SUMMARY:Up from the vaults: As the River Flows
DESCRIPTION:The changing shape of Birrarung (Yarra River) \nIn the first outing of our ‘Up from the Vaults’ series for 2020\, Dr Liz Dean from the School of Social and Political Sciences will explore the significance of Birrarung (the Yarra River). \nIn 2017 the Victorian Government implemented the landmark Yarra River Protection Wilip-gin Birrarung murron Act 2017; legislation which recognises the Yarra River as a living entity and acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as its traditional custodians\, while also protecting the river for future generations. \n‘Wilip-gin Birrarung murron’ translates as ‘keep the Birrarung alive’ in Woi-wurrung; and significantly\, the act was the first legislation in Australia to be co-titled in a Traditional Owner language. \nWhile largely overlooked\, this Act can promote public discussions about Sovereignty. In granting the rights of the river\, the boundaries of ownership are put into question. It also creates a focus on Indigenous representations of the Birrarung/Yarra River and on Indigenous knowledge of and care for the river\, how rivers shape themselves and how the settler state altered the Yarra River. The early representations of this river help us begin to explore the diverse layers of the river and the spaces it occupies. \nImage: George William Perry ‘Princes Bridge and the Yarra in flood\, December’ 1863 albumen photograph The University of Melbourne Art Collection.

SUMMARY:RHSV History Bookclub
DESCRIPTION:This will be the inaugural meeting of our History Bookclub. And the first book chosen is Chloe Hooper’s The Arsonist: A mind on fire.  \nThe bookclub will focus on Victorian history but there may be little deviations. It will be moderated at first but it is planned for it to be self-sufficient. We will organise occasional author visits and guest speakers. The group size will be capped. There will be monthly meetings – currently planned for the 2nd Tuesday of each month. A bookclub is\, of course\, focused on the book but the word ‘club’ in the title is there for a reason – we want these gatherings to be fun. \nIf you have queries\, please contact Rosemary / 9326 9288 / rosemary.cameron@historyvictoria.org.au \nThe Arsonist is available through the History Victoria Bookshop at the discounted price of $19 \nThe Arsonist was awarded a Judge’s Special Prize in the 2019 Victorian Community History Awards. The Judges’ citation is: \n“This powerful and suspenseful story of the 2009 bushfires in the Latrobe Valley is told from the perspectives of the police\, the victims\, the alleged perpetrator and his parents. The drama revolves around the accused\, Brendan Sokaluk from Churchill\, a social misfit with a cognitive disability. The author raises the issue as to what extent was he knowingly responsible for the inferno as she reflects on the nature of his disability and pyromania theories. \nThe backdrop is a disadvantaged community that experienced widespread unemployment after privatisation of the State’s energy grid and loss of community facilities at Yallourn and elsewhere owing to obeisance to coal mining. \nHooper uses a novelist’s skills to evoke the savage fury of the fire\, a monster unleashed on a hapless little community\, but her writing is anchored in fact; her sources are primarily the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission and court records. Her creative narrative represents a compelling way of telling the history of a catastrophe.”

SUMMARY:2020 McIntyre Lecture: Nigel Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Nigel Lewis is a heritage architect who entered private practice in 1976. Early projects included the first urban conservation projects for many parts of inner Melbourne and rural historic site surveys. As a resident of Kew for a large part of his life\, his knowledge and interest in contemporary architecture is long-standing. \nThe Kew Historical Society’s 2020 McIntyre Lecture will explore how modern buildings slip through the net due to formulaic application of planning controls. Street presentation of modernist buildings will be a major theme of the lecture.

