SUMMARY:The role of the surveyors in the establishment of Melbourne and Victoria
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Mr Craig L. Sandy\, Surveyor-General of Victoria\, will be talking to RHSV members about the role of the surveyors in the establishment of Melbourne and Victoria. This event is presented in partnership with the Genealogical Society of Victoria.  \nAccording to the Encyclopaedia of Melbourne\, “In late 1836 Governor Bourke sent three surveyors\, Robert Russell\, Frederick D’Arcy and William Darke\, together with 36 convicts\, to the Port Phillip District with instructions to chart the shore of Port Phillip Bay and plot the course of the Yarra River. Russell\, who was in charge of the party\, chose\, however\, to prepare a topographical map of the area adjacent to the Yarra River to the west and east of Batmans Hill\, on which he plotted the locations of the existing squatters’ dwellings. Although Russell claimed that the horses would require conditioning before they would be fit for the larger survey\, Bourke was not impressed\, and when he visited the settlement in February 1837 he arranged for his companion\, Robert Hoddle\, to take charge of the survey party. Hoddle lost no time in completing the required tasks and on 24 March 1837 forwarded to Bourke a proposed layout of the future Town of Melbourne\, plotted onto Russell’s plan of the settlement. A grid pattern with the major streets practically parallel to the Yarra River\, Hoddle’s layout conformed in design with the regulations Governor Darling had laid down after an inquiry in 1829.” Thus began Melbourne’s love-affair with our famous grid and the benefits of a well-surveyed town. \nMr Sandy\, a licensed surveyor\, is the Surveyor-General of Victoria\, and Chair of the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria\, as such is the primary government authority on surveying and the cadastre. The Surveyor-General fulfils a range of statutory roles and responsibilities dealing with land and property boundaries. \nMr Sandy is also a member of the following Commissions and Committees in Victoria: \n\nRegistrar of Geographic Names\nVictorian Electoral Boundaries Commission\nFederal Redistribution Committee for Victoria\nIntergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping  – Chair\nCouncil of Reciprocating Surveyors Board of Australia and New Zealand – former Chair\n\nIn 2020\, he was awarded the Asia Pacific Spatial Excellence Award for Spatial Professional of the Year for 2019 for his work in modernisation of the cadastre and in raising awareness for mental health issues in our profession. \nFor the non-surveyors amongst us: “A cadastre or cadaster is a comprehensive recording of the real estate or real property’s metes-and-bounds of a country.Often it is represented graphically in a cadastral map. In most countries\, legal systems have developed around the original administrative systems and use the cadastre to define the dimensions and location of land parcels described in legal documentation. \nCadastral surveys document the boundaries of land ownership\, by the production of documents\, diagrams\, sketches\, plans (plats in the US)\, charts\, and maps. They were originally used to ensure reliable facts for land valuation and taxation. An example from early England is the Domesday Book in 1086. Napoleon established a comprehensive cadastral system for France that is regarded as the forerunner of most modern versions. The cadastre is a fundamental source of data in disputes and lawsuits between landowners. Land registration and cadastre are both types of land recording and complement each other.” (Thank you Wikipedia). \nThis event will be a Zoom event only. On registration\, the system automatically sends you an email confirmation – these emails often end up in Junk Mail inboxes – so please check. 24 hours before the event we will send out Zoom log-in details.

SUMMARY:Heritage Excursion - Along The Maroondah Aqueduct
DESCRIPTION:Eltham District Historical Society is organising a wonderful walk … \nThe Maroondah Aqueduct was once a major link in Melbourne’s water supply system. It was built between 1886 and 1891 to transfer water from the Watts River near Healesville to Preston Reservoir. It was 66 km in length made up of 41 km of open channel\, 10 km of tunnels through hills and 15 km of pipeline across stream valleys known as inverted siphons. The section of the aqueduct through Research and Eltham has been abandoned since the 1980s but the open channel has largely been retained. A recreational path follows the aqueduct reserve. \nThe walk starts where the aqueduct crosses Ingrams Road Research\, near the corner of The Esplanade (Melway ref 12 G12).\nThe intention is to walk along the aqueduct path as far as Parsons Road and return\, a distance of about 4 km. This distance can be shortened on the day depending on the weather. This free walk is open to the public as well as Society members. Dogs are not permitted on Society excursions. \nFor more information: edhsoffice@gmail.com \nThe phone number for contact on the day is 0409 021 063.

