SUMMARY:Rare Book Week: ‘Good price\, reliable recipes\, great photos’
DESCRIPTION:Australian Women’s Weekly cookbooks and their influence on Australian food culture \nSpeaker: Dr Lauren Samuelsson \nThe Australian Women’s Weekly’scookbooks were (and still are) remarkably popular. The Weekly\, Australia’s most popular women’s magazine\, started publishing a range of cookbooks from the late 1930s\, but it was during the 1970s when their cookbooks became incredibly popular. Many of the Weekly’s cookbooks\, whether the Children’s Birthday Cake Book or the Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook\, have become ‘bibles’ in the Australian kitchen. This talk will investigate how these books came to be\, why they were so popular\, and how they helped shape Australia’s food culture. \nPresented by The Old Treasury Building\nThis is a ZOOM online event only\nFriday 19th July\, 11am – 12pm \nClick here to register  \n  \nThis event is part of Rare Book Week.\nYou can access the full program here.

SUMMARY:Zoom lecture: Gardens and land management in Western Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Zoom lecture: Gardens and land management in Western Victoria  \nWinter online zoom lecture by Dr Raymond Madden\, Senior Lecturer\, Anthropologist\, in the School of Social Sciences\, La Trobe University \nJames Dawson\, (1806-1900)\, was a prominent pastoralist in the colonial history of western Victoria.  In 1881 he published\, ‘ Australian Aborigines: The Languages and Customs of Several Tribes of Aborigines in the Western District of Victoria’. This lecture will outline Dawson’s knowledge\, respect and advocacy for Aboriginal people and his appreciation of their land management or ‘gardening’ skills. He was also a good friend of the colonial artist Eugene von Guerard\, who often stayed with Dawson at his properties Kangatong and Wuurong\, on his various sojourns into the western district regions. Dawson was also very aware of the imminent denuding of the Tower Hill landscape\, leading to the commissioning of Guerard to capture it in his famous painting. This ties in with the spring bus trip in November. \n  \nPresented by: Victorian branch – Australian Garden History Society \nCost:  $10 members AGHS\, $10 Friends RBG\, $15 non-members \nWhen: 9th July\, 6pm \nLocation: A Zoom link will be provided with reminder email before the session. \nBook: at https://www.trybooking.com/CRVMG \n

SUMMARY:HCV Book+Author seminar series: Science and Power in the Nineteenth-Century Tasman World
DESCRIPTION:In the History Council of Victoria’s third Book+Author event for the year\, we will be joined by Alexandra Roginski\, Melbourne-based historian\, writer and heritage worker and Visiting Fellow of Deakin University\, who will be discussing her fascinating new book in conversation with convenor Dr Yves Rees. Alexandra completed her PhD at the ANU in 2018 and her work focuses on ideas and practices of the body\, past and present. Science and Power in the Nineteenth-Century Tasman World is Alexandra’s second book\, and explores the contentious science of phrenology\, which once promised insight into character and intellect through external ‘reading’ of the head. In the transforming settler-colonial landscapes of nineteenth-century Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand\, popular phrenologists – figures who often hailed from the margins – performed their science of touch and cranial jargon everywhere from mechanics’ institutions to public houses. In this compelling work\, Alexandra Roginski recounts a history of this everyday practice\, exploring how it featured in the fates of people living in\, and moving through\, the Tasman World. \nTime/date: Thursday 27 June\, 6pm-7pm \nWhere: The Wheeler Centre\, State Library of Victoria\, Melbourne CBD \n\n\n\nBOOK HERE

SUMMARY:CURATOR'S TOUR OF MELBOURNE'S STORIED LANEWAYS WITH DAVID THOMPSON
DESCRIPTION:David Thompson will take you behind the scenes of our current exhibition\, Melbourne’s Storied Laneways which David curated. The exhibition was prompted by the upcoming publication of The Story of Melbourne’s Lanes: Essential but Unplanned by Weston Bate\, Richard Broome\, Nicole Davis\, Andrew J. May\, Helen Stitt which will be launched on 3rd October 2024. \nWe all have our favourite Melbourne laneway and curator David Thompson has chosen a handful of lanes which reveal intriguing Melbourne stories. When we think of today’s gussied-up\, tourist-friendly laneways like Guilford Lane and Hosier Lane\, it is hard to imagine that a mere 50 years ago the laneways were workaday places full still of small factories and light industry. \nOther dates available: \n28 August \n25 September\n9 October

