SUMMARY:Beyond the Docks: The Oil Rigs Symposium
DESCRIPTION:A public forum for changing the way we see and understand ‘Maritime Melbourne and Victoria’\nJoin ‘Amphibious’ Curator and cultural programmer Valentina Bydanova\, partnering with RMIT early career Photographer Jesse Grey\, in the Beyond the Docks Symposium to explore the Bass Strait oil rigs and their history as a ‘community landscape’ or\, we should say\, seascape. \nThe discovery of the nation’s largest oil field in 1967; the Kingfish oil field (in the Gippsland Basin)\, changed Australia and Victoria’s industry and economy. However\, not many Melbournians/ Victorians know that Bass Strait is dotted with 22 oil rigs that provide Victoria with 60 per cent of its oil and gas needs. Still\, most of us rightfully have questions and opinions about these industrial complexes\, beyond the docks and beyond our view. Many wonder how oil rigs impact local and global environments\, and how the transition from extractive to more sustainable models of fuel will be actualised by local governments\, service providers\, global leaders – and ‘the people’. \nHosted by the Amphibious curatorial and photographic team\, this Symposium is designed for open\, critical and curious public discussion. The audience’s questions and conversations about this world-class infrastructure on our doorstep will shape the teams’ following documentary photographic expedition to capture the often-invisible world of the Gippsland Basin oil rigs. \nThe photographs taken\, and subsequent outdoor exhibition held at the Docklands\, will serve as visual answers to public questions raised about this infrastructure that currently powers our lives. \nThe Amphibious team needs your input: Shaping maritime Melbourne  \nCome to discuss and shape a new approach to creating art and conversation about under-represented local marine-maritime spaces. The Amphibious team believes that we can position local waterways as cultural theatres of exchange and encounter\, to inspire greater public appreciation of Melbourne as a maritime city. \nThis symposium organised by Amphibious’ Curator\, Valentina Bydanova\, will be an in-person event only. Light refreshments will be served and there will be a display of material from the RHSV collection which is related to Bass Strait oil rigs. \n \nImage captions: \nOffshore Platform Marlin B (ExxonMobil Australia) \nBass Strait Oil and Gas System (ExxonMobil Australia 2022)

SUMMARY:Book Launch: LINE OF BLOOD: The Truth of Alfred Howitt by Craig Horne
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne Books invites you\nto the launch of  LINE OF BLOOD: The Truth of Alfred Howitt by Craig Horne\nTo be launched by Hilary McPhee\n  \n \nLine of Blood: The Truth of Alfred Howitt tells the full story of Australia’s so-called ‘ablest anthropologist’; the botanist\, geologist\, senior public servant and explorer Alfred Howitt—and ancestor of the author\, Craig Horne.\nHowitt first made his name in Australia as a bushman and explorer—Mt Howitt and Howitt Plain in the Victorian Alps are named in his honour. That he was an extraordinarily capable polymath is not challenged. What this book challenges are the contributions of Howitt’s anthropological conclusions\, coupled with his social and political influences\, in legitimising the murderous advance of white settlement upon the Australia landscape.\nFor Howitt\, the ‘line of blood’ that followed white settlement was nothing more than the iron law of replacement—whereby an ‘inferior race’ is inevitably usurped by a ‘superior civilisation’. Howitt’s racial ideologies facilitated a pattern of Australia’s mechanical dismissal of First Nations peoples; identifying them as ‘savages’\, ‘blacks’\, and in need of saving through a determined white policy of paternalistic neglect. \nCraig Horne worked as the Communications Manager for Aboriginal Affairs Victoria for ten years and was a member of the Victorian Archaeological Survey in the 1970s. In that time\, he was confronted with the devastating impact of Australia’s racism on First Nations peoples and became determined to help those wanting to hold a mirror up to these destructive ideologies. He subsequently worked as a public servant and speechwriter. He has also pursued a successful parallel career as a musician and singer on the Melbourne scene over the last fifty years.\nCraig has published a trilogy of music biographies with Melbourne Books\, including Daddy Who?; Roots: How Melbourne became the music capital of the world; and more recently I’ll Be Gone\, Mike Rudd\, Spectrum and how one song captured a generation. \nHilary McPhee is a writer\, editor and founder of McPhee Gribble Publishers with Diana Gribble. She was also Chair of the Australian Council for the Arts 1994-97 and inaugural Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Melbourne until 2004.  Her books include Other People’s Words\, Wordlines and Memoirs of a Young Bastard: The Diaries of Tim Burstall and Other People’s Houses. \nYou will be sent a confirmation email of your booking\, please check your Spam or Junk Mail folder if it isn’t in your In-box as sometimes these automatically generated emails get treated as spam.

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.

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: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
