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: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:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:June’s cataloguing topic will be dealing with donations to a collection – donation forms\, the process\, what to do\, what not to do etc \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\nJun 24\, 2021 11AM\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:Ern Latchford: his WWI adventures in western Europe\, Persia and Russia.
DESCRIPTION:Ern Latchford: his WWI adventures in western Europe\, Persia and Russia.\nThis event will now be delivered by Zoom. The invitation details are below. \nIn late 1918\, thousands of Australian soldiers\, exhausted and scarred by war in Europe\, began to head home. However\, one ANZAC headed the wrong way\, toward more conflict and risk in vast and frozen Siberia\, thousands of miles from his fiancée waiting on the family farm in Western Victoria. This is the story of Ernest Latchford MBE MC\, told through his articulate\, observant letters home from three very distinct theatres of war. \nErn Latchford was one of the early recruits to newly federated Australia’s embryonic militia and when war did break out in 1914\, he was reluctantly held back to train the battalions that were soon to land in Gallipoli. He finally reached the Western Front in 1916\, and served with distinction through the bloody battles of Messines and then Passchendaele\, where he earned a Military Cross. In early 1918\, he (among a handful of other Australians) was personally selected by General Sir John Monash to serve in the ‘hush-hush’ Dunsterville campaign in Persia (Dunsterville* led his ‘Dunsterforce’ of elite troops across present-day Iran in an attempt to prevent an invasion of India by a combined Germano-Turkish force). His particular responsibility was to train Armenian refugees against the Ottoman Army (and to protect the oil wealth of the Persian Gulf). At the end of the war\, instead of returning to Australia\, he became the only Australian to be deployed in central Siberia to train White Russian forces against the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War. \nEvery week\, irrespective of location\, intensity of battle or injury he wrote to his fiancée\, Linda Dehnert in Western Victoria. These previously unseen letters\, often many pages in length\, were always passionate and vivid as he describes the politics of the conflicts and the horrors of the battles\, especially the loss of much-loved colleagues. He eloquently described the cities and towns he passed through and the variety of nationalities he came across\, including French farmers and villages; the Arab\, Armenians and Persians of the Middle East and finally the Russians\, caught in the bloody conflict that would have ramifications for decades. In between\, he wrote romantically of his courtship of Linda and the joy of life at home on the farm. \nMark Latchford is a Sydney-based businessman with a passion for history.

SUMMARY:Impressionists in their Gardens – living light and colour
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores gardens through the senses of the Impressionists from three continents – Europe\, North America and Australia – enjoying the essentially similar pleasures of the garden but engaging with the light from their skies in order to create very different sensations. French Impressionists such as Monet\, Renoir\, Berthe Morisot and Caillebotte\, and the Americans who came to Giverny staying at the Hotel Baudy but not invited into Monet’s garden. Australian John Peter Russell who made his home in France. American gardens include those of the poet Celia Thaxter painted by Childe Hassam and John Henry Twachtman as well as Mary Cassatt. In Australia Fred and Annie McCubbin’s welcoming gardens at Fontainebleau take centre place as well as the canvases of Tom Roberts\, Arthur Streeton and Charles Conder. The enclosure of the garden acts like a picture frame showcasing a living canvas that exudes the individuality\, vision and taste of its tenants\, their family\, friends and lifestyles. We will briefly explore their favourite flowers which\, in the simple words of the greatest Impressionist and gardener Monet\, provided motifs to paint. \nWednesday June 9th\nTime: 6pm\nVenue: Online\nPrice: $12 members and Friends RBG\, Non-members $15 \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’.

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:At the 27 May Clinic\, Jillian will revisit the process of book cataloguing\, both published and unpublished material. What is the information that should be captured and what is the nice-to-add extras that can be useful. \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\nMay 27\, 2021 11AM\nJun 24\, 2021 11AM\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:STATUES: PUTTING THEM UP\, AND PULLING 'EM DOWN
DESCRIPTION:STATUES: PUTTING THEM UP\, AND PULLING ‘EM DOWN\n5pm – 6pm  RHSV AGM  (to see the full agenda and financial reports please click here) \n6pm – 6:30pm   REFRESHMENTS \n6:30pm – 7:30pm  2021 WESTON BATE ORATION DELIVERED BY JIM DAVIDSON \nThere may be a lull in the statue wars now\, but that is because the front has broadened – certainly overseas. This oration shows how statues rose with the nineteenth century\, and spread with the growth of empires\, not least to Australia. The nature of traditional Australian statuary is considered\, along with the questions it implicitly raises. (Comparisons are made with America.)  Statues\, it seems\, have become lightning conductors for unresolved tensions\, the public culture which once sustained them being increasingly subject to segmentation and fracture. \nIn our Distinguished Lecturer series\, the 2021 Weston Bate Oration will be delivered by the estimable Jim Davidson\, following our AGM. The AGM will be from 5pm to 6pm at which time we’ll pause for some refreshments followed by Jim’s oration. \nJim Davidson is an historian and biographer\, and a former editor of Meanjin. He is the author of A Three-Cornered Life: The Historian WK Hancock\, the memoir A Führer for a Father: The domestic face of colonialism\, and Lyrebird Rising\, a life of the musical patron Louise Hanson-Dyer. Together they have won half a dozen prizes\, including the Prime Minister’s History Prize\, the Victorian premier’s non-fiction prize\, and The Age Non-fiction Book of the Year (twice). His double biography of Clem Christesen of Meanjin and Stephen Murray-Smith of Overland – Emperors in Lilliput – will appear from Melbourne University Press next year. He is currently working on his next book\, on statues.