SUMMARY:The Yallourn Scheme : Celebrating 100 years of Power Generation
DESCRIPTION:  \nEngineering Heritage Victoria and the RHSV present this event to celebrate the centenary of Victoria’s first baseload power station in the Latrobe Valley and the greatest single public infrastructure project the nation had seen. \n  \nPassing without fanfare or public ceremony\, at midday on Sunday 15 June 1924\, electricity from the new Yallourn Power Station first reached Melbourne when the State Electricity Commission switched on the high voltage transmission line linking Morwell and the Yarraville distribution terminal. The event marked the culmination of a five-year project to develop Victoria’s first baseload power station in the Latrobe Valley and the greatest single public infrastructure project the nation had seen. It was proclaimed by the press as “the cessation of Victoria’s subservience … to the coal mines of Newcastle”\, and would provide the foundation for the State’s industrial\, economic and social prosperity over the following decades. \nThis presentation will outline the key events in the development of the Yallourn Power Scheme\, touching on the historic context\, key engineers involved and some of the technical challenges encountered from conception through to commissioning and early operation. The talk will be illustrated by historic images from the extensive photographic collection acquired in 1993 by the Museum of Victoria from the former State Electricity Commission\, prior to its disaggregation and privatisation. \nSpeaker: \nMatthew Churchward\, Senior Curator\, Engineering & Transport\, Museums Victoria \nAfter originally training in mechanical engineering\, Matthew Churchward has spent much of the past 35 years in the museum and heritage sector. He has held a curatorial role with Museums Victoria since 1994\, working on acquisitions\, collection database development\, public programs\, exhibitions and the creation of websites and online content. \nHis engineering skills have proved invaluable in overseeing the restoration and conservation of many large objects in the museum’s collection – ranging from steam engines\, tractors and farm machinery to horse-drawn vehicles\, motor vehicles and the Great Melbourne Telescope. \nHis research interests encompass Victoria’s mining\, engineering and transport history – including shipping\, railways\, roads\, bridges\, ports\, sewerage\, water supply and electricity infrastructure. \n  \n  \nThis will be preceded by an\nOpen Day at PowerWorks\, \nRidge Road\, Morwell.\nSat 15 Jun 2024 12 noon to 3.00 pm\n“Celebration of the centenary of power transmission between Yallourn and Melbourne”.\nIn collaboration with Energy Australia. \nHousekeeping \nWhen you book tickets you will be sent an automatic\, system-generated confirmation email with your tickets. If this can’t be found in your in-box please check your Spam folder or Junk Mail folder as these system-generated emails often go astray. If you can’t find your tickets\, don’t panic\, we always have a list at the door. \nAs with most RHSV events\, we will serve refreshments from 5:30pm – 6pm when the lecture starts. \nThe Zoom-cast will begin at 6pm.

SUMMARY:Out of the Straight-Jacket: the art of anti-colonial history
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSIONAL HISTORIANS AUSTRALIA PROUDLY INVITES YOU TO THE 2024 WILSON HISTORY ORATION\nOut of the Straight-Jacket: the art of anti-colonial history\nAn oration by Dr Rachel Buchanan \nFrom swamp to chateau to the House of Lords\, as Dr Rachel Buchanan researched the wild\, globetrotting journey of five magnificent 17th century carvings made by ancestors in Taranaki\, she also received an education in the art of anti-colonial history. Through wānanga and discussions with the Hon. Mahara Okeroa and other mentors\, Rachel learned how to escape the straight-jacket of historical facts and write a story that is closer to the truth of ongoing tino rangatiratanga – or sovereignty – for Taranaki. \nAbout Rachel:\nDr Rachel Buchanan (Taranaki\, Te Ātiawa) is a Māori historian who is a manuhiri (guest) on Bunurong land in Naarm-Melbourne. Rachel’s most recent book\, Te Motunui Epa\, was a co-winner of the 2023 Ernest Scott Prize for History for distinguished historical writing that contributes to the history of Australia or New Zealand\, and the 2023 W H Oliver Prize for the best book on any aspect of New Zealand history. \nAbout the Wilson History Oration:\nThe Wilson History Oration was established in memory of Dr Bill Wilson OAM (1942-2021). After retiring from a career in law enforcement\, Bill forged a new career as a historian with an unwavering commitment to the PHA. Every year\, PHA invite an eminent historian in their field to present the Wilson History Oration to PHA members across Australia. \nDate: Thursday 13 June 2024\,\nTime: 6pm-7pm\,\nWhere: online\nThis event is free to all.

