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.

SUMMARY:WORKING OUT THE (HI)STORY OF SITES AND LANDSCAPES: Indigenous knowledge\, archaeology\, geomorphology & 3D modelling working together
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Bruno David & GunaiKurnai Elder Russell Mullett \nRock Art Australia\, in partnership with Monash University\, invite you to join us for a public lecture presented by Prof. Bruno David & Elder Russell Mullett about community-driven research combining science with Aboriginal knowledge. \nBruno is renowned internationally for his trans-disciplinary research that combines archaeology\, geomorphology and other sources of information to reveal the (hi)story of sites and landscapes going deeply back in time. In this lecture\, he will show how archaeology and geomorphology have been combined with 3D modelling to reveal rock art sites as shaped architectural monuments both in Australia and overseas. \nTogether\, Bruno and GunaiKurnai Elder Russell Mullett will reveal details of two special caves in East Gippsland\, Victoria. Without the local GunaiKurnai knowledge\, the special meanings of those caves remain unknown. Combining the archaeology\, geomorphology and 3D modelling with the Aboriginal knowledge not only brings to light more profound details of the sites’ (hi)story than would otherwise be available\, but also brings to light exciting new\, community-driven research possibilities for the future. \nRefreshments will be served after the lecture courtesy of Monash University\n\nREGISTRATIONS CLOSE TUESDAY 24 MAY 2022\nThis is a free event however registrations are essential: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=901185& \nBruno David is professor in archaeology at the Monash Indigenous Studies Centre and a Chief Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage. He is a member of Rock Art Australia’s Science Advisory Council and has been working on RAA-funded research in the Kimberley.  Bruno works closely in partnership with Aboriginal communities who request research that is of interest to the Traditional Owners. His specialties are rock art\, landscape archaeology and trans-disciplinary research\, working together in teams across traditional disciplinary boundaries. He has published 17 books including Cave Art (2017\, Thames & Hudson)\, The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology and Anthropology of Rock Art (2018)\, and The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Indigenous Australia and New Guinea (2022). \nGunaiKurnai Elder Russell Mullett (Registered Aboriginal Party Manager\, GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation\, Gippsland\, Victoria) has worked and researched in cultural heritage for over 30 years.

SUMMARY:Exodus from Vienna
DESCRIPTION:Following the 1938 annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany\, many members of Vienna’s vibrant Jewish community sought safe havens overseas to escape growing persecution. Amongst them were Michael and Regine Weiss and their family. Their story\, as told through records held by the National Archives of Australia and other information provided by their descendants\, reveals much about Australia’s attitudes towards Jewish refugees during these dark days. Presented by Patrick Ferry (National Archives of Australia) and Angus Davison (Monash University History student) in conjunction with the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation. \nThis will be a hybrid event. The real-space event will be held at the Victorian Archives Centre\, 99 Shiel Street\, North Melbourne. Those who attend in person can also tour the NAA’s exhibition\, Out of this world: Australia in the space age \nIt will also be available as a Zoom presentation. Once you book a place in this free Zoom event you will be sent an automatic email confirmation. If you don’t receive this confirmation\, please check your Junk Mail or Spam folder as automatic emails often go astray. Then\, 24 hours before the event\, we will send you the necessary Zoom log-in details. \n  \nImage captions: \nThese three images are from the National Archives of Australia’s collection.  \n\nVisa stamps from Michael’s passport\, showing stamps signifying where they were headed (Australia)\, what they were fleeing (Nazi occupied Vienna) and how they got there (via Shanghai). \nMichael and Regine Weiss’ passport photographs

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        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:The Rise and Fall of the Iron Bridge
DESCRIPTION:In June we are thrilled that Miles Lewis will be returning to the RHSV\, in partnership with Engineering Heritage Victoria to talk about Iron Bridges. \nThe earliest cast iron bridges imitated those in timber or stone\, because there was no established idea of what an iron bridge should be like\, and most of them were simple arches. But over the next century wrought iron\, and then steel\, became important bridge-building materials.  The arch bridge was joined by the suspension bridge\, the box girder\, the parallel-chorded girder\, and even more elaborate forms.  And bridges fabricated in Europe were sent across the world to places like Latin America\, Japan\, and India.  Exported bridges faced special problems – the cost and difficulty of transporting the components\, the lack of skilled labour at the site\, and unexpected foundation problems and hydrological conditions. These prefabricated bridges will be the main focus of the presentation. \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.

SUMMARY:The Edwardian Garden - golden and delicious: Special online lecture by Caroline Holmes.
DESCRIPTION:The Edwardian Garden – golden and delicious:  Special online lecture by renowned UK Garden Historian\, Caroline Holmes. \nGardens of a golden afternoon are glimpsed in black and white photographs and nostalgic cottage paintings. The Mediterranean inspired the architecture of Harold Peto’s designs and the colours in Gertrude Jekyll’s early paintings and later plantings. Peto’s richest client was Daisy\, Countess of Warwick\, for whom he designed in the grand Italianate manner at Warwick House. Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens collaborated in 70 projects creating the Surrey Style as showcased in the architecture and gardens of her former home\, Munstead Wood. Not just Surrey\, their influences inspired the country house and garden style across the world whilst echoing the need to understand local practicalities. The kitchen garden inspired visual and edible feasts in the ground and on the plates of contemporary gardening books. Jekyll wrote many gardening books which were published across the world in English speaking countries\, her attention to drifting colours in flower borders came to represent the quintessential ‘Edwardian’ garden. Her travels in North Africa inspired her designs for rock gardens as can be glimpsed in photographs of Frederick McCubbin’s Fontainebleau garden on Mount Macedon. We will also look at paintings by Rupert Bunny\, E. Phillips Fox and John Peter Russell that evoke the colour and sensation of their pre-World War One world. \nDATE:              Thursday 30 June 2022 \nTIME:               6.00 start – log in from 5.45 \nLOCATION      A Zoom link will be provided with reminder email before each session. \nCOST:              $12 members\, $15 non-members \nBOOKINGS:     https://www.trybooking.com/BZGVX \nENQUIRIES:     WENDY DWYER Mobile: 0408 340 967 \nCaroline Holmes is a highly respected Garden Historian\, author of 12 books including ‘Water Lilies and Bory Latour-Marliac\, the genius behind Monet’s water lilies’ launched in Giverny in 2016. 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.
