SUMMARY:GARAGE GIRLS @ LAMAMA COURTHOUSE THEATRE
DESCRIPTION:JOIN THE RHSV ON FRIDAY 21 JULY @ 7:30pm\nWe are hosting a group booking for members and their friends.\n  \nImagine…1920s Melbourne-the advent of the motorcar! Society reels from the aftermath of war and a second wave of Spanish flu wreaks havoc on the streets. Theatres buzz with vaudeville hacks and men with an eye for enterprise seize every opportunity to weasel wealth. Meanwhile\, one small woman defies convention and makes her mark… \nPart history\, part farce\, part who-done-it\, Garage Girls shines a light on one remarkable young woman’s short but eventful life. Who was Alice Anderson? Why did she drive her baby Austin all the way to Alice Springs? Who were all those women\, dressed in greasy dungarees… and don’t they look a little bit like men? Sparked by actual events and a healthy dose of magic realism\, breathtaking sound design and many colourful characters\, played by five actors-Garage Girls is a rip-roaring ride celebrating a Victorian icon.\nWelcome to Miss Anderson’s All Girl Garage! \n“Sharp as a razor\, very witty\, very funny and beautifully directed with much visual humour.” – Stage Whispers \n“Superb performances\, an outstanding ensemble…This is first class storytelling..” – Theatrepeople \nInspired by “A Spanner in the Works: The extraordinary story of Alice Anderson and Australia’s first all-girl garage” by Loretta Smith 2019. \nContent Warnings: Adult themes and loud noises \nProducers: Three Birds Theatre and The Shift Theatre \nWriters: Candace Miles\, Madelaine Nunn and Anna Rodway (Three Birds Theatre) in collaboration with Carolyn Bock and Helen Hopkins (The Shift Theatre) \nDirected by: Janice Muller \nPerformed by: Carolyn Bock\, Helen Hopkins\, Candace Miles\, Madelaine Nunn and Anna Rodway \n  \nTHE VENUE \nThe La Mama Courthouse is located at 349 Drummond Street\, Carlton\, behind Lygon Court and the Nova Cinemas\, and close to Elgin Street. \nFinding parking near La Mama can be very difficult\, especially on Friday and Saturday nights\, so if you need to drive\, make sure you allow plenty of time to find a park. \nCONTENT WARNING \nNote that most productions at La Mama are new works\, usually being seen for the first time on opening night.

SUMMARY:Rare books from the RHSV collection
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled that Rare Book Week and its fair are back after a three-year COVID hiatus! \nThe Royal Historical Society of Victoria has had a very active collecting policy both in Australia and back ‘home’ in the UK since its creation in 1909. In the 1920s\, when the Victorian Branch of the Royal Geographical Society closed\, their archive and library were absorbed by the RHSV. Whereas our collection is concentrated on the history of Victoria\, the RGS collection is much broader\, covering exploration across Australia and the Pacific and\, because of this ‘misfit’\, the RGS collection was not catalogued until very recently. \nJillian Hiscock\, our Collections Manager\, will speak about three items from the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia: two first-edition explorers’ journals and the Moll Atlas published in 1719: A new and complete map of the whole world shewing the situation of its principal parts. Viz the seas\, kingdoms\, rivers\, capes\, ports\, mountains\, woods\, trade-winds\, monsoons\, variation of the compass climats [sic] &c. \nThis event will follow\, in the same venue\, a Rare Book Week event at 11am from the Ephemera Society of Australia. Morning tea is available before\, between and during both events. For more information about the Ephemera Society event click here. Edwin Jewell will be speaking about material from Australian internment camps. \n\nHerman Moll (c. 1654-1732) was one of the most important London mapmakers in the first half of the eighteenth century.  Moll was probably born in Bremen\, Germany\, around 1654. He moved to London to escape the Scanian Wars. His earliest work was as an engraver for Moses Pitt on the production of the English Atlas\, a failed work which landed Pitt in debtor’s prison. Moll also engraved for Sir Jonas Moore\, Grenville Collins\, John Adair\, and the Seller & Price firm. He published his first original maps in the early 1680s and had set up his own shop by the 1690s. \nMoll’s work quickly helped him become a member of a group which congregated at Jonathan’s Coffee House at Number 20 Exchange Alley\, Cornhill\, where speculators met to trade stock. Moll’s circle included the scientist Robert Hooke\, the archaeologist William Stuckley\, the authors Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe\, and the intellectually-gifted pirates William Dampier\, Woodes Rogers and William Hacke. From these contacts\, Moll gained a great deal of privileged information that was included in his maps. \nOver the course of his career\, he published dozens of geographies\, atlases\, and histories\, not to mention numerous sheet maps. His most famous works are Atlas Geographus\, a monthly magazine that ran from 1708 to 1717\, and The World Described (1715-54). He also frequently made maps for books\, including those of Dampier’s publications and Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. Moll died in 1732. It is likely that his plates passed to another contemporary\, Thomas Bowles\, after this death. \n\nFOR THE FULL RARE BOOK WEEK PROGRAM CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:TOUR: ISLAMIC MUSEUM OF AUSTRALIA
DESCRIPTION:Join the RHSV for a curator’s tour of the Islamic Museum of Australia\, one of Melbourne newest museums. The tour will have special emphasis on the artistic and cultural heritage of Muslims in Australia. \nThe arrival of Muslim Macassan fisherman from Southern Sulawesi\, Indonesia on the Northern Australia coast in the early 1700s marked the beginning of a long-lasting trade relationship between the Macassans and First Nations people. Over time\, these communities developed a mutual respect for one another\, and shared cultural and religious traditions. Another section of the exhibition pays homage to the Afghan cameleers\, highlighting their important contributions to our country’s infrastructure and economy. \nThere is a delightful coffee shop in the museum if you wish to stay for lunch or coffee.

SUMMARY:George Arden\, gentleman drunkard
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that author and historian\, Susan Priestley FRHSV\, will be delivering this lecture which explores the background and career of editor and author George Arden\, whose life compiled by the late P.L. Brown\, Geelong and Western District historian\, was an entry in the first volume of the Australian Dictionary of Biography (1966). Arden together with his two brothers provide variant exemplars of the lifestyle and widely variant fortunes encountered when gentlemanly emigrants\, along with the multitude of others\, took the colonial plunge into Britain’s nineteenth century world\, thereby illuminating the idiosyncrasies of multi-coloured humanity. \n  \n\n\n\n\nSusan Priestley\, Master of Arts (University of Melbourne)\, has been an independent historian since 1962. Susan’s eleven commissioned histories embrace aspects of places\, people and institutions in Victoria.