SUMMARY:The Great Orange Peel Panic: and other stories from Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:🍊 The Great Orange Peel Panic: and other stories from Melbourne \nDid you know around the 1860’s civic reprobates who discarded orange peel in the streets of Melbourne\, risked life and limb? Apparently new flagstone paving stones\, combined with discarded orange peels\, were a serious hazard. Oranges were a popular snack at the time and peel littered the pavements\, with women blamed by the newspapers as the ‘chief strewers of peel’. \nJoin us as Robyn Annear talks about this story and more from her new book Corners of Melbourne. Robyn is an author who…’tackles her sprawling subject matter with her trademark wit and her knack for singling out the perfect historical reference.’ Age \nThis is a joint event with Family History Connections. Bookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.

SUMMARY:Making Public Histories: Energy Transitions: Historicising Australia's Nuclear Debate – 5pm (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Australia is in the midst of an energy transition\, but specific policies and decisions around the shift to more renewable forms of energy production\, storage and use have become the subject of heated debate. Historians have an important role to play in this debate\, shedding light on the historical factors that shape ideas and attitudes in the present. How have Australians thought about nuclear energy\, and the extractive processes that underpin it\, over the last seventy years? What cultural attitudes have developed around coal and coal mining in Australia\, and how do they shape attitudes and policy today? And how have we transitioned between energy regimes in the past? \nIn this seminar\, three leading scholars consider how Australia’s past shapes debates about the nation’s contested energy transition today. \nSpeakers: \nAssoc. Prof. Nancy Cushing (University of Newcastle) \nDr Jessica Urwin (La Trobe University/Australian National University) \nDr Matthew Ryan (The Australia Institute) \nThis event will be chaired by Rohan Howitt of Monash University. \nWe thank the series sponsors\, Monash University Publishing\, the Monash University History Program and the Old Treasury Building. \nBookings:  https://www.historycouncilvic.org.au/australia_s_nuclear_debate_mph\nWe will be live tweeting the event from our Twitter/X account @History_Vic with the hashtag #MakingPublicHistories

SUMMARY:RHSV AGM + 2024 Weston Bate Oration: Dr Fiona Gatt
DESCRIPTION:The forgotten class? Shopkeepers of nineteenth-century Melbourne\nShopkeepers played a vital role in the functioning of nineteenth-century Melbourne society. They owned the businesses where residents obtained goods\, from basic daily needs to the flights and fancies of an emerging modern consumer culture. Echoes of their presence live on in the shopfronts and main shopping streets. This lecture investigates and compares the shopkeepers who operated in three distinct\, representative suburbs of nineteenth-century Melbourne: genteel Malvern\, inner urban North Melbourne and industrial Footscray. In doing so it provides a genuine comparative cross-section of the urban retail trade in this period and reveals the subtle differences between these localities in terms of the prestige and identity ascribed to shopkeepers within the socio-economic fabric of these local societies. Yet across all three towns (or suburbs)\, shopkeepers held an important and unique role\, one that cannot be understood through the same lens as the working class or middle class. \nDr Fiona Gatt is a professional historian who works on commissioned histories for clients such as the National Trust of Australia (Victoria). She teaches history at La Trobe and Deakin universities and undertakes research for history projects at universities across Australia. Her particular areas of interest include urban history\, class\, migration\, housing and First Nations history. Her work has been published in History Australia\, Postcolonial Studies\, the Victorian Historical Journal\, and shortlisted for the Victorian Community History Awards. The 2024 Weston Bate Oration will present Fiona’s research findings as Historian in Residence at the Royal Historical Society of Victoria 2023–2024. \nThe Weston Bate Oration is one of the RHSV’s Distinguished Lecture Series. \nHousekeeping \nThe Weston Bate Oration follows the RHSV’s Annual General Meeting. The AGM runs from 5pm until about 6:10pm when we have a short break before resuming for the Oration at 6:30pm. Refreshments will be served in that break. If you wish to attend the Oration only then there is no need to arrive at the Drill Hall until\, say\, 6:15pm for 6:30pm. \nBoth the AGM and the Oration are hybrid and will be available on ZOOM for those who cannot attend in person at the Drill Hall. The same ZOOM log-in will apply to both the AGM and the Oration and those log-in details will be sent to those who RSVP 24 hours before the event. You just need to log-in when you are able to join the meeting/oration. \nThere is the opportunity below to record your apologies if you cannot attend the AGM in person or via ZOOM. \nMembers will be sent the papers for the AGM 14 days prior to the AGM. \nNon-members are more than welcome to attend the AGM – we just ask members to identify themselves when RSVPing as it makes it easier for us to count votes etc

