SUMMARY:KALEIDOSCOPE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is biography imagined through the lens of a Kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative. Each time the kaleidoscope turns\, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing\, new reflections\, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all. \nin 2021\, during Women’s History Month we launched the RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary\, an online resource which builds profiles of women who have been involved in the RHSV over its 113 year history. This project is the work of Dr Cheryl Griffin and from this online resource\, Cheryl has curated Kaleidoscope\, launched in March 2022 by Judi Maddigan\, which looks at the lives of 50 of those important women. \nCURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN\nEXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL\nEXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT\nThe exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

SUMMARY:WORKING OUT THE (HI)STORY OF SITES AND LANDSCAPES: Indigenous knowledge\, archaeology\, geomorphology & 3D modelling working together
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Bruno David & GunaiKurnai Elder Russell Mullett \nRock Art Australia\, in partnership with Monash University\, invite you to join us for a public lecture presented by Prof. Bruno David & Elder Russell Mullett about community-driven research combining science with Aboriginal knowledge. \nBruno is renowned internationally for his trans-disciplinary research that combines archaeology\, geomorphology and other sources of information to reveal the (hi)story of sites and landscapes going deeply back in time. In this lecture\, he will show how archaeology and geomorphology have been combined with 3D modelling to reveal rock art sites as shaped architectural monuments both in Australia and overseas. \nTogether\, Bruno and GunaiKurnai Elder Russell Mullett will reveal details of two special caves in East Gippsland\, Victoria. Without the local GunaiKurnai knowledge\, the special meanings of those caves remain unknown. Combining the archaeology\, geomorphology and 3D modelling with the Aboriginal knowledge not only brings to light more profound details of the sites’ (hi)story than would otherwise be available\, but also brings to light exciting new\, community-driven research possibilities for the future. \nRefreshments will be served after the lecture courtesy of Monash University\n\nREGISTRATIONS CLOSE TUESDAY 24 MAY 2022\nThis is a free event however registrations are essential: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=901185& \nBruno David is professor in archaeology at the Monash Indigenous Studies Centre and a Chief Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage. He is a member of Rock Art Australia’s Science Advisory Council and has been working on RAA-funded research in the Kimberley.  Bruno works closely in partnership with Aboriginal communities who request research that is of interest to the Traditional Owners. His specialties are rock art\, landscape archaeology and trans-disciplinary research\, working together in teams across traditional disciplinary boundaries. He has published 17 books including Cave Art (2017\, Thames & Hudson)\, The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology and Anthropology of Rock Art (2018)\, and The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Indigenous Australia and New Guinea (2022). \nGunaiKurnai Elder Russell Mullett (Registered Aboriginal Party Manager\, GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation\, Gippsland\, Victoria) has worked and researched in cultural heritage for over 30 years.

SUMMARY:Exodus from Vienna
DESCRIPTION:Following the 1938 annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany\, many members of Vienna’s vibrant Jewish community sought safe havens overseas to escape growing persecution. Amongst them were Michael and Regine Weiss and their family. Their story\, as told through records held by the National Archives of Australia and other information provided by their descendants\, reveals much about Australia’s attitudes towards Jewish refugees during these dark days. Presented by Patrick Ferry (National Archives of Australia) and Angus Davison (Monash University History student) in conjunction with the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation. \nThis will be a hybrid event. The real-space event will be held at the Victorian Archives Centre\, 99 Shiel Street\, North Melbourne. Those who attend in person can also tour the NAA’s exhibition\, Out of this world: Australia in the space age \nIt will also be available as a Zoom presentation. Once you book a place in this free Zoom event you will be sent an automatic email confirmation. If you don’t receive this confirmation\, please check your Junk Mail or Spam folder as automatic emails often go astray. Then\, 24 hours before the event\, we will send you the necessary Zoom log-in details. \n  \nImage captions: \nThese three images are from the National Archives of Australia’s collection.  \n\nVisa stamps from Michael’s passport\, showing stamps signifying where they were headed (Australia)\, what they were fleeing (Nazi occupied Vienna) and how they got there (via Shanghai). \nMichael and Regine Weiss’ passport photographs

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 remaining clinics in 2022 will be held (via Zoom) on: \n\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:The Rise and Fall of the Iron Bridge
DESCRIPTION:In June we are thrilled that Miles Lewis will be returning to the RHSV\, in partnership with Engineering Heritage Victoria to talk about Iron Bridges. \nThe earliest cast iron bridges imitated those in timber or stone\, because there was no established idea of what an iron bridge should be like\, and most of them were simple arches. But over the next century wrought iron\, and then steel\, became important bridge-building materials.  The arch bridge was joined by the suspension bridge\, the box girder\, the parallel-chorded girder\, and even more elaborate forms.  And bridges fabricated in Europe were sent across the world to places like Latin America\, Japan\, and India.  Exported bridges faced special problems – the cost and difficulty of transporting the components\, the lack of skilled labour at the site\, and unexpected foundation problems and hydrological conditions. These prefabricated bridges will be the main focus of the presentation. \nMiles Lewis\, AM FAHA\, is an architectural historian specialising in the interaction between technology and culture in areas such as vernacular architecture and prefabrication\, and in technical innovation generally.  He edited the international text Architectura\, and has this year published a book\, Architectural Drawings: Collecting in Australia.  He is an emeritus professor of the University of Melbourne\, and currently a member of the Portable Buildings World Heritage Nomination Task Force.

SUMMARY:The Edwardian Garden - golden and delicious: Special online lecture by Caroline Holmes.
DESCRIPTION:The Edwardian Garden – golden and delicious:  Special online lecture by renowned UK Garden Historian\, Caroline Holmes. \nGardens of a golden afternoon are glimpsed in black and white photographs and nostalgic cottage paintings. The Mediterranean inspired the architecture of Harold Peto’s designs and the colours in Gertrude Jekyll’s early paintings and later plantings. Peto’s richest client was Daisy\, Countess of Warwick\, for whom he designed in the grand Italianate manner at Warwick House. Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens collaborated in 70 projects creating the Surrey Style as showcased in the architecture and gardens of her former home\, Munstead Wood. Not just Surrey\, their influences inspired the country house and garden style across the world whilst echoing the need to understand local practicalities. The kitchen garden inspired visual and edible feasts in the ground and on the plates of contemporary gardening books. Jekyll wrote many gardening books which were published across the world in English speaking countries\, her attention to drifting colours in flower borders came to represent the quintessential ‘Edwardian’ garden.
