SUMMARY:WRITING HISTORY GROUP
DESCRIPTION:Dr Cheryl Griffin leads this group which has been meeting since 2020. \nThis group is for people who are tackling writing a history project or two and want a sounding board / source of information / guidance and HELP! Each month from February to November Cheryl convenes the group via Zoom for 90 minutes and they will attack a particular aspect of writing history and also be a sounding board for members problems / queries. Cheryl also has guest writers drop in to talk about their work and how they’ve dealt with thorny issues. \nThis writing group has a cap on the numbers who can join as we don’t want it to get too unwieldy where questions can’t be answered nor feedback given.

SUMMARY:1000 babies can’t be wrong!
DESCRIPTION:In January 1961\, 50 mothers marched through the Victorian town of Healesville demanding their doctor be reinstated to the local hospital. Their placards declared ‘1000 Babies Can’t Be Wrong’. \nThese mothers were supporting Dr Arthur Deery\, a Hungarian Jewish doctor and a person of interest to Australia’s security services. \nDr Fallon Mody from Melbourne University will present Dr Arthur Deery’s migrant medical life which spanned 40 years. \nFallon’s research highlights how biographical explorations enable more nuanced understandings of being an ‘alien doctor’ in pre and post-war Australia. \nThis event is being held in conjunction with our touring exhibition Spy: espionage in Australia now on at the Victorian Archives Centre in Melbourne until 7 July 2023. \nThe event is a hybrid one – people can either attend in person or join remotely. For those who come in person\, we are offering a tour of the Spy Exhibition too! \nTo book tickets click here: 1000 babies can’t be wrong! | naa.gov.au \nPhoto caption: Dr Arthur Deery and his family\, 1940s.

SUMMARY:Ned Kelly; a new lens
DESCRIPTION:Partway through the Jerilderie Letter\, Ned Kelly accused Senior Constable Anthony Strahan of threatening to shoot him ‘like a dog’. Two days after Anthony reputedly made his threat\, Ned and his gang shot dead three policemen at Stringybark Creek\, believing one of the cops was Anthony.\n\n\n\nLachlan Strahan\, Anthony’s great-great-grandson\, and author of “Justice in Kelly Country” grew up believing Ned Kelly was a heroic outlaw and Anthony the ruthless cop who pursued him. Yet\, as he combed through letters\, police reports\, court transcripts\, newspapers and family histories\, Lachlan pieced together a different story about the life of his ancestor.\n\n\n\nThe event will feature an in-depth discussion between Dr. Andrew Lemon and Lachlan Strahan. During the discussion\, the two experts will explore recent research\, discoveries\, and conclusions about Ned Kelly\, and examine how these findings could change the common narrative about him. Attendees can expect to gain a new perspective on the famous Australian outlaw\, and the discussion will touch on themes such as justice and retribution\, morality and character\, and making a life against the odds in a frontier society.\n\nOur events are fairly relaxed and convivial and we always have refreshments from 5:30pm until 6pm when the event will start. All our events are now hybrid so there will both an audience at the RHSV and on Zoom (from 6pm). The discussion usually takes one hour including audience Q&A\, finishing at 7pm. \nPlease note that this event was originally promoted with Alex McDermott as a speaker. Unfortunately\, due to illness\, Alex has had to pull out so it will now be a ‘deep-dive’ between Lachlan Strahan and Andrew Lemon. \nSpeakers \nDr Lachlan Strahan is a descendant of Senior Constable Anthony Strahan\, accused by Ned Kelly of threatening to shoot him ‘like a dog’.  Lachlan’s book\, published by Monash University Publishing\, is Justice in Kelly Country: The Story of the Cop Who Hunted Australia’s Most Notorious Bushrangers.  \nLachlan joined the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in 1993 as a graduate trainee\, and recently completed a three-month assignment as Australia’s Acting United Nations Ambassador in Geneva\, managing Australia’s first session as a member of the Human Rights Council. Dr Strahan was an Assistant Secretary in the International Division at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet\, 2013-15\, managing relations with the Middle East\, South and Southeast Asia\, the Americas and the Pacific. During his time there\, he played a central role in developing a major counter-terrorism package in the wake of ISIL’s capture of Mosul\, and coordinating the initial stage of the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370\, receiving an excellence in leadership award for the latter. \nHe has published several articles and two books\, “Australia’s China: changing perceptions from the 1930s to the 1990s” and “Day of Reckoning\,” which was shortlisted for the 2006 New South Wales Premier’s Australian History Prize. \nDr Andrew Lemon AM has enjoyed a distinguished career as a professional historian\, specialising in Australian social and cultural history in their British and colonial context. An accessible writer\, he believes that the local and particular illuminate the big questions we ask about ourselves and our society. A recent past president of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria\, Andrew was honoured as a Member of the Order of Australia for services to community history and the racing industry. \n