SUMMARY:1850s Heritage-listed garden in Thomastown: horticulturalist guided tours
DESCRIPTION:Ziebell’s Farmhouse Museum and Heritage Garden has introduced horticulturalist guided tours of its heritage-listed garden\, which dates from the 1850s. \nThe garden’s professional horticulturalist\, Christine Burke\, has tended Ziebell’s Farmhouse garden for nine years.  From her extensive experience\, she has created a talk and tour about the geology\, plants and the history of this heritage-listed cottage garden.  Christine has also drawn on the knowledge of descendants\, especially Sylvia Schultz\, who tended the garden for over 80 years and with whom Christine worked for several years.  Younger descendants still volunteer to tend the garden and\, in doing so\,  maintain the continuous commitment to the garden by Christian and Sophia Ziebell and their descendants from the 1850s to the present day. \nDescribed as one of the finest small cottage gardens in Melbourne\, it features over 70 roses including one planted in the 1860s. It is tangible evidence of the love of beauty and culture that existed at Westgarthtown\, which is an historic dairy farming settlement established by German and Wendish emigrants.  Ziebell’s Farmhouse is Victoria’s oldest German emigrant building and is now an accredited museum and the cultural interpretive centre for Westgarthtown \nRegarding this new initiative\, Garden Co-ordinator\,  Gillian Borrack commented\, “Our new garden tours are another way we share these historic and beautiful gardens.  Christine’s knowledge\, along with that of the descendants’\, have created insights that few people get to experience.  We hope our heritage garden and tours contribute to the appreciation and significance of heritage gardens.” \nWhat:                   Ziebell’s Farmhouse Museum and Heritage Garden Horticulturalist Tours \nWhen:                 1pm Wednesday  3rd  March\,  then the first Wednesday of each month. \nCost:                      $10 per person with a minimum of 6 required for a tour to proceed. \nBookings:            Essential one week prior to tour date. Bookings at www.westgarthtown.org.au \nWhere:                 Ziebell’s Farmhouse Museum and Heritage Garden\, Cnr Gardenia Road and \nAinwick Crescent\, Thomastown.

SUMMARY:"Never Forget Australia"; Transformation at Villers-Bretonneux - a presentation via zoom by Dr Ross McMullin
DESCRIPTION:“Never Forget Australia”; Transformation at Villers-Bretonneux – a presentation via zoom by Dr Ross McMullin\nThe immense German onslaught in March 1918 caused Britain’s gravest crisis of World War I. Australians\, rushed to the rescue\, influenced the destiny of the world more than in any other year. The culmination of their contribution in the conflict’s climax was the stunning counter-attack at Villers-Bretonneux. It was acclaimed as the war’s most brilliant exploit\, and no-one was more significant than Camberwell’s own Pompey Elliott. \nTo commemorate the anniversary of this celebrated feat\, award-winning historian Ross McMullin will illuminate what occurred. Ross has written two books on Pompey\, and his biography Pompey Elliott won awards for both literature and biography. His multi-biography Farewell\, Dear People: Biographies of Australia’s Lost Generation was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History. His other books include Will Dyson: Australia’s Radical Genius\, which was highly commended by the judges of the National Biography Award. \nhttp://www.rossmcmullin.com.au \nWhen : Tuesday 27 April 2021 6:45 for 7pm \nPlease book – the zoom link will be sent after booking \nTo book please call George Fernando 9885 9927 or email enquiries@chs.org.au

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:Jillian 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 2021 will be held (all via Zoom) on these dates: \n\nFeb 25\, 2021 11AM\nMar 25\, 2021 11AM\nApr 22\, 2021 11AM\nMay 27\, 2021 11AM\nJun 24\, 2021 11AM\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