The RHSV does not endorse any particular cataloguing software – we believe it is horses for courses – and Jillian will talk about issues that impact on cataloguing whether you are using cataloguing cards or software. \nThe one-hour clinics are free and the Zoom log-in below is used every month in 2024\, however\, we do ask you to register each month as this enables Jillian to send you extra material / links etc after each session. \nThe remaining Cataloguing Clinics in 2024 will be held at \n\nThu 23 May 11am – 12noon (AEST)\nThu 27 Jun 11am – 12noon (AEST)\nThu 25 Jul 11am – 12noon (AEST)\nThu 22 Aug 11am – 12noon (AEST)\nThu 26 Sep 11am – 12noon (AEST)\nThu 24 Oct 11am – 12noon (AEDT)\nThu 28 Nov 11am – 12noon (AEDT)\n\nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZYqcO-hqD8uH92SLyLFy8RywYTvMs4EraaZ/ics?icsToken=98tyKuGqqTwsE9KRtByORpwQB4_CM_PwpilbgvoPrzP8LwZKOjHvIdt2JJ9sRP3C \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82776964459?pwd=NmNXVVpVSWxTejRpUDBQUnpNaEQxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 827 7696 4459\nPasscode: 142102 \nIf joining by phone: \nOne tap mobile\n+61370182005\,\,82776964459#\,\,\,\,*142102# Australia\n+61731853730\,\,82776964459#\,\,\,\,*142102# Australia \nDial by your location\n• +61 3 7018 2005 Australia\n• +61 7 3185 3730 Australia\n• +61 8 6119 3900 Australia\n• +61 8 7150 1149 Australia\n• +61 2 8015 6011 Australia \nMeeting ID: 827 7696 4459\nPasscode: 142102 \nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdh0GPiJW \n

SUMMARY:A Musical Ouroboros
DESCRIPTION:🎶 A Musical Ouroboros – how the Hottest 100 both reflects and encourages the empowerment of Australian youth. \nFor 30 years\, triple j’s Hottest 100 has been Australia’s go-to countdown for the year’s top songs. Beyond mere entertainment\, it’s a reflection of youth sentiment. In the past\, it echoed Gen X rebellion with bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Today\, it’s a diverse tapestry showcasing female artists\, LGBTQ+ voices\, and people of colour\, mirroring a generational shift. This countdown isn’t just about music; it’s a space where young Aussies steer the conversation. Their votes drive the event’s success\, inadvertently giving them a platform and a voice in shaping cultural dialogue. \nBookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.

SUMMARY:MENTIONS IN DESPATCHES: In Conversation with Dave Sabben MG
DESCRIPTION:Get a fascinating glimpse into day-to-day life during the Vietnam War as Dave Sabben MG uncovers stories from his new book Mentions in Despatches.  \nAppearing in conversation with Shrine Governor and former broadcaster Squadron Leader (Retd) Peter Meehan OAM\, Sabben will share his stories of service collected from letters sent home during his tour of Vietnam. \nFrom arriving in South Vietnam to the Battle of Long Tan\, this talk will reveal in unrivalled detail what life was like for a frontline soldier in a war without front lines. \nAfter the talk\, guests are invited to attend a Last Post Service\, from 4.45pm–5pm\, commemorating Operation Hardihood—a joint US and Australian security operation to clear and seize Nui Dat in 1966. \nCopies of Mentions in Despatches will be available for purchase at the event. \nBook here: https://www.shrine.org.au/mentions-despatches-conversation-dave-sabben-mg \n“A must-read for anyone who aspires to become a worthy leader in the Australian Army\, but equally readable for anyone interested in a grassroots picture of what a soldier endured during a 1960s tour of Vietnam.” \nSgt Dave Morely\, Army Newspaper
