but questions are encouraged and\, remember\, a problem shared is a problem halved. The clinics are conversational in format rather than a seminar. If you are new to cataloguing or an old hand you will find plenty to interest you in these sessions. Jillian often has material which is emailed out to attendees after the clinic. \nThe last clinics for 2021 will be held (via Zoom) on: \n\nNov 25\, 2021 11AM\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting (this is applicable to all 10 clinics during 2021)\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86005954246?pwd=eUsyRlRxTE92bU5Wb3IzVjVIcmxKdz09 \nMeeting ID: 860 0595 4246\nPasscode: 217816 \nPlease remember to register otherwise we can’t send you material after the event. \nAnd remember to keep an eye out for these clinics in 2022.

SUMMARY:The Siege That Forged an Enduring Australian and Polish Friendship: The Rats of Tobruk
DESCRIPTION:At this very special event\, hear how the friendships forged in a small\, coastal town in northern Africa influenced Australia’s post-war migration and created lifelong bonds across cultures. \n  \nThe Shrine of Remembrance\, in partnership with the Institute of National Remembrance\, Poland\, presents a digital event on Saturday 27 November honouring the enduring legacy of the Australian and Polish Rats of Tobruk. \nJoin Dr Mark Johnston\, Professor Marek Wierzbicki and Lucyna Artymiuk as they discuss the shared experiences of the Australians and Poles in Tobruk and the impact on Australia’s migration and connection to Poland. \nBetween April and November 1941\, 14\,000 Australians were besieged within the Libyan fortress of Tobruk by a powerful Italo-German army. Ordered to deny Tobruk to the enemy for eight weeks\, the men held out for five months. Pro-Nazi propagandist and broadcaster Lord Haw Haw (William Joyce) described the defenders as ‘rats’—an insult which they adopted as a badge of honour. \nExhausted\, the Australian troops were progressively withdrawn from Tobruk between August and November 1941. Other troops including the Carpathian Brigade\, comprising soldiers who had escaped Poland after its conquest by the Nazis and Soviets in 1939\, relieved them. \nIt was the Poles who finally ended the siege when they captured Acroma and linked up with the British 8th Army. In recognition of this feat\, the Australians shared with the Poles their most venerated title. Henceforth\, the Poles too would be ‘Rats of Tobruk’. \nBetween 1947 and 1948\, Australian veterans of Tobruk helped sponsor the migration of 1\,500 Polish soldiers to Australia when it became impossible for these men to return to their homeland\, due to Soviet occupation. \n  \n  \nThis event will be live streamed on the  Shrine’s Facebook and YouTube channels. \n  \n  \nMore on the Speakers: \nLucyna Artymiuk is a second generation Polish Australian\, the daughter of a Polish airman who arrived on the third of five transports of Polish Immigrants after the Second World War. She Is currently a history PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne looking for the first time at Polish migrant soldier scheme to Australia in 1947–1948\, which was a litmus test for the implementation of mass migration of non-British migrants from the displaced person camps of Western Europe to Australia during the post-war reconstruction era. Lucyna has been a prominent member of the Polish Australian community for the past 30 years and is currently the Acting President of the Polish Museum and Archives in Australia.\nRecently she has authored her father’s biography From Poland to Where Ever in the World and in the process uncovered details of the post-war relationship between the Australian and Polish Rats of Tobruk that had not been documented or had been erased from the collective memory of the Polish and Australian veteran communities. \nDr Mark Johnston Mark is one of Australia’s leading authorities on the Second World War. He is the author of more than ten books\, including The Magnificent 9th: An Illustrated History Of The 9th Division 1940–46 and An Australian Band of Brothers which concerns Don Company of the2/43rd Battalion. The battalion fought in Tobruk\, El Alamein and New Guinea. Mark is the head of History\, Politics and Philosophy at Melbourne’s Scotch College. \nProfessor Marek Wierzbicki is a Polish historian and political scientist\, full professor\, lecturer at the Catholic University of Lublin (Faculty of Social Sciences); since 2007\, chief specialist (senior researcher) at the Institute of National Remembrance. His research interests include\, inter alia\, relations between the authorities and society in communist Poland\, ethnic relations under the Soviet occupation of Poland and Eastern Europe(1939–1941)\, the history of Polish political emigration after 1945 including wartime- military and civilian – exiles\, the social history of the 20th–21st centuries and the role and mentality of youth in both Eastern (communist) and Western (capitalist) Europe during the Cold War (1947–1991). One of his scholarly works is a biography of Zygmunt Szadkowski – one on the Polish Rats of Tobruk who became one of the leaders of the Polish political emigration after the Second World War. \n  \n  \nMedia Enquiries: \nInterviews with the speakers available upon request \n  \n  \nFor more information  \nAnna Lensky \nPitch Projects \n0425 766 780 \nanna@pitchprojects.com

