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:Bory Latour-Marliac – the source of water lilies before and beyond Monet
DESCRIPTION:Long before Mendel’s work was known\, Bory Latour-Marliac (1830-1911) engineered daring water lily couplings with consummate skill\, meticulous care and acute observation. His previously unrecorded letters reveal a horticultural world wide web into which he launched his finest hardy hybrids. From the outset he corresponded with Japan\, South-East Asia and the United States. The earliest international recognition of his hybrids came in the form of a gold medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris attended by millions including Monet. Monet had moved to Giverny in 1883\, his first order to Latour-Marliac in 1894 for a range of water and bog plants included lotus and water lilies. It could be argued that the plants from Latour-Marliac’s nursery were the genesis of Monet’s creation of a unique water landscape\, now much imitated and copied – how many ‘Monet’s Garden’ installations have you seen? Caroline Holmes will use this presentation to navigate primary sources and delve the depths in an exploration of the history\, science\, networking and sheer pleasure of Latour-Marliac. The good news is that like Monet’s garden\, the Latour-Marliac nursery thrives today. This presentation includes immersion in Monet’s monumental water lily panels at Paris’s Musée de l’Orangerie painted and donated by him to reflect on and commemorate the appalling loss of life during World War One. Today we can follow in the footsteps of both Monet and Latour-Marliac taking their visitors to their respective ponds in Giverny and Le Temple-sur-Lot to admire and discuss their blooms. \nDate: Wednesday July 7th\nTime: 6pm\nVenue: Online\nPrice: $12 AGHS & Friends RBGV members\, $15 non-members \nTrybooking link – https://www.trybooking.com/BQWPH \nBooking note: If you choose to attend online a Zoom link will be sent to you separately after bookings close \nCaroline Holmes is a Garden Historian\, author of 12 books including ‘Monet at Giverny’ and ‘Impressionists in their Gardens’. She was keynote speaker at the International Water Gardens Conference held at Giverny in 2019. Course Director for University of Cambridge ICE\, accredited lecturer for The Arts Society and has spoken on every continent except Antarctica. Her design consultancies range from Human Renaissance gardens surrounding Notre Dame-de-Calais to devising the planting for The Poison Garden within The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland. Academic but not dry\, she likes to sift the humour from the humus. www.horti-history.com

SUMMARY:History of the Spencer Street Bridge
DESCRIPTION:History of the Spencer Street Bridge\nHave you ever noticed the Spencer Street Bridge? Arguably nondescript\, this dependable 1930 structure has a backstory of political infighting\, pioneering technology and an unexpected obstacle pre-dating the bridge by several millennia. City of Melbourne local history librarian Fiona Campbell will lead a visual journey through the design\, construction and significance of this enduring bridge. \nWe are delighted to partner again with Engineering Heritage Victoria to present this talk by Fiona Campbell\, Local History Librarian at East Melbourne Library and bridge enthusiast. \nFiona graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Arts in 1994. Majoring in French and English literature\, she also studied visual arts\, Australian architecture and linguistics. From 1995 she studied horticulture at Burnley College (University of Melbourne) while working in retail nurseries and discovering an enduring interest in botany. \nLed by an innate love of libraries and information\, in 2002 Fiona undertook the Diploma of Library and Information Services at Swinburne University of Technology\, which happily landed her in public library employment from 2003. She secured her current position of Reader Services and Local History Librarian at East Melbourne Library in 2007\, and obtained the Graduate Diploma in Information Management with Distinction at RMIT in 2009. Specialising in local history has enabled Fiona to develop her inner history detective. Her work includes management of archival collections\, responding to local history enquiries\, events programming and resource training. She works to increase cultural and heritage awareness in the community by inspiring interest in our local stories and promoting the wealth of freely available resources. \nSince 2018 she has been preoccupied with researching the history and construction of the Spencer Street Bridge and she is currently working on a book about the history of the bridge which she hopes to have published in 2021. \nRefreshments from 5:30pm – 6pm \nLecture 6pm – 7pm \nPhoto caption: Spencer Street Bridge in 1930 (State Library of Victoria)

