SUMMARY:Tales from the MacRobertson International Air Races
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Victoria’s centenary in 1934\, Macpherson Robertson sponsored a great air race from England to Melbourne. There were originally 20 entrants of which only 12 arrived in Melbourne. The British winning entrants took a whisker under 3 days\, the last plane to arrive took some 4 months.\nThe Royal Historical Society of Victoria is mounting an exhibition which takes a close look at the entrants in the races (there were two races run concurrently – a speed race and a handicap race) including the Dutch entrant\, the Uiver. The Uiver (stork) is the most famous of the entries even though it came second. It was forced by bad weather to make an emergency landing in Albury where the locals used the town’s lights to spell A L B U R Y in morse code and then created a make-shift aerodrome on the racetrack using car headlights to con the plane down. Macpherson Robertson always maintained that the Uiver\, a commercial KLM flight that went to Batavia in the Dutch East Indies with a little extra hop to Australia\, came closest to his ideal as Robertson sponsored the race to encourage commercial flight not speed. \nThe first aircraft to finish was the De Havilland DH-88 Comet Grosvenor House\, a specially- designed racing aircraft flown by Charles W. A. Scott and Tom Campbell Black. Both pilots were much feted in Melbourne. Photos show a handsome pair being mobbed by thousands. The adulation didn’t last\, Campbell Black was killed by a plane propeller just 2 years later and Scott suicided. \nHarold Brook was the pilot with the least experience – barely the minimum 100 hours. He had a paying passenger\, the 28-year old Miss Ella Lay\, who knitted her way to Australia. She was a pilot herself and the only woman to travel the full race distance from Mildenhall in England to Melbourne. Ella stayed on in Melbourne\, took up nursing\, and in 1941 enlisted in the Australian Army Nursing Service in the very building where the exhibition is being held (the former Army Medical Corps Drill Hall). Ella died in 2005\, aged 99. The Times printed her obituary. \nThe race generated many more fabulous stories including C. J. “Jimmy” Melrose who at 21 was the youngest pilot and one of the few Australians. Jimmy was funded by his mother and his De Havilland Puss Moth was christened My Hildergarde in her honour. He too died\, too young\, just two years later in a plane crash. \nThe last plane to arrive was piloted by Ray Parer and Godfrey Hemsworth and funded by New Guinea miners. Another entry was owned by well-known Australian pioneer aviator Horrie Miller who at the time was managing director of MacRobertson-Miller Aviation. He engaged James Wood and Don Bennett to fly the race however they came unstuck in Aleppo. As Bennett wrote in his autobiography\, they “… hit the ground with a fair wallop and the undercarriage collapsed; down she went and the nose went in as we whipped over on our back. I was in the tail of the machine and my velocity from one end of the cabin to the other was remarkable. Even more astounding was the degree of “concertina-ing” of my body which took place at the far end.” That was the end of their race.