SUMMARY:A WALK WITH ROBYN ANNEAR
DESCRIPTION:It is always exciting when Robyn Annear releases another of her captivating books into the wild and her latest book\, which releases on the 30th of November\, promises to be fabulous. Robyn has devised 7 historic walks around Melbourne and she will be leading a walking tour for RHSV members of one of those walks – around the Queen Victoria Markets and Flagstaff Gardens area. \nThe walk will be 90 minutes and finish with morning tea with Robyn. Because there is a limit of 15 for this walk we are limiting it to strictly just RHSV members. The walk will go ahead regardless of the weather so please be prepared for whatever Melbourne throws at us on the day. Wear comfortable shoes and carry some water. The starting point and ending point of the walk will be emailed to ticket-buyers. \n\n\nMelbourne’s streets have always been marvellous—but the proud facades of the nineteenth-century boom aren’t the half of it.\nWhat about the stories behind them?\nThe great corset scandal of Melbourne’s belle epoque;\nThe heritage-listed toilets out the back of the Rialto;\nThe exploits of the women who ran the brothels in Little Lonsdale Street;\nThe reason George Mallaby starred in Homicide wearing a hat two sizes too small. \nThis book contains a series of walks created by Robyn Annear to showcase the hidden histories we might scurry past every day\, the buildings now gone and the extraordinary characters who inhabited them.\nCharming\, erudite and frankly gossipy\, Annear’s highly entertaining guide to Melbourne past and present need not be experienced on the move. But whether you enjoy it from a tram stop or an armchair\, Adrift in Melbourne will inspire you to unleash your inner flâneur on the lurking surprises of this great city. \n\nThe other good news is that Robyn will be doing a virtual walk for us in 2022 so\, if you are not one of the lucky 15\, you will be able to join Robyn at the RHSV when she takes you on an armchair ride through the streets and laneways of Melbourne. This event will be publicised in early 2022 so keep an eye out. \n\nIf you want to buy Adrift in Melbourne (great Christmas present for any Melburnian) click here.

SUMMARY:Freak Out How a Musical Revolution Rocked the World in the Sixties
DESCRIPTION:Freak Out How a Musical Revolution Rocked the World in the Sixties\nFreak Out is Australia’s coming-of-age story\, of how we as a nation were dragged into global culture by the unstoppable momentum of rock and pop music. The sixties was an era of extraordinary change and earth-shattering events. The music scene responded with popular anthems that reverberated across the planet. What’s more\, the gun was fired on a period of unprecedented musical innovation and creativity\, the likes of which have never been repeated. \nMusic spoke to young people in their own shared language\, urging them to view themselves as decidedly separate from mainstream society – even suggesting they might ‘drop out’ altogether. For a brief time\, millions of young people across western culture actually believed they could successfully reinvent society. Liberation for pacifists\, women\, people of colour\, homosexuals\, students and the oppressed seemed to be just a short revolution away. \nThere was no room for complacency or apathy in the face of the Cold War\, Vietnam War\, and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation. Australians may have been spared the fear of bomb blasts\, assassinations and kidnappings; however\, the ructions abroad invaded our national psyche\, and the music that was generated in that milieu infiltrated Australian culture and transformed society forever. \nIn this event the author\, Tony Wellington\, will be interviewed by Sean Sennett\, music-writer and musician.\nTony Wellington has worked in a broad range of creative arts fields and even dabbled in politics as the Mayor of Noosa Shire. \nTony is the author of Happy?: Exposing the Cultural Myths about Happiness\, plus a history book\, Noosa and Cooloola\, and is co-author (with John Shand) of Don’t Shoot the Best Boy! The Film Crew at Work. He has also produced several photographic books\, the most recent being Wild About Noosa. Over the years\, Tony has provided articles\, op eds and photographs for many newspapers\, magazines and books. \nTony graduated from Macquarie University in 1976 majoring in Media and Communications\, receiving a university prize for his media studies. For many years he worked on a freelance basis in the feature film and television industry as a scriptwriter\, first assistant director\, editor and director. He also lectured in media studies and film craft. \nSean Sennett is a Brisbane based music writer and musician. As the owner of Time Off magazine for two decades\, Sean interviewed over a thousand artists – from local and unsigned bands to the likes of David Bowie\, Iggy Pop and Bruce Springsteen. He has written about music for The Age\, Rolling Stone (here and overseas)\, the Australian\, the SMH and Word. Sean now hosts the podcast Sony Music Presents Time To Talk. Sean has written and recorded music with Rob Hirst\, Kate Ceberano\, Steve Kilbey\, Ross Wilson\, Kasey Chambers and more. \nPlease note that this event originates in Brisbane which is on AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) wheras Melbourne is on AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight time) so\, for Melbourne audiences it starts at 7:30pm.  \nIf you are an RHSV member attending this event and you want to buy a copy of Freak Out please contact Avid Reader\, the bookshop hosting the event. However you can also buy Freak Out from the RHSV bookshop here: https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/product/freak-out-how-a-musical-revolution-rocked-the-world-in-the-sixties-by-tony-wellington/ \n

