Yet traces do remain\, poignant and important. They tell the stories of girls and young women who grew up in 19th and early 20th-century Victoria and the central role they played in our society. \nThis exhibition at Como House in South Yarra will illuminate these traces\, featuring handiwork\, scrapbooks\, writing\, archaeological artefacts and photographs. \nExploring themes including opportunities and expectations\, work and play\, learning and connections\, Traces of Girlhood brings together the diverse experiences of girls from our past through the things they have left behind. \nBook tickets for the weekend Open House sessions to view the exhibition at your own pace\, or join a house tour to learn more of the history and stories of Como House & Garden. \nThis exhibition is generously supported by The Hansen Little Public Humanities Grant\, Faculty of Arts\, University of Melbourne\, and presenting partner Heritage Victoria.

There were no Visitors’ Books to reveal her networks\, and few letters written in her own hand. Family material that came to light in 2018 provided some clues\, and a German genealogist found others\, but for her biography the details of her life in Melbourne were largely sourced from newspapers and government records. The story that emerged was the story of Melbourne’s sex industry from 1871 to its criminalisation in 1908. \nBarbara Minchinton is a historian and independent researcher who has worked extensively with the collections of the Public Record Office Victoria as a volunteer. Her first book The Women of Little Lon: Sex Workers in Nineteenth-Century Melbourne won the Victorian Community History Publication Award for 2022. Barbara’s latest book\, published in July 2024 by La Trobe University Press\, is Madame Brussels: The Life and Times of Melbourne’s Most Notorious Woman. \nBarbara’s books will be available for purchase on the night and Barbara is happy to sign copies. \nHousekeeping \nThis event will be hybrid so presented in person in our rooms and also via ZOOM. Those purchasing Zoom tickets will be sent the log-in details 24hrs before the event. \nAn automatically generated confirmation of booking email is sent on booking – please check your Trash or Spam folders if this email does not turn up in your In Box. \nAs with most of our events\, refreshments will be served from 5:30pm – 6pm when the lecture starts (the Zoom session also starts at 6pm). There will be Q&A at the end of the lecture.

In 1873\, the library published a catalogue of these gifts\, listing an array of donors from emperors and kings to more humble colonists. In part a celebration\, in part an appeal for more gifts\, the catalogue provides an insight into the literary culture of the time. Historian Shane Carmody will discuss book culture in the early years of the Colony of Victoria\, featuring eminent donors and their fascinating donations to the Melbourne Public Library collection. \nSpeaker: Shane Carmody \nThursday 18th July\, 6-8pm\nPresented by The C J LaTrobe Society at Tonic House\n386 Flinders Lane\, Melbourne \nInformation: dmreilly@optusnet.com.au \nClick here to register  \n  \nThis event is part of Rare Book Week.\nYou can access the full program here.

Beginning when the Library declared itself into existence in on the 1st of May 1854. The challenges of the early years\, including how the Committee dealt with a squatting Secretary Librarian\, then onto how the collection\, at the time\, came to be described by Aeneas Gunn as “without exception to be in a shockingly neglected and filthy condition.” \nThe 20th century saw the Library survive war\, pandemic\, and hostile takeover and to ultimately make the decision to specialize in Victorian History\, which has seen it stay relevant. \nThe talk also includes a tour of the PMI’s 170th exhibition and the stories behind it. \nBookings are essential.

Beyond mere entertainment\, it’s a reflection of youth sentiment. In the past\, it echoed Gen X rebellion with bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Today\, it’s a diverse tapestry showcasing female artists\, LGBTQ+ voices\, and people of colour\, mirroring a generational shift. This countdown isn’t just about music; it’s a space where young Aussies steer the conversation. Their votes drive the event’s success\, inadvertently giving them a platform and a voice in shaping cultural dialogue. \nBookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.

The exhibition was prompted by the upcoming publication of  The Story of Melbourne’s Lanes: Essential but Unplanned by Weston Bate\, Richard Broome\, Nicole Davis\, Andrew J. May\, Helen Stitt  which will be launched on 3rd October 2024. \nWe all have our favourite Melbourne laneway and curator David Thompson has chosen a handful of lanes which reveal intriguing Melbourne stories. When we think of today’s gussied-up\, tourist-friendly laneways like Guilford Lane and Hosier Lane\, it is hard to imagine that a mere 50 years ago the laneways were workaday places full still of small factories and light industry. \nOther dates available: \n26 June \n28 August \n9 October  URL:https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/event/curators-tour-of-melbournes-storied-laneways-with-david-thompson-3/ LOCATION:RHSV Gallery Downstairs\, 239 A'Beckett St\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, 3000\, Australia CATEGORIES:What's On ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Print-A0-Laneway-poster-image-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Royal Historical Society of Victoria":MAILTO:office@historyvictoria.org.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20240926T110000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20240926T120000 DTSTAMP:20260420T041631 CREATED:20221207T014636Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240729T044145Z UID:10000839-1727348400-1727352000@www.historyvictoria.org.au SUMMARY:CATALOGUING CLINICS 2024 DESCRIPTION:Join Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, each month in this informative and easy-going Zoom forum on all aspects of cataloguing collections for historical societies. \nIn 2024’s first Cataloguing Clinic for the year\, Jillian will talk about collection management\, what you keep or don’t keep\, when you catalogue material as an archive or a collection and any issues around the actual collection. \nJillian has a different topic each month and is happy to be guided by those who attend as to what they would like covered in upcoming clinics. Bring your questions (no matter the topic) – this is an interactive space where questions are encouraged.