SUMMARY:Ghost signs and the Melbourne Circle
DESCRIPTION:With intensive development of urban sites\, ghost signs suddenly appear when previous development\, which had blocked the view of the signs\, is demolished. \nNick Gadd has captured many of these nostalgic and historic signs on his website. Almost like the signs and symbols of the past\, Nick captures and brings these signs to life. Many have since disappeared again behind new constructions\, perhaps waiting for another century to pass until they too appear again. \nNick Gadd is the author of:\nMelbourne Circle: Walking\, Memory and Loss (December 2020)\nDeath of a Typographer\nGhostlines

SUMMARY:Weston Bate Oration & RHSV AGM
DESCRIPTION:Our AGM will run from 5pm to 6pm. At the AGM we present the RHSV financial reports for 2021 to our members\, elect new Councillors and welcome our new RHSV Fellows and present the Awards of Merit\, Barbara Nixon Awards and Distinguished Service Awards. We then have a short break for recharging our glasses. \nThe agenda and necessary paperwork for the AGM will be emailed or posted to members 14 days prior to the AGM. \nThe AGM is followed by the Weston Bate Oration 6:15pm -7:15pm.  Following Weston’s death in late 2017\, his family asked that\, in lieu of flowers\, donations should be made to the RHSV and it is with these donations and the family’s agreement that we established the annual Weston Bate Oration\, one of our Distinguished Lecturer Series. \nWe are delighted that Dr Andrew Lemon will present this year’s oration: \nAUSTRALIAN HISTORY AS LITERATURE: AUSTRALIAN LITERATURE AS HISTORY\nAfter having just published his first historical novel after four decades as a professional historian\, Andrew Lemon contemplates the nature of the divide between the writing of history and the writing of fiction. Our best historians—including the late Weston Bate—are invariably outstanding writers\, but why is it that historians are so rarely included when the literary world acclaims the best Australian writers? This lecture looks at the writing of Australian history as literature\, and considers why journalists and storytellers customarily outsell academic historians when writing on historical subjects. Does this matter? Should aspiring historians be taught about good writing and literary technique? Has jargon and cliché prevailed in the academic teaching and writing of history? \nThe lecture also considers the impact of Australian novels\, plays and poetry on Australians’ understanding of their history\, for better and for worse. Myth prevails over accuracy; generalisations swamp truth. Is there a remedy? \nDr Andrew Lemon AM FRHSV was president of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria from 2009 to 2013\, and edited the Victorian Historical Journal throughout the 1990s. He has written innumerable articles and sixteen major books\, winning literary prizes and commendations. His topics range from local history\, schools and education to biography and Australia’s worst shipwreck. His epic three-volume social and political history of Australian thoroughbred racing\, was completed over three decades\, Andrew’s degrees in History and English Literature were augmented by his 2004 Doctorate of Letters from the University of Melbourne recognising the body of his published work. In 2019 Andrew was honoured as a Member of the Order of Australia for services to community history and the racing industry. His latest book\, based on a true story\, is called The Pebbled Beach at Pentecost—a Novel. \nRSVP \nBoth the AGM and the Weston Bate Oration will be hybrid events with the option to join by Zoom. Please indicate when you RSVP whether you’ll be attending in person or via Zoom. Zoom details will be sent to attendees 24 hours prior to the event. When you RSVP below you should automatically get an email confirmation – if you don’t get the email please check your Junk Mail folder as automated emails often end up there! \nYou also have the option of recording your apologies for the AGM below. \n

