SUMMARY:Lighter Than Air - book launch with Helene Rogers
DESCRIPTION:The Richmond & Burnley Historical Society is launching Helene Rogers’ book\, Lighter Than Air. \nFledgling balloonists in nineteenth century Australia realised that their aerial endeavours added little to their pockets\, or to science. Re-inventing themselves as showmen and women\, they performed daring acrobatics from trapezes and parachutes\, touring towns and cities all over the country. George Coppin introduced the earliest balloon flight in Richmond’s Cremorne Gardens. \nA magnificent book that captures the amazing history of early flight in Australia.  \nBookings essential 9427 1800 or email richmondhs@optusnet.com.au

SUMMARY:A World of Architectural History 
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will discuss the preparations and outcomes of the 21st Edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis lecture will discuss the preparations and outcomes of the 21st Edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture\, in what are two entirely re-written volumes\, also available online. It constitutes the most ambitious attempt to provide an overall account of architectural history in all parts of the world across the past 5\,500 years. Three scholars from the University of Melbourne (Dr Amanda Achmadi\, Prof Philip Goad\, Prof Paul Walker) wrote chapters on Australian/Southeast Asian architectural history\, and hence in part this public lecture will also be a celebration of their roles within the task. \nMurray Fraser is joining ACAHUCH for April of 2022\, supported by the Macgeorge Bequest at the University of Melbourne. \nMurray Fraser is Professor of Architecture and Global Culture at UCL’s Bartlett School of Architecture\, and Chair of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain. In 2008 his book Architecture and the ‘Special Relationship’ won the RIBA Research Award and CICA Bruno Zevi Book Prize. He is General Editor for the 21st Edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture (2020)\, awarded the SAHGB’s Colvin Prize. He received the 2018 RIBA Annie Spink Award for Excellence in Education. \nHosted by Australian Centre of Architectural History\, Urban and Cultural Heritage\, University of Melbourne \n\nBOOK HERE.

SUMMARY:The Life and Art of Penleigh Boyd by Colin Smith
DESCRIPTION:Colin Smith will be the guest speaker at the Brighton Cemetorian’s 2022 AGM. He will speak on The Life and Art of Penleigh Boyd   \nTheodore Penleigh Boyd (15 August 1890 – 27 November 1923) was a British born Australian artist. \nPenleigh Boyd was a member of the Boyd artistic dynasty: his parents Arthur Merric Boyd (1862–1940) and Emma Minnie Boyd (née à Beckett) were well-known artists of the day\, and his brothers included the ceramicist Merric Boyd (1888–1959) and the novelist Martin Boyd (1893–1972). His son Robin Boyd (1919–1971) became a famous and influential architect\, educator and social commentator\, and his nephews Arthur Boyd\, Guy Boyd and David Boyd became prominent artists. \nPenleigh Boyd is best known as a landscapist with an accomplished handling of evanescent effects of light. A notable influence was artist E. Phillips Fox\, who introduced him to plein air techniques when they were neighbours in Paris in 1912–3. At his death his obituarists compared him to Arthur Streeton and rated him as one of the most promising painters of his generation. \nEvent to be held at the Camden Hotel in the Upstairs Function Room  – 414 Hawthorn Rd\, Caulfield South at 1pm. Refreshments will be served – please advise if any dietary requirements. \nRing 9558 4248 [Bookings essential]

SUMMARY:Prisoners of the Japanese: Personal stories from WW2 service records
DESCRIPTION:Anzac Day 1942: As Australia stopped to remember the sacrifices of war\, over 22\,000 Australian service personnel were prisoners of the Japanese\, having been recently captured in Malaya\, Singapore\, Timor and New Guinea. Their families back home waited anxiously for news\, which often never came. In this webinar\, Patrick Ferry from the National Archives of Australia draws on original defence service records and treasured family archives to tell the personal stories of several POWs from one small rural Victorian community. \nTo honour Anzac Day the National Archives of Australia will present this fascinating seminar in partnership with the RHSV and the Genealogical Society of Victoria. \nImage caption: Extract from original Japanese list of Australian POWs and Internees who perished when the Montevideo Maru was sunk in 1942.

SUMMARY:LGBTIQ+ Inclusion in the history of the Australian Defence Force
DESCRIPTION:Australian Defence Force policies banned lesbian\, gay and bisexual people from serving until November 1992 and transgender people until September 2010. Yet\, there is a long history of their service\, as the Australian military evolved from an institution that actively persecuted LGBTIQ+ members to one that actively welcomes and values their contributions. \nJoin historian Noah Riseman – co-author of Pride in Defence (2020) and Serving in Silence? (2018) – as he provides an overview of Australian LGBTIQ+ military service\, past and present.