SUMMARY:Hidden Melbourne: A Photographic Story of Melbourne Through the Ages with Barney Meyer
DESCRIPTION:A Photographic Story of Melbourne Through the Ages looks at two major events which took place in the 1800s: The birth of photography and the birth of Melbourne; the most liveable city in the world. One location in Melbourne is most remarkable from the perspective of the history of the city and of image-making technology. This is illustrated by four panoramic views of the city over 176 years\, as captured from the spire of Scots’ Church on the NW corner of Collins and Russell Streets. \nBarney will take you on a Virtual Tour of Melbourne\, starting at the birth of Melbourne with a highly detailed 360° camera lucida view of the town from the top of the new Scot’s Church in 1841. Visit this site again in 1875 to see a 360° photographic view of Melbourne City from the spire through collodion glass plates. In 1963\, the spire suffered severe lightning damage and was lowered 40 feet. In 1989\, it was rebuilt and restored in height\, at which time\, 11 overlapping views of the city were captured from the spire\, forming a 360° panoramic view. In 2017\, a modern 360° view was captured from the spire by Hidden Melbourne using a CMOS sensor. \nWith Virtual Tour technology\, you are able to stand on the spire as if you were virtually there. Barney will demonstrate Time Travel by allowing you to switch between the stages of Melbourne’s development and to see annotated landmarks. By linking old and new views into a timeline\, this journey will tell the story of Melbourne’s growth and transformation as well as the development of image-making technology. \n10:00am Morning Coffee\n10:45am Talk begins \nBookings essential:\nFriends of MGA $10 | $5 talk only\nNon-members $12| $6 talk only

SUMMARY:What the Little Bird didn't tell me
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.\nTwenty years ago I wrote a book that documented a journey I had been on for over a decade. The book was A Little Bird Told: Family Secrets\, Necessary Lives. This book represented a journey of discovery where I located my Aboriginal ancestors and answered a number of questions that had dogged my family for generations. Along the way\, I discovered a story of secrets and lies\, of madness\, and refuge.  In this talk\, I will reflect on this book nearly 20 years later with a focus on the importance of women as the keepers and tellers of family stories. In so doing I will consider the reasons why I wrote the book\, what impact it had at the time and its ongoing influence. I hope that these reflections might have something to say to other family historians. I want to question whether there are there some family secrets and necessary lies that should never be told? \nProfessor Lynette Russell AM is an award-winning historian and Indigenous studies scholar. In 2020 she is taking up an Australian Research Council’s Laureate Fellowship to examine Global Encounters and First Nations People: 1000 Years of Australian History. \n

SUMMARY:‘Wings of Peace 1920-2020’ Centenary of Australia First Official Air Race\, Serpentine Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Please contact the organiser before attending this event in case it has been cancelled. \nIn 1920 post WWI\, the small village of Serpentine Victoria was selected to be the starting point of Australia’s first government sponsored aerial derby (as racing was often referred during that era). This was the first of numerous events to follow around the nation in the years after WWI. \nThe 1920 event was part of the promotion of the Second Peace Loan to raise funds to pay for the return\, repatriation and care of the many soldiers and nurses to settle them back into community way of life after the Great European War. \nThe 2020 centenary event is of national significance for the benefit of aviators\, airplane enthusiasts\, historians and families who have an interest in airplanes\, our community\, our history. This event will raise awareness that there are still Veterans in need\, as were First World War Veterans who benefited from money raised one hundred years ago. Legacy will be a beneficiary of the efforts of the ‘Wings of Peace 1920 – 2020’ commemoration to aid their continuing support for service men\, women and their families. \nThe Air Race Centenary Committee will bring the roar of planes to Serpentine again to recreate the atmosphere of 1920. Biplane owners and aviators are invited to participate in a 70 mile air race across the region. Heritage/vintage airplanes are also invited to be part of a fly in and/or fly over with an opportunity to be part of a ground based display of airplanes and other modes of 1920’s transport i.e. vintage cars. Paul Bennet Air Shows will bring you an exciting aerobatics display. \nFurther information see Facebook pages: East Loddon Historical Society and Serpentine Air Race. Find all the days scheduled details and tickets on web page: https://serpentineairrace.com.au/ Come celebrate and commemorate the centenary of Australia first official air race Saturday March 21st 2020\, Loddon Valley Highway\, Serpentine\, Victoria.

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.