SUMMARY:The Melbourne Socialite & The Turkish Diplomat
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Socialite & The Turkish Diplomat\nPresented in partnership with the National Archives of Australia and the Genealogical Society of Victoria \nPresented by Patrick Ferry and Janan Greer \nLondon\, 1913: A wealthy young woman from a stately country home falls in love with and secretly marries a handsome young diplomat from the Turkish Embassy. It sounds like a plot line from the hit British period drama Downton Abbey … but it is the real-life story of Melbourne socialite Florence Winter-Irving. Florence’s story is told through records held by the National Archives of Australia\, contemporary newspapers and treasured family memorabilia and traditions. Her story is set against the backdrop of patriarchal nationality laws which stripped women of their own nationality when they married ‘aliens’ – i.e.\, foreign men who were not British subjects. \nFlorence came from one of Victoria’s wealthiest squatter families. Their country seat\, Noorilim\, near Murchison\, is regarded as one of the finest mansions ever built in Victoria. \nWhen Florence met and married Turkish aristocrat and diplomat Chefik Bey Muftyzade it created a sensation in the Australian press\, which even speculated that Florence was about to enter a ‘harem’. \nPatrick Ferry is the State Manager\, Victoria for the National Archives of Australia. He is a professional archivist\, local historian and author. Patrick’s most recent book Blood\, Toil\, Tears and Sweat: Remembering the Pakenham District’s WW2 service personnel\, 1939 – 1945\, won the 2020 Victorian Community History Award for Best Local History Project. \nJanan Greer is the great-granddaughter of Florence Winter-Irving. Janan works in marketing and communications and has a passion for family history and storytelling. She is the custodian of many family photographs\, letters and documents relating to her paternal family lineage. \n  \nPhoto courtesy of the National Archives of Australia

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinics 2022
DESCRIPTION:Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these free cataloguing clinics during the early days of COVID and they suit Zoom very well. The clinics run for an hour from 11am – 12noon on the 4th Thursday of each month. It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which\, as we all know\, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.  With our membership scattered across Australia please remember that this is Melbourne time – AEDT in summer and AEST in winter. \nJillian always prepares some material on some specific queries but questions are encouraged and\, remember\, a problem shared is a problem halved. The clinics are conversational in format rather than a seminar. If you are new to cataloguing\, or an old hand\, you will find plenty to interest you in these sessions. Jillian often has material which is emailed out to attendees after the clinic. \nThe clinics in 2022 will be held (via Zoom) on: \n\n        Feb 24\, 2022 11:00 AM (topic: cataloguing multi-media)\n        Mar 24\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Apr 28\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        May 26\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Jun 23\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Jul 28\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Aug 25\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Sep 22\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Oct 27\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Nov 24\, 2022 11:00 AM\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85662066892?pwd=L2REVUhtZmtHblM0ZjV0ZDNxN3FkUT09\nMeeting ID: 856 6206 6892 \nPasscode: 227214 \nAlthough\, we provide the Zoom details above\, please do remember to register otherwise we cannot email you material after the event.

