SUMMARY:Camp Reserve Castlemaine Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Public Meeting about the goldfields site Camp Reserve in Castlemaine. This site was the former military parade grounds of the colonial administration of the goldrush. It sits at the centre of the Gold Commissioner’s Camp historic precinct. Currently the Camp Reserve historic landscape is under threat of an unsympathetic redevelopment which turns a rural green scenic space of shared sporting and community use\, into a suburban\, modern sports precinct. There will be loss of significant large old trees\, topography and historic views. Camp Reserve is protected by HO668 Camp Reserve and Environs and is listed on the VHR archaeological inventory.\nCome to an information session at the Old Castlemaine Gaol.\nLodge an objection to PA077/2025

SUMMARY:Women’s History Month: Who? Hester Hornbrook and her ladies: Melbourne's first social carers in the 1850s and 1860s
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, to celebrate Women’s History Month\, the RHSV offers our Women’s History lecture\, part of our Distinguished Lecture series. \nFor 2026\, we are delighted to have Roslyn Otzen presenting on Hester Hornbrook\, whose work in creating 1850s Melbourne’s first social supports saved thousands of people from lives and deaths in misery\, and formed the basis of future social support systems in Victoria. \nWho? Hester Hornbrook and her ladies: Melbourne’s first social carers in the 1850s and 1860s\nRoslyn Otzen completed her PhD on the 1854 origins of the Melbourne City Mission\, and its founders\, who included a woman named Hester Hornbrook. While researching Hester\, and the many other women who worked with her\, Roslyn uncovered a trove of unknown information\, not only about the women\, but the essential work they did in caring for gold-rushing newcomers to Melbourne who were entirely unsupported when they fell on hard times. Together\, the women created Melbourne’s first social services. No one has heard of any of them. History has ignored them. Roslyn had to find out why — and introduce them firmly into the story of Melbourne. \nAbout Roslyn Otzen\nRoslyn Otzen\, an educator and former Principal of Korowa AGS\, completed her PhD thesis on the early Melbourne City Mission\, and served a term on the MCM Board. She became the inaugural Chair of the Hester Hornbrook Academy Board\, and continues as a Director. She still studies the MCM’s early days\, and especially the work of its women\, whose own lives have been a closed book\, until on-line access to records of the past have enabled their recovery. She has published several histories\, including a biography of Dr John Singleton\, another founder of the MCM. Other publications include Grace and Strength: Calisthenics in Australia (2011) and To Begin The World Anew: How Particular Nobodies Made Australia (2022). \nHouse-keeping\nThe Zoom log-in details will be sent\, 24 hours before the event\, to all those who have booked – please check your Spam or Junk Mail folder if you cannot find the email in your in-box. The Zoom event will start at 6pm (30 mins later than the in-person event). \nRefreshments (non-alcoholic) will be available from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture will commence.

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinics 2026
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. \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. The RHSV does not endorse any particular cataloguing software – we believe it is horses for courses – and Jillian will talk about issues that impact on cataloguing whether you are using cataloguing cards or software. \nThe one-hour clinics are free and the Zoom log-in below is used every month in 2026\, however\, we do ask you to register each month as this enables Jillian to send you extra material / links etc. after each session. \nSessions:\n11am (AEDT) Thursday 26 February 2026\n11am (AEDT) Thursday 26 March 2026\n11am (AEST) Thursday 30 April 2026\n11am (AEST) Thursday 28 May 2026\n11am (AEST) Thursday 25 June 2026\n11am (AEST) Thursday 30 July 2026\n11am (AEST) Thursday 27 August 2026\n11am (AEST) Thursday 24 September 2026\n11am (AEDT) Thursday 29 October 2026\n11am (AEDT) Thursday 26 November 2026\n \n\nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZAud-6tqzIoGNf-ekfqpiWBEHdAbuAa0G3b/ics?icsToken=DBe3YaR2rWqpdyikkwAALAAAADyjOH6VBdnDNJVxTNzQkfTHikoppcqgC1xDy7OQqB8rXvVASnt-Y8zRVVuLxrQydnxsUfcu84sfef7OJDAwMDAwMQ&meetingMasterEventId=FY4VyCTcTh6FmDBdzDJrwg \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84307559223 \nMeeting ID: 843 0755 9223\nPasscode: 517973 \nJoin instructions\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meetings/84307559223/invitations?signature=rozCoa22a48VMzpAjeAsb42g9UVJvKwL-kG9nWOezJU