SUMMARY:Public Symposium: Australasia & the Global Turn in Architectural History Symposium
DESCRIPTION:A symposium exploring the expansion of the new edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture that encompass Australasia \nConvened by Macarena de la Vega de León and Paul Walker\, this event will be held in person at the Melbourne School of Design\, and on Zoom. Note\, not all panellists will be in person at the Symposium \nLink will be made available after registration. \nThe writing of architectural history shifted with the turn of the twenty-first century. Theoretical and methodological reassessments\, as well as the study of postcolonial theories in architecture\, challenged the previously accepted disciplinary canon and made the development of a global history of architecture urgent. More than twenty years later\, there has been resulting literature\, disciplinary reassessments\, and continuous debate around the meaning of global in the history of architecture. One of the latest additions to the field\, the new edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s rebranded as Global History of Architecture (2019)\, is proof of the continuous scholarly interest in reframing the global. \nAlthough historians of architecture in the region have contributed their expertise in the Global South to some of the resulting publications\, there is still a limited presence of an Australasian perspective. In general\, the field continues to present challenges in combining these geographies and cultures\, in defining the notion of region\, in the periodization of narratives and in capturing transnational connections. The aim of this event is twofold: on the one hand\, to celebrate the publication of Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture highlighting the Australasian contributions to the volume; on the other\, to open a wider discussion on the global issues of gender\, race and migration in architecture that continue to have a limited presence in global narratives. To critically review the most recent literature on the global is necessary to inform next steps. \n  \nSession 1_ Wednesday 27 April\, 9am-10.45am \nMurray Fraser\, “A Provisional\, Collectivised Global History.”\nVimalin Rujivacharakul\, “Buildings of the Oceans: Ephemerality and Monumentality in Architectural History.”\nDeidre Brown\, “Decolonising and Indigenising Architectural History.”\nAmanda Achmadi and Paul Walker\, “Writing architecture across colonial borders: ‘Southeast Asia\, Australia and the Pacific\, 1780-1914.’”\nPhilip Goad\, “Time for Global Reassessment: Architectural Histories of Southeast Asia\, Australasia and Oceania.” \nSession 2_ Wednesday 27 April\, 11am.-12.30pm \nMark Jarzombek\, “Beyond History?”\nVikram Prakash\, “Eventualities: The Agency of Architectural Historiography in Decolonization.”\nJoanna Merwood-Salisbury\, “Race and the Historiography of American Architecture.”\nMirjana Lozanovska\, “Theory + History = Historiography.”\nKaren Burns and Lori Brown\, “Women\, Global History\, and the Nation State.” \nBOOK HERE \n  \nMurray Fraser (pictured) is Professor of Architecture and Global Culture at UCL’s Bartlett School of Architecture\, and Chair of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain. In 2008 his book Architecture and the ‘Special Relationship’ won the RIBA Research Award and CICA Bruno Zevi Book Prize.

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        Apr 28\, 2022 11:00 AM  (the topic in April will be dealing with newspapers plus cheap and cheerful hacks for conservation and storage of collections)\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:Launch of "Across Bass Strait"
DESCRIPTION:Anchor Books Australia is delighted to invite RHSV members and friends\nto the launch of Dr Jane Lennon’s book\, Across Bass Strait\nTo be launched by the Hon Dr Barry Jones AC\n  \nAcross Bass Strait is a history of the connection which commenced in the 1840s between squatters\, merchants and mariners to develop the livestock trade from the mainland to Van Diemen’s Land. The trade established nineteenth-century Gippsland as a prime beef producer exporting through Port Albert\, a now-forgotten port\, and this account is based on merchants’ records and letters from two families who were major players in this trade. \nThis long distant connection is reflected in the transformation of the landscape\, both on land and sea. The stories\, underwritten by the need to provide meat\, link distant shores which until now have been barely acknowledged in the national narrative\, yet from the edges of the two coast lines\, illustrate the layered environmental history of our continent. \nThis little-known story deals with food miles to supply the fresh meat\, wind power\, seasonal conditions\, competition and determined people\, all themes still relevant today. \nDr Jane Lennon AM grew up in rural Victoria and has an affinity for the stormy southern shores. She has spent her working life delving into the history and conservation of heritage places and is the author of numerous books and articles on pastoral history\, cultural landscapes and heritage. In December 2020\, Jane was made an Honorary member of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) for her distinguished service to conservation in Australia and internationally. \nThe Master of Ceremonies for this event will be Dr Andrew Lemon AM \nPlease RSVP below if you’d like to attend this event. If you’d like to record your apologies you can also do that below. This event will not be offered via Zoom. \n

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.

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.

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