SUMMARY:Make no mistake - Bridges really matter!
DESCRIPTION:  \nA seminar from the Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network \nBridges should be acknowledged as critical maritime infrastructure – enabling\, connecting or in some cases thwarting! \nHistorically bridges have brought significant economic and social benefit to Melbourne – but not always!  For example\, the poorly conceived yet dominant Bolte Bridge effectively curtailed Melbourne’s maritime engagement for the Antarctic ships. It also limited the access of tall ships to Victoria Harbour. Further\, as port operations expand\, the design inadequacies of the Bolte Bridge continue to challenge access to our waterways. \nMelbourne has a plethora of bridges over the lower reaches of the Yarra. City of Melbourne local history librarian Fiona Campbell will present on one of the most neglected bridges – Spencer Street Bridge. It is a tale of a dependable 1930 structure with a backstory of political infighting\, pioneering technology and the discovery of an obstacle which pre-dates the bridge by several millennia. Fiona Campbell will lead us through a visual journey through the design\, construction and significance of this enduring bridge. \nFrom this seminar\, we can better reflect upon the ‘value’ of more recent bridges and contentious plans for others.\nRSVP:        13 May 2022\, Email  admin@mmhn.org.au \n

SUMMARY:Hotham History Project presents a talk by Professor Miles Lewis on Victorian Paint
DESCRIPTION:Heritage paint colour controls in Victoria\, and to a large extent in Australia\, are based mainly upon a document prepared 45 years ago by Miles Lewis and his then research assistant Alison Blake (now Bishop Alison Taylor). Today those controls are substantially unchanged\, except for the cumulative inaccuracies which have crept in over time. But much more research has been undertaken by Lewis and others.\nIn this presentation Lewis will discuss both aspects – the fundamental principles underlying the original controls\, and the further information now available\, covering stucco and cement finishes\, unpainted surfaces\, paint types\, natural colours\, ready-mixed paints\, conventions for external colours on buildings\, signwriting\, conservation colour controls\, the paint colours bulletin\, the Munsell colour system\, paint layers and microscope analysis\, sanded finishes and other topics.\nProfessor Miles Lewis\, FAHA\, AM\, is an architectural and building historian known for a range of publications\, such as Architectura\, published internationally in five languages\, and for his work on vernacular architecture. He is an honorary life member of the Comité International d’Architecture Vernaculaire. The building materials which he collected during his academic life at Melbourne University have now been digitised to produce interactive three-dimensional simulacra\, on a web site which will be launched shortly.

SUMMARY:An historical overview of Australian botanic gardens by Richard Aitken
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Australia’s fine network of botanic gardens had its genesis in the late 18 C\, with a government garden on Sydney Cove.\n\n\n\n\nAustralia’s fine network of botanic gardens had its genesis in the late eighteenth century\, with a government garden on Sydney Cove. Since then\, and especially in the mid-nineteenth century\, this modest beginning has dramatically expanded to include sites and institutions across the country. Having widely differing climates and geographical features\, this network is today a thriving cultural and scientific resource. This lecture will touch on diverse aspects of this legacy\, including growing and exporting Australian plants\, acclimatisation of exotic plants\, models and systems of administrative organisation\, links with Kew and other international networks\, ancillary facilities such as herbaria and libraries\, regional botanic gardens\, landscape design influences\, changing political fortunes and circumstances\, and shifting perceptions and foci. \nRichard Aitken is a Melbourne-based writer\, historian\, and curator specialising in the history of gardens and designed landscapes. He has been in private practice since 1978 and has prepared conservation plans for many of Australia’s most significant historic places and has curated exhibitions for many of Australia’s leading cultural institutions including state libraries\, botanic gardens\, and the National Trust. He was a founding member of the Australian Garden History Society and for many years co-edited the Society’s journal. Richard’s work is recognised nationally and internationally and his books have become essential reading for anyone with an interest in Australian history and domestic design. These include The Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens (2002)\, Gardenesque (2004)\, Botanical Riches (2006)\, Seeds of Change (2006)\, The Garden of Ideas (2010)\, Cultivating Modernism (2013)\, and Planting Dreams (2016). In recent years his research has focused on Portuguese garden history and its international contexts. \n\nTo book for this online event click here: \nAn historical overview of Australian botanic gardens by Richard Aitken Tickets\, Wed 25 May 2022 at 11:30 | Eventbrite \n  \n

