SUMMARY:CATALOGUING CLINIC
DESCRIPTION:Calling all historical societies across Victoria. \nWe are launching a new initiative – a Cataloguing Clinic conducted through Zoom.  Jillian Hiscock\, our RHSV Collections Manager and a very experienced librarian\, will be available through Zoom to answer any queries you might have about cataloguing – or\, indeed any other aspect of your collection. \nIf you want\, you can email Jillian beforehand with your questions as sometimes it is easier to put something in writing.  Or just connect up on the day and pose your question then and give Jillian a surprise! (collections@historyvictoria.org.au) \nJillian will open with some basic cataloguing tips and we’ll take it from there. \nWe plan to make this a monthly clinic so you can use it as a forum whenever you want. You might want to just listen in for the hour and learn from other’s questions – or maybe you have the answers too. It will be a place for historical societies to get together and talk cataloguing and collections. \nInvitation to join Zoom Cataloguing Clinic \nThe Zoom details you need are: Topic: Cataloguing Clinic \nTime: Sep 10\, 2020 11:00 Melbourne\,  \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83526142927?pwd=eTU3LzdweFZzb2pkSmNrQXE3OTNCUT09 \nMeeting ID: 835 2614 2927\nPassword: 806138

SUMMARY:The Shelf Life of Zora Cross a presentation by Cathy Perkins
DESCRIPTION:The Shelf Life of Zora Cross – a presentation by Cathy Perkins\nTuesday\, 22 September 2020 4.45 pm for 5 pm\nvia Zoom (link will be sent on booking) \nPlease book numbers are limited \nEvent ran by the Camberwell Historical Society\nGeorge Fernand- enquiries@chs.org.au \nAustralian poet and journalist Zora Cross caused a sensation in 1917 with her book Songs of Love and Life. Here was a demure-looking young woman\, celebrating sexual passion in a provocative series of sonnets. She was hailed as a genius\, and many expected her to endure as a household name. While Cross’s fame didn’t last\, she kept writing through financial hardship\, personal tragedies and two world wars\, producing an impressive body of work. Her verse\, prose and correspondence with the likes of Ethel Turner\, George Robertson (of Angus & Robertson) and Mary Gilmore place Zora Cross among the key personalities of Australia’s literary world in the early twentieth century. \nCathy Perkins’ biography The Shelf Life of Zora Cross\, published in November 2019\, has received outstanding reviews and was recently shortlisted for a NSW Premier’s History Award. Cathy will talk about her discovery of Zora Cross in the archives of the State Library of NSW\, where she works as an editor\, and the many pleasures and challenges in writing her life story.

SUMMARY:Ross McMullin – ‘Turning Disaster into Victory: The Battle of Polygon Wood’
DESCRIPTION:The battle of Polygon Wood in September 1917 is one of the AIF’s most iconic but least understood victories. \nIt has usually been depicted as a relatively straightforward affair — the Australians advanced behind an irresistible barrage that resembled a Gippsland bushfire\, and there were inevitable casualties but no major hiccups. This interpretation is fundamentally flawed. \nThere was indeed a major hiccup that complicated the operation. The Germans\, sensing what was coming\, launched a ferocious pre-emptive attack against the AIF’s right. The 58th Battalion\, then holding the front line\, held firm despite severe casualties\, while the British unit alongside was driven back. AIF units earmarked for the following day’s operation were sent forward to retrieve the situation\, and further heavy losses resulted. \nWith enemy forces occupying the adjacent British sector\, General Pompey Elliott recommended that the operation be postponed. His superiors insisted that the attack had to proceed. Elliott had to overhaul the arrangements in great haste. He remained sceptical about assurances he was given that the plight on the right would be fixed before zero hour. It wasn’t. Even so\, men under his command attained the Australian objectives in their sector and ensured that the British objectives on their right were attained as well. \nWhen the real story is understood\, the extent of the AIF achievement at Polygon Wood can be properly appreciated. Dr Ross McMullin\, the award-winning biographer of Pompey Elliott\, will tell the story of the battle in a vivid and illuminating illustrated presentation. \nDate: 22 September 2020\nTime: Doors open 6:30 PM. Speaker 7:00 PM-8:00 PM. Refreshments to 8.30 PM.\nWhere: The Royal Historical Society\, 239 A’Beckett Street\, Melbourne.\nMHHV Members $10\, General Public $15. \nStrict Social Distancing regulations will apply.\nIt is necessary that all audience members pre-book their ticket so that we can organise the venue appropriately for your safety.\nBook your ticket here\n  \nDr Ross McMullin is an acclaimed biographer and historian\, and a lively and entertaining speaker. His biography Pompey Elliott won awards for biography and literature. Farewell\, Dear People: Biographies of Australia’s Lost Generation was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History and the National Cultural Award. His latest book is Pompey Elliott at War: In His Own Words. His biography of Australia’s first official war artist\, Will Dyson: Australia’s Radical Genius\, was highly commended by the judges of the National Biography Award. Other previous books include the ALP centenary history The Light on the Hill: The Australian Labor Party 1891-1991\, and another political history So Monstrous a Travesty: Chris Watson and The World’s First National Labour Government.