SUMMARY:LUNCH TIME MARKETING: GO VIRTUAL FOR HISTORY MONTH
DESCRIPTION:LUNCH TIME MARKETING:  BE INSPIRED & GO VIRTUAL FOR HISTORY MONTH\nOn Monday 13th September we are using our Lunchtime Marketing session to bring in lots of expertise in creating events and projects that can be run virtually\, through social media (Facebook\, Instagram etc) or platforms like Zoom or your website. It looks like we will be in lockdown for October\, History Month\, or\, at best with some level of restrictions making events in real space difficult. So we want to encourage every historical society to go virtual. These events and projects are quick to set up\, easy to manage\, free and fun with lots of positive benefits. \nJess Scott will be joined by a panel of gurus to talk about their experience with virtual events and projects – what worked\, what didn’t. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and tap into expertise. \nThe guest gurus include \n\nSteven Haby from Prahran Mechanics Institute\nAnne McNair works on Pramtracks\, a great project from the Gippsland History group on Facebook\, and co-administers the Gippsland Genealogy Noticeboard.\nGraham Peters uses virtual events extensively for his paid work but he is also very involved with the Gippsland History Facebook pages. (this group has 21\,000+ members!)\nLiz Pidgeon is the Local and Family History Librarian for Yarra Plenty Regional Library\nSue Neilson from Bunyip Historical Society\nHeather Arnold is a librarian with Casey Cardinia Libraries which holds Zoom events\, she also hosts several blogs and the following Facebook pages: Casey Cardinia Heritage\, Koo Wee Rup Swamp\, South Eastern Historical and she contributes to Lost Country Victoria and Lost Melbourne.\n\nWe provide the Zoom link below but please do register as we’ll be emailing information after the event to all participants.  \nTAKE THE CHALLENGE AND JOIN US TO GET (& SHARE) IDEAS\nSocial media has become the most influential and important virtual space to network\, build a community\, promote what you do\, find assistance\, sell books and events and connect. Social media networks are open to all and they are free\, giving historical societies a chance to connect with whoever shares their interests. \nFor historical societies it is a volunteer task that will attract younger members and it can be done anywhere\, anytime so doesn’t have time or geographic restraints. \nJess Scott\, the RHSV Marketing Officer\, will lead these marketing conversations\, starting with Facebook on the 9th of August. She will cover other social media channels in coming months. These are casual conversational forums so bring your questions and concerns. We already have a number of historical societies which use social media exceptionally well – creating virtual events as well as promoting what they do – we’ll be calling on them in future sessions to share the expertise too. \nA few facts\, since Jess started with the RHSV in mid- 2019 our bookshop sales have doubled\, we weathered COVID lock-downs exceptionally well because we were still active in the virtual world and our new members are on target to double this year – all in 2 years. \nLunch Time Marketing will be held on the following dates for the remainder of 2021 \n\nMon 13 Sep\, 2021 12 noon – 1pm\nMon 11 Oct\, 2021 12 noon – 1pm\nMon 8 Nov\, 2021 12 noon – 1pm\nMon 13 Dec\, 2021 12 noon – 1pm\n\nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZUpc-CsrTgsHdUXWND8AGsa8n1nz6rxvFdL/ics?icsToken=98tyKuGpqj8jHteWth6GRpwcBo-gXejztnZdgqdopCjLJ3hyRRD3buwTPKgpAsDG \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81449433671?pwd=SE53aHFFTks5STFrNFNOWlRYeDlydz09 \nMeeting ID: 814 4943 3671\nPasscode: 488811

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock\n  \nFor this clinic\, Jillian will be focusing on the cataloguing of objects (including medals). Please note that the clinic on Thu 23 Sept will start at 12:30pm not 11am. \nJillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these 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 remaining clinics for 2021 will be held (all via Zoom) on these dates: \n\nSep 23\, 2021 12:30pm\nOct 28\, 2021 11AM\nNov 25\, 2021 11AM\n\nEven though we’ve included the Zoom details below we do ask that you please register as\, after every clinic\, Jillian emails material to the participants. We can only do that if we have your email address. Also\, if anything untoward happens we can email registered participants to cancel or postpone. \nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZItd-yhqz8oHtJgxpBNwW8ieSnpwIWjKaLP/ics?icsToken=98tyKuGurjsvE9GRsh2BRpwAAoigZ_PwmClBgrd3mwf1IQ5EVVv_M9FMIqVWJ9L7 \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

SUMMARY:THE BRILLIANT BOY  Gideon Haigh talks about Doc Evatt