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        May 26\, 2022 11:00 AM\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:Historians on Australian Politics
DESCRIPTION:‘Colonial and pandemic politics: What light can Australian political history before 1901 shed on our present?’ Many of the dominant patterns of Australian politics were in place before federation of the Australian colonies in 1901 and the creation of a national polity. These include public disdain for political affairs; a utilitarian attitude toward government; an orderly and bureaucratic electoral system; politics as a game of ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ dominated by white men; the emergence of political parties as central to their competition; and the marginalisation of Indigenous government. What I want to suggest here is that the experience of the pandemic in particular invites us to rethink the influence of these kinds of long-standing patterns as constitutive of what we call ‘Australian politics’. But above all\, we need to reimagine the idea of a national politics. The pandemic has disclosed some of the limitations of that perspective. A new political history of Australia has the potential to reveal many more. \nFrank Bongiorno is Professor of History at the Australian National University and was Head of the School of History 2018–21. He has recently completed a political history of Australia from earliest time to the present due for release late in 2022. \n‘From Robert Menzies Forgotten People to Morrison’s Quiet Australians’ On election night in 2019 Scott Morrison attributed his victory to the Quiet Australians. I will compare this with Robert Menzies’ Forgotten People and John Howard’s Battlers as ways of identifying Liberal Party supporters\, and reflect on its fate in the light of the 2022 election result. \nEmeritus Professor Judy Brett is a political historian of Australia. She taught politics and political history at La Trobe until her retirement in 2012. She has written extensively on the history of the Liberal Party\, including an award-winning biography of Alfred Deakin. Her most recent book is Doing Politics: Writing on Public Life (Text\, 2021) and she is currently working on a biography of the feminist activist Beatrice Faust. \n‘Teal T-shirts and hi-vis vests: Gender in the 2022 election’ The last few decades have seen a realignment of support for the major parties along gender lines: the gender differences in voter bases have become particularly stark in the Morrison era. In 2019\, Morrison successfully recruited blue-collar men; in 2022\, the mostly female teal independents in previously safe Liberal seats may yet emerge as a new political force. This paper will analyse the gendered political messaging of the 2022 campaign in historical context. \nMichelle Arrow (photo on left) is Professor of Modern History at Macquarie University and the author of The Seventies: The Personal\, The Political and the Making of Modern Australia (2019). \nProfessor Al Thomson of Monash University will host the evening and HCV Executive Officer Alicia Cerreto will facilitate the Q&A. \nThe seminar is part of an ongoing series\, Making Public Histories\, that is offered jointly by the Monash University History Program\, the History Council of Victoria and the Old Treasury Building. Each seminar aims to explore issues and approaches in making public histories. The seminars are open\, free of charge\, to anyone interested in the creation and impact of history in contemporary society. \nWe thank the series sponsors\, Monash University Publishing\, the Monash University History Program and the Old Treasury Building.

