SUMMARY:Making Public Histories: Australia's Broken Years?
DESCRIPTION:History Council of Victoria Presents – Making Public Histories: Australia’s Broken Years? \nHistorian Joan Beaumont’s books Broken Nation: Australians in the Great War (2013) and Australia’s Great Depression (2022) offer profound reinterpretations of those pivotal events of the early twentieth century. \nIn conversation with Alistair Thomson (Anzac Memories: Living with the Legend\, 2013)\, Joan will reflect on what brought her to the study of the Great War and the Great Depression\, the challenges she faced in researching and crafting her books\, and how we might best understand these events and their reverberating effects on individuals\, families and nation. \nJoan Beaumont is an internationally recognised historian of Australia in the two world wars\, Australian defence and foreign policy\, the history of prisoners of war and the memory and heritage of war. Broken Nation: Australians and the Great War (Allen & Unwin\, 2013) was joint winner of the 2014 winner of the Prime Minister’s Literary Award (Australian History)\, the 2014 NSW Premier’s Prize (Australian History)\, the 2014 Queensland Literary Award for History\, and the Australian Society of Authors’ 2015 Asher Award. She is Professor Emerita at ANU\, and previously served as Dean of Arts and Social Sciences at the ANU (2010-11) and Dean of Arts at Deakin University (1998-2008). \nAlistair Thomson is Professor of History at Monash University and President of Oral History Australia. His books include: Anzac Memories (1994 and 2013)\, The Oral History Reader (1998\, 2006 and 2015 with Robert Perks)\, Ten Pound Poms (2005\, with Jim Hammerton)\, Moving Stories: an intimate history of four women across two countries (2011)\, Oral History and Photography (2011\, with Alexander Freund)\, and Australian Lives: An Intimate History (2017\, with Anisa Puri).

SUMMARY:HUGH ANDERSON LECTURE DELIVERED BY PROFESSOR SHEILA FITZPATRICK
DESCRIPTION:Haven for Holocaust Survivors: “Wanda Court”\, a Melbourne Suburban Ethnography of the 1940s and ’50s\nWe are thrilled that eminent historian Professor Sheila Fitzpatrick will deliver the 2nd Hugh Anderson Lecture in the RHSV’s Distinguished Lecturer series. Sheila turns her historian’s gaze to the block of flats where she grew up and where most other residents were European Jewish refugees.  \nSheila Fitzpatrick is primarily a historian of modern Russia\, especially the Stalin period\, who received her B.A. (Hons.) at the University of Melbourne and her D. Phil. at St. Antony’s College\, Oxford. In recent years she has added a transnational dimension with her research on Russian migration to Australia. She received a Mellon Foundation Distinguished Achievement Award in 2002 and the American Historical Association’s Award for Scholarly Distinction in 2012. She is past President of the Association for Slavic\, East European and Eurasian Studies (formerly AAASS) and a member of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She was based in the US for many years\, latterly as Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago\, before her return to Australia in 2012. \nHer recent books include Tear off the Masks! Identity and Imposture in Twentieth-Century Russia (2005)\, A Spy in the Archives: A Memoir of Cold-War Russia (2014); On Stalin’s Team: the Years of Living Dangerously in Soviet Politics (co-winner of 2016 Prime Minister’s Award for Non-Fiction)\, and Mischka’s War: A European Odyssey of the 1940s (2017\, short-listed for 2018 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction). With Mark Edele and Atina Grossmann\, she co-edited and co-authored Shelter From the Holocaust. Rethinking Jewish Survival in the Soviet Union (2017). Her book\, White Russians\, Red Peril: A Cold War History of Migration was published by Black\, Inc.\, Melbourne\, in 2021; followed by The Shortest History of the Soviet Union in 2022. She is currently working on a monograph\, Displacement: Repatriation and Resettlement of Russian and Soviet Displaced Persons after the Second World War\, and a biography of Lenin’s wife\, Nadezhda Krupskaya. \nHugh Anderson (1927-2017) was a scholar of formidable breadth\, productivity and versatility. While it is as a folklorist that he is arguably best known both in Australia and abroad\, Anderson’s prolific output also included biography\, bibliography\, history\, school textbooks and documentary collections. His range of interests was very wide: Anderson seemed as comfortable in writing about John Pascoe Fawkner as Squizzy Taylor\, as at home with an Aboriginal gumleaf player and a Sydney street poet as with the exquisite verse of John Shaw Neilson or the stately poetry of Bernard O’Dowd. Anderson’s historical and biographical writing incorporated many of the materials\, perspectives and insights derived from folklore studies\, and he treated literary creativity as central to telling the Melbourne\, Victorian and Australian stories. Anderson’s boundary-riding between history\, biography\, folklore and literature was remarkably productive for him\, and it was not unusual among writers with his radical-nationalist politics in the middle decades of the twentieth century. (An edited version of material written by Professor Frank Bongiorno) \n  \nThis event is offered both in person at the RHSV and also via ZOOM. Those who are attending by ZOOM will be sent their log-in details 24 hours prior to the event. \nAs with all RHSV events\, we serve refreshments from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture will start. 6pm is also when the ZOOM broadcast will start. \nPhoto: courtesy of ABC Radio\, Conversations with Richard Fidler.

SUMMARY:WRITING HISTORY GROUP

SUMMARY:ZOOM CONVERSATION WITH GRAEME DAVISON ABOUT MY GRANDFATHER'S CLOCK
DESCRIPTION:The RHSV is delighted to co-host with the Genealogical Society of Victoria this ZOOM conversation with Emeritus Professor Graeme Davison AO about his latest book\, My Grandfather’s Clock. \nA great-aunt’s bequest – a 200-year-old grandfather clock – sends historian Graeme Davison on a journey deep into his father’s family’s past. From their tribal homeland in the Scottish Borders he follows them to the garrison town of Carlisle\, from industrial Birmingham to Edwardian Australia\, and from the Great War to his own suburban childhood. This is the story of an ordinary family’s journey from frontier warfare and dispossession through economic turmoil and emigration to modest prosperity.

SUMMARY:The Chipilly Six: Lucus Jordon in Conversation with Ross McMullin
DESCRIPTION:On 9 August 1918\, on high ground overlooking the Somme River\, an entire British Army Corps was held up by German machine gunners.

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.

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.