DESCRIPTION:THE BRILLIANT BOY\nGideon Haigh talks about  Doc Evatt\nWe are thrilled that Gideon Haigh will talk about his latest book\, The Brilliant Boy and the Great Australian Dissent\, for the RHSV on Wednesday 29th of September. The event will be chaired by Dr E W Russell. \n\n\n\n\nIn a quiet Sydney street in 1937\, a seven year-old immigrant boy drowned in a ditch that had filled with rain after being left unfenced by council workers. How the law should deal with the trauma of the family’s loss was one of the most complex and controversial cases to reach Australia’s High Court\, where it seized the imagination of its youngest and cleverest member. \nThese days\, ‘Doc’ Evatt is remembered mainly as the hapless and divisive opposition leader during the long ascendancy of his great rival Sir Robert Menzies. Yet long before we spoke of ‘public intellectuals’\, Evatt was one: a dashing advocate\, an inspired jurist\, an outspoken opinion maker\, one of our first popular historians and the nation’s foremost champion of modern art. Through Evatt’s innovative and empathic decision in Chester v the Council of Waverley Municipality\, which argued for the law to acknowledge inner suffering as it did physical injury\, Gideon Haigh rediscovers the most brilliant Australian of his day\, a patriot with a vision of his country charting its own path and being its own example – the same attitude he brought to being the only Australian president of the UN General Assembly\, and instrumental in the foundation of Israel. \nA feat of remarkable historical perception\, deep research and masterful storytelling\, The Brilliant Boy confirms Gideon Haigh as one of our finest writers of non-fiction. It shows Australia in a rare light\, as a genuinely clever country prepared to contest big ideas and face the future confidently. \n‘Here is a master craftsman delivering one of his most finely honed works. Meticulous in its research\, humane in its storytelling\, The Brilliant Boy is Gideon Haigh at his lush\, luminous best. Haigh shines a light on person\, place and era with the sheer force of his intellect and the generosity of his words. The Brilliant Boy is simply a brilliant book.’ Clare Wright\, Stella-Prize winning author of The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka \n‘Gideon Haigh has a nose for Australian stories that light up the past from new angles\, and he tells this one with verve\, grace and lightly worn erudition. I couldn’t put it down.’ Judith Brett\, The Saturday Paper \n‘An absolutely remarkable\, moving and elegant re-reading of the early life of an extraordinary Australian. Gideon Haigh is one of Australia’s finest writers and thinkers … mesmerizing … one of the best Australian biographies I have read for a long time.’ Michael McKernan\, Canberra Times \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGideon Haigh has been a journalist for almost four decades\, published more than 40 books and contributed to more than 100 newspapers and magazines. His books include The Cricket Wars\, The Summer Game and On Warne (which won numerous prizes) on cricket\, and works on BHP\, James Hardie and how abortion became legal in Australia. His book The Office: A Hardworking History won the NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction. He has appeared widely on radio and TV.\n\nGideon Haigh says about himself on his website\, “I’m an independent journalist\, in the trade more than thirty years. I was born in London\, went to school in Geelong\, and now live in Melbourne. I write about cricket a bit\, mainly for The Australian and The Times; I write about other stuff that interests me too. This is a list of the publications to which I’ve contributed\, some of which have survived. I don’t blog\, tweet or Facebook. Sorry.” His website is worth visiting\, if for no other reason\, that to immerse yourself in Gideon’s splendid list of things he likes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the same time as Gideon’s book\, The Brilliant Boy\, was being launched he was\, together with Graeme Davison\, leading the very successful campaign to get proper funding for the National Archives of Australia. \nDr. E.W. (Bill) Russell has held a number of positions in the Commonwealth and Victorian Public Service. These positions have included Archivist\, Public Record Office; Research Director\, Commonwealth Public Service Board; Director of Research and Special Projects\, Victorian Public Service Board and Director of Research\, Public Bodies Review Committee (Parliament of Victoria). He has had a long association with Public Record Office Victoria\, having been an archivist 1968–74\, a member of the Task Force on Records Management 1978–80\, and Director-General of the Department of Property and Services\, of which PROV was a Division\, 1985–88. Bill obtained his Diploma of Archive Studies from University College\, London\, in 1973 and was the first Victorian archivist to hold formal qualifications in archives. His doctorate in history at Monash University\, completed in 1980\, was based on records in PROV. In 1982 Dr. Russell was appointed to the position of Secretary for Minerals and Energy and in 1985 he became Director General\, Department of Property and Services. In 1988 Dr. Russell took up the position of Professor\, Public Sector Management within Monash University’s Graduate School of Management. \nThis event will be a Zoom event (we did hope to have it in real space). Zoom details will be sent to participants 24 hours before the event.