SUMMARY:Inaugural Miles Lewis Oration delivered by Professor Alex Bremner
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Centre of Architectural History\, Urban and Cultural Heritage is pleased to announce the inaugural Miles Lewis Oration \, online and in the Japanese Room at the Melbourne School of Design. \nThe 2022 fellow is Professor Alex Bremner of the University of Edinburgh. Bremner will be giving a talk titled “Back to the Future: Architecture and the Geopolitics of Communications Technology in the Edwardian Era”\, more information of which can be found in the Eventbrite registration link here. \n\nThe world is currently experiencing a telecommunications race the political implications of which are perilous. Extending far beyond corporate interests\, concern rests with who creates\, owns\, and ultimately controls such technology\, including the intervening power of the state. Such technology has in recent years become a proxy for international power politics as its potential uses raise alarm. The development and installation of 5G mobile phone infrastructure is perhaps the most widely publicised example of this concern. \nThis dilemma was rehearsed during the first telecommunications revolution in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Then\, as now\, the geopolitical stakes were high\, as the world’s great powers jostled for advantage. To control information was to control society and the economy\, not just at ‘home’ but abroad. The ability to communicate over vast distances via the telegraph enabled European imperial powers\, and Britain in particular\, to govern their global empires in direct and newly systematic ways. These technologies required an infrastructural basis that necessarily took spatial form. Submarine cabling\, as well as telegraph stations and offices\, became ubiquitous features of this brave new world\, as did the techno-utopian politics that accompanied them. \nThis lecture considers the architectural manifestations of this ‘first’ telecommunications age. It will highlight how the coalescence of these concerns in the context of global communications and conflict encouraged ideas of closer union between Britain and its colonial empire. Particular attention will be paid to how\, in this context\, the Edwardian Baroque movement in British architecture sought to present ‘Greater Britain’ as a strong and coherent cultural and political unit. Buildings associated with communications technology\, such as post offices and telegraph companies\, were one form that embodied this idea. The rhetorical dimensions of this architecture in relation to the projection of imperial power across the British world will form the lecture’s focus. \nAlex Bremner is Professor of Architectural History at the University of Edinburgh. He specialises in the history and theory of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British architecture\, including British imperial/colonial architecture\, architecture and energy in the context of climate change\, and the spatial networks of commodity exchange in the Asia-Pacific region. His books include Imperial Gothic: Religious Architecture and High Anglican Culture in the British Empire\, c.1840-1870 (2013) and (ed.) Architecture and Urbanism in the British Empire (2016). He is currently completing a new study entitled Building Greater Britain: Architecture\, Imperialism\, and the Edwardian Baroque Revival\, c.1885-1920\, to be published by the Paul Mellon Centre and Yale University Press in Autumn 2022. \nPlease ensure you register \nThe link is here : https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/acahuch-inaugural-miles-lewis-oration-prof-alex-bremner-uedinburgh-tickets-334404451717 \nZoom link will be made available after registration. \nThe event will be recorded and a link will be posted to the ACAHUCH website and the Melbourne School of Design Youtube under the ACAHUCH playlist in the weeks after the event. \nProfessor Bremner is joining ACAHUCH for April of 2022\, supported by the Miles Lewis Fellowship at the Faculty of Architecure\, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne.

SUMMARY:The Story of a House: The Mary Kehoe Centre
DESCRIPTION:This ZOOM talk on the Danks St home (Port Melbourne) of U3A\, is offered as part of U3A’s highly regarded Saturday Seminar series. \nThe illustrated talk by Max Nankervis\, town planner and historian\, will tell the eventful story of the house and its personalities which spans almost two centuries and three countries. \nThe Mary Kehoe Centre at 224 Danks Street\, Albert Park – now the Headquarters of U3APP – has\, like many of the members of U3APP\, quite a history and quite a few stories to tell. \nIt started life around 1902\, originally known as Somerset\, so at 120 years it has had a bit more experience of life than all of the current U3APP members. \nJohn Shaw and his wife\, Julia Osborn Payne\, along with other family members were the original owners and occupants. The Shaw family migrated to Melbourne in the 1850s and they had a varied business life in Emerald Hill\, including the real estate firm of L.W. Shaw. \nBut\, over the years\, the house had many lives before becoming The Mary Kehoe Centre. \nThe seminar will be facilitated by former City of Port Phillip Councillor\, Judith Klepner\, strong supporter and advocate for the Mary Kehoe Centre. \nClick here to register and visit the event page at U3A.