SUMMARY:Launch of Andrew Lemon's historical novel\, The Pebbled Beach at Pentecost
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lemon AM has published widely in Australian history\, winning literary and historical awards and commendations. He is best known known for his epic three volume ‘The History of Australian Thoroughbred Racing’. His co-authored ‘Poor Souls\, They Perished’ won the Fellowship of Australian Writers’ Wilke Award\, and ‘The Master Gardener’ was long-listed for the 2018 Mark and Evette Moran Nib Literary Award. In 2012 he was a John Daniels Research Fellow at the National Sporting Library and Museum at Middleburg\, Virginia USA. A past president of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria\, Andrew holds the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Letters from the University of Melbourne. This is his first novel. \nVernon Lee Walker\, a young Englishman from industrial Wolverhampton\, meets his death on a beach on Pentecost Island in the South Pacific on the eve of Christmas 1887.\nWhy did Vernon die\, in what circumstances\, and who was responsible? Was he\, as once branded\, simply a ‘bad colonist’? Or was he a candide\, an innocent abroad\, mixing invisibly with the rich and famous\, manipulated by a calculating brother\, unable to change the world around him?\nAn historian finds Vernon’s letters home to England\, spanning a dozen years. With decreasing frequency\, these follow his trajectory\, first in Melbourne and Sydney\, then as he yields to the spell of the Pacific. But what happens between the lines? Does he fall in love with his brother’s wife? What does a boy not tell his mother?\nThe novelist steps in. This is a unique fusion of authentic history and informed invention – a tragic story of colonialism in Australia and the Pacific\, told with compassion\, humour and a deep understanding of time and place. \n‘Original\, authentic\, beautifully written\, a page turner. One of the best books we’ve read in ages. A prize winner – quite different\, a standout performance.’ – Vicki Steggall\, writer\, historian\, author of The Goannas of No.1 Martin Place\n‘A rich\, generous book and its scholarly underpinning is impressive.’ – Dr Brenda Niall AO\, FAHA\, Australian biographer\, literary critic and journalist \n  \nVenue:  Edendale Farm\, 30 Gastons Road\, Eltham (There is ample free car parking). \nProof of double vaccination for everyone over 18 is required before entry to Edendale Farm. \nTime: SUNDAY 6 MARCH 2.00pm until 3.30pm \nEntry: $35 PER PERSON (or $40 for couples)\nPrice includes one signed copy of the book or a $30 book voucher for Eltham Bookshop redeemable any time (stall available at the event) and light refreshments. \nIf you are not attending this event and would like to buy a copy of Andrew’s book\, the RHSV bookshop have stock \nThe Pebbled Beach at Pentecost: A novel by Andrew Lemon \n \nPREPAID BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL: ELTHAM bookshop 970 Main Road Eltham. \nBook here: https://elthambookshop.com.au/p/kalynn-bayron-event?barcode=CIR1644019360&selected_category=98463\nTel: (03) 9439 8700.

SUMMARY:The Plight of St Kilda’s 19th Century Servants
DESCRIPTION:In this fascinating and insightful presentation – St Kilda Historical Society’s first public event of 2022 – Carmel McKenzie will examine the living conditions and power dynamics of servants in nineteenth century St Kilda\, drawing on numerous case studies gleaned from primary sources. The research forms part of her soon to be published book: St Kilda 1841-1900: Movers and Shakers and Money-makers. \nReflecting its wealth\, St Kilda boasted the highest number of resident servants of any Melbourne suburb for much of the nineteenth century. Most were indentured under contracts that bound them to their employer for several years and those who left before completing their term committed a crime and risked forfeiting their wages. Female servants were expected to remain childless\, a stricture that led to the highest rate of infanticide in St Kilda outside of central Melbourne. \nKindly note:  We will be maintaining the mask requirement for this event. \nCost $10 – Booking Essential. Limited places. \nBookings: Plights of St Kilda’s 19th Century servants – public Tickets\, St Kilda Army and Navy Club\, St Kilda | TryBooking Australia

SUMMARY:ADRIFT IN AN ARMCHAIR WITH ROBYN ANNEAR
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne’s streets have always been marvellous—but the proud facades of the nineteenth-century boom aren’t the half of it.\nWhat about the stories behind them?\nThe great corset scandal of Melbourne’s belle epoque;\nThe heritage-listed toilets out the back of the Rialto;\nThe exploits of the women who ran the brothels in Little Lonsdale Street;\nThe reason George Mallaby starred in Homicide wearing a hat two sizes too small. \nRobyn Annear has devised 7 historic walks around Melbourne and\, in this event\, she will be taking us on one of those 7 walks\, albeit whilst we are seated comfortably at the RHSV with a glass of wine in hand. The walks showcase the hidden histories we might scurry past every day\, the buildings now gone and the extraordinary characters who inhabited them. Robyn\, as always\, will be charming\, erudite and frankly gossipy. \n\n\nAll seven walks appear in Robyn’s latest book\, Adrift in Melbourne\, her highly entertaining guide to Melbourne past and present. Whether you enjoy it on the hoof or from an armchair\, Adrift in Melbourne will inspire you to unleash your inner flâneur to uncover the historical surprises of this great city. \n\n\nIf you want to buy Adrift in Melbourne (great present for any Melburnian) click here. \nAs with all RHSV events held on-site\, we will serve drinks from 5:30pm until 6pm when Robyn’s talk will begin. \nIn 2022 we will be attempting to offer both on-site events and Zoom access too. The talk will be available as a download after the event for the same $10 cost as a ticket. \nThis is an RHSV Women’s History Month event