SUMMARY:Lessons from history: colonial foundations of criminal justice in Victoria
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that The Hon Justice Chris Maxwell AC will deliver the Society’s inaugural Paul Mullaly History and Law Lecture during Law Week 2023. \nThis lecture will explore the value of legal history\, both as a window into social and political history and as an aid to understanding the present state of the law. By way of illustration\, the lecture will highlight key aspects of criminal justice in colonial Victoria – jury trials\, the role of the trial judge\, and early ideas about proof and punishment – drawing on Paul Mullaly’s foundational work ‘Crime in the Port Phillip District 1835-51’. \nThe Royal Historical Society of Victoria was much saddened at the death of long-serving member\, His Honour Paul Mullaly QC\, in 2022 just shy of his 93rd birthday. Paul contributed substantially to the RHSV over many years and in many ways however his greatest contribution has been his transcription and annotation of Judge Willis’ Port Phillip Casebooks\, for which legal scholars will always be in his debt. Paul’s work can be found on a mini-website within the RHSV website here: The Judge Willis Casebooks . To honour Paul’s contribution we have established this biennial lecture on history and law in our Distinguished Lecturer series. \n\nThe Hon Chris Maxwell has been a highly respected Justice especially known for his advocacy for individual rights. Maxwell initially studied at The University of Melbourne then\, after receiving a Rhodes Scholarship\, Maxwell went to the University of Oxford and then graduated in law. He was admitted to the Bar as a member of Lincoln’s Inn in 1978. Maxwell returned to Melbourne the following year and was admitted to the Victorian Bar in 1984. \nIn 1981 he interrupted his legal career to take up an appointment as Principal Private Secretary to Senator Gareth Evans\, then Commonwealth Attorney-General.

SUMMARY:Becoming a Mother: An Australian History
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the release of a powerful new history of Australian motherhood this Mother’s Day weekend! \nWhen she first become a mother in 2013\, historian Dr Carla Pascoe Leahy looked around her for stories of how mothering had changed over time. She was shocked to find that no one had written a history of Australian motherhood.  \nThis ambitious and compelling book remedies this glaring omission in our understanding of motherhood in the past. Through more than 60 interviews with a diverse group of Australian women\, Carla has charted the ways in which mothering has shifted along with wider Australian society – and the ways it has stayed the same. \nJoin us for the launch of Becoming a Mother: an Australian History with oral historians Professor Alistair Thomson and Dr Deb Anderson. \nPhoto: Mothers and babies at the Drouin Infant Welfare Centre\, Victoria\, circa 1944.

SUMMARY:An evening in Melbourne's Lanes
DESCRIPTION:We’d like to invite our members and friends to an old-fashioned slide night! \nOur Publications Committee\, volunteers and staff have been working hard on producing a new edition of Weston Bate’s immensely popular 1994 publication\, Essential but Unplanned\, The Story of Melbourne’s Lanes. It is an exciting project which has already delivered to the RHSV some major serendipitous benefits which we want to celebrate and share with our members although the book itself will be released in 2024. \nRichard Broome has been working with the U3A Hawthorn Camera Club to update some of the laneway images for the new edition and through this connection we’ve been offered some extraordinary collections of contemporary images of Melbourne’s lanes. \nIn an evening hosted by our President\, Richard Broome\, three different curated collections of CBD images will be presented on the night: \n\nThe U3A Hawthorn Camera Club is donating their 2\,000 digital images of laneways to the RHSV for the new lanes book and also for our collection. They will present a selection of their best photos;\nPeter Grimm\, an avid photographer\, has been been documenting Melbourne’s CBD and especially its laneway street art since 2007. Peter is donating some 8\,000 digital images of contemporary Melbourne to the RHSV. Peter too has the unenviable task of selecting the best of his 8\,000! Peter will talk too about the creation of this stunning collection;\nAnd finally\, Dr Roland Burke\, senior lecturer in World History at La Trobe University has been creating 3-D photographs of Melbourne’s lanes and he will present some of his images and talk about this process.\n\nJoin us for refreshments\, to meet the photographers and to enjoy a small sample of these massive new collections generously donated to the RHSV.