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:Please note that the clinic held on Thursday 21st July has had a time change – it will now start at 12:30pm and run until 1:30pm. \nThis month Jillian will be looking at the issues around cataloguing oral history material including aspects of permission. \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 clinics for the remainder of 2021 will be held (all via Zoom) on these dates: \n\nJul 22\, 2021 11AM\nAug 26\, 2021 11AM\nSep 23\, 2021 11AM\nOct 28\, 2021 11AM\nNov 25\, 2021 11AM\n\n  \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:Welcome to new RHSV members
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to new RHSV members\nEvery year we like to host an event or two in the Drill Hall\, before one of our lectures\, to welcome our new members. We serve drinks and cheese and the staff give new members a background briefing on the RHSV and its treasures. So you’ll learn about our Collection from Jillian Hiscock\, our Collections Manager\, and Helen Stitt who looks after our huge images collection and our EO\, Rosemary Cameron\, will outline all the other membership benefits and how you can make the most of your membership. \nBecause we weren’t able to host these events last year we have a bit of catching up to do! We’ve scheduled 5 of these events over the coming months and new members are welcome to attend whichever one suits them. Our lectures are usually $5 or $10 for members ($20 for non-members) however\, if you book for a new member event you can attend the following lecture free-of-charge. \nWe’d love to see you at one of these events – please indicate in the RSVPs if you want to attend just the New Member Welcome or the New Member Welcome + Lecture \nPlease note that these events will only go ahead if we are not in lockdown – we really need to be in the Drill Hall to show you what the RHSV is all about. If we are in lockdown we’ll be holding more New Member Welcomes at some point in the future and we’ll contact you again.  \nNew Member lecture 4:30pm – 5:30pm\, drinks continue until just before 6pm. Lecture 6pm – 7pm (includes Q&A). \nThe  remaining lecture is: \nTue 19 Oct: Barbara Minchinton on The Women of Little Lon \nImage caption:  Holy Trinity Church of England\, Bay Street\, Port Melbourne by Samuel Hemming\, 1853\, erected under the supervision of Knight\, Kemp and Kerr\, 1855.

SUMMARY:Portable Buildings in Australia by Miles Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Portable Buildings in Australia by Miles Lewis\nPLEASE NOTE: This lecture will be delivered both on-site at the RHSV and also simultaneously delivered via Zoom. We have reached our capacity for a on-site audience and attendance via Zoom only is now available. \nWe are delighted to present this event in partnership with Engineering Heritage Victoria. \nPortable buildings\, today referred to as prefabricated\, were imported in larger numbers to Australia than to any other part of the world during the nineteenth century. They were made not merely of timber and iron\, but of oilcloth\, slate\, zinc\, papier mâché\, and ‘portable brick’.  More also survive in Australia than anywhere else\, though not of those more ephemeral materials. They range through iron lighthouses\, cottages of ‘teak’ from Singapore\, German glazed conservatories\, plate iron fronted buildings from Glasgow\, and redwood houses from California. Many are of the greatest technical interest\, and in few cases do any examples survive in the country of origin.  For these reasons it has been proposed that they should be nominated as a group for World Heritage Listing.  This presentation will sample these various types\, concentrating on those which survive today. \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. \nProfessor Charles Sowerwine who is also on the Portable Buildings World Heritage Nomination Task Force and chairs the RHSV Heritage Committee will chair the evening.

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.

SUMMARY:Paving Our Ways: A History of the World’s Roads and Pavements
DESCRIPTION:Paving Our Ways: A History of the World’s Roads and Pavements\nIn partnership with Engineering Heritage Victoria\, the RHSV is excited to present this talk by Maxwell Lay\, co-author of the comprehensive history of world roads\, Paving our Ways. \nPaving our Ways provides a comprehensive international history of the world’s roads\, running from the earliest human settlements to the present day. \nIt examines the earliest roads in Egypt and Mesopotamia and then moves to North Africa\, Crete\, Greece and Italy\, before a review of pavements used by the Romans in their magnificent road system. After its empire collapsed\, Roman pavements fell into ruin. The slow recovery of pavements in Europe began in France and then in England. \nAsphalt and concrete slowly improved as paving materials in the second part of the 19th century. Major advances occurred in the 20th century with the availability of powerful machinery\, pneumatic tyres and bitumen. The advances needed to bring pavements to their current development are explored\, as are the tools for financing\, constructing\, managing and maintaining pavements. This talk will trace the human and social aspects of pavement development and use. It will outline the heritage perspective in the changing technology across the world from China and Mesopotamia\, Europe\, Britain\, Australia and North America\, stretching from biblical times to the present day. \nThis talk should appeal to those interested in the history of engineering and transport and the sociology of engineering. \nDr Maxwell Lay is an engineering consultant known for his international contributions to road engineering and his acclaimed international road histories. He is a member of the Order of Australia\, former Executive Director of the Australian Road Research Board\, and past President of the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria and the Australian Automobile Association and former director of ConnectEast. He has been awarded the Moisseif Medal of the American Society of Civil Engineers\, the Peter Nicol Russell\, Warren and Transport Medals of the Institution of Engineers Australia\, and the Gold Medal of Roads Australia. He is the author of Handbook of Road Technology \nThis event will be delivered by Zoom and Zoom details will be sent to participants 24 hours prior to the event. \n  \n  \nA HISTORY MONTH 2021 EVENT.