SUMMARY:Tour of Victorian Trades Hall
DESCRIPTION:During those lost COVID years the Victorian Trades Hall underwent a massive renovation which focused on not just the building but the vital cultural heritage that lives within its walls. We have organised a tour for RHSV members only (as we have limited places). \nPhotos and text courtesy of architects\, Lovell Chen’s\, website: “The Trades Hall\, on the corner of Victoria and Lygon streets in Melbourne\, is one of the world’s oldest trade union buildings. It has been the home of trade unionism in the state of Victoria since 1874\, and is associated with the history of the Australian Labour Party and with events significant to the whole country. In 2016\, we completed a condition survey and Conservation Management Plan\, considering the whole of the much-expanded complex. A grant application for state funding through the Living Heritage Program was successfully made for implementation of conservation and refurbishment works to key public spaces\, the portico and the roof. The Victorian Trades Hall Council also funded works from its own resources (and individual union contributions)\, which were carried out at the same time. \n“The Trades Hall was constructed in ten stages\, the most significant of which occurred between 1876 and 1925. It is principally recognisable for its imposing two-storey Classical/Renaissance Revival facade\, which has been extended relatively consistently as each new wing has been added. The earliest section (1874) is at the southern end of the site\, directly behind the present Victoria Street entry building (1925). The original architects were Joseph Reed (1822-1890) and Frederick Barnes (c.1823-1883)\, of Reed and Barnes\, designers of much of Melbourne’s grand 19th century architectural heritage\, including the Royal Exhibition Building. \n“Stage 1 of the project was completed in 2019. Stage 2 in 2022. Stage 3 has commenced. \n“Victorian Architecture Award 2020 : Heritage Architecture – conservation\nProperty Council of Australia : Innovation & Excellence Awards 2022 : Best Heritage Development (Stages 1+ 2)” \n\nYour guide will be Antony Moore who is a long-time union official with the Vehicle Division of the AMWU. Unfortunately\, with the closing of Australia’s car manufacturing plants\, Antony no longer had a role\, however\, for the past 6 years\, from the very start\, he has been heavily involved in the renovations at Trades Hall – working alongside archaeologists\, conservators and many other experts who have ensured that this important building and its cultural heritage are preserved. Antony is a passionate amateur historian and advocate for the building and its cultural heritage. \n\nYour ticket money will be donated to the Victorian Trades Hall for their work on stage 3 of the renovation. \n\n\n\nYou will be sent a reminder about the event\, with your meeting place for the tour\, 24 hours before the event. \nBecause this tour is limited to 20 persons we do limit it to RHSV financial members only. Please be aware that tour participants will be walking up and down flights of stairs – it is not a fully accessible tour.

SUMMARY:Fashion in the Age of Elegance 1840-1900
DESCRIPTION:In a foreign climate and environment\, how did European women adapt to living in rural Victoria and the emerging suburbs of Melbourne? Explore and delight in the opulent tastes and styles adopted by women through nineteenth century gowns from the fashion and design collection of the Kew Historical Society. \nMary Ann Henty came with her husband\, Francis Henty to the Port Phillip District immediately after their marriage in Launceston in 1842. The gown she wore at the ceremony is the centrepiece of a large collection of gowns owned and worn by pioneering Victorian families. A number of our newly acquired costumes in the Henty Collection will join other historic costumes donated by descendants of the Coombs and Weir families. \nThe exhibition includes silken gowns worn for special events such as weddings and balls as well as examples of day dresses used for entertaining at home and when visiting. It will allow you to view evolving styles of outerwear and undergarments\, which only occasionally responded to a new climate and environment. \nThe exhibition runs for three weekends and will be supplemented by a series of midweek lectures on the activities and tastes of women in colonial Victoria. The formal rooms of the Villa Alba Museum \, 44 Walmer Street\, Kew\, 3101\, will form a vivid background to the items exhibited. \nOpen Saturdays & Sundays 22 April – 7 May\, 10am-12pm\, 1pm–3pm.
