SUMMARY:In Search of the Last Continent: Melbourne and early Antarctic exploration
DESCRIPTION:In 1886 gentlemen from Victoria’s Royal Society and Geographical Society formed a joint Australian Antarctic Exploration Committee. With the ear of the Premier and his Agent General in London\, they energetically pursued a joint whaling and scientific expedition. They came tantalising close to their goal and helped inspire the first landing and the first overwintering on the Antarctic continent. Through both published and unpublished items from the RHSV\, join librarian and author Andrew McConville to explore this and other stories of early Antarctic exploration. \nFor 70 years powerful countries despatched expeditions to explore the south polar regions. By 1843 they had seen enough to realise that this most remote and impenetrable place offered considerable danger and no strategic or economic benefit. The great nations turned away. In the 1880s Melbourne’s men of science formed a committee to revive interest in Antarctic exploration. They canvassed the colonies and the world in attempts to raise an expedition. Ultimately unsuccessful\, they did though inspire the first publicly recorded landing on the Antarctic continent by Henrik Bull and the crew of his whaling expedition. This created a sensation and led to the first overwintering on the Antarctic continent by crewman C.E. Borchgrevink’s expedition. Andrew McConville’s book\, In Search of the Last Continent: Australia and Early Antarctic Exploration\, outlines early Antarctic exploration and concentrates on Melbourne’s Antarctic Exploration Committee and the voyages of Bull and Borchgrevink. \n\n\nAndrew McConville is a reference and research librarian at the State Library of Victoria. Andrew has a particular interest in the history of 19th century Antarctic exploration. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the 2024 Rare Book Week program together with the Ephemera Society of Australia’s event on Antarctic ephemera which is held at the RHSV on the same day at 11am. \nMorning tea will be served to those attending both events at 12 noon. Audience members are more than welcome to bring lunch and drinks into the gallery whilst attending these events. \n

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:'Watandar\, My Countryman' screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Shrine for a screening of the heart-warming and eye-opening documentary film\, Watandar\, My Countryman. \nThe documentary follows photographer and Human Rights Activist Muzafar Ali\, who in 2015 resettled in Australia and became the first in five generations of his family to no longer be a refugee. When he discovers that Afghans have been in Australia for 160 years\, he’s compelled to photograph and document the stories of their descendants. \nThen\, on 15 August 2021\, the Taliban take over Afghanistan. With his homeland lost\, he’s driven to help and reaches out to his former colleagues\, whose lives are in danger. He tries to help them escape\, but he also knows that millions will be left behind and he must do everything he can to keep their hope alive. His photography project becomes an even more personal journey as he recognises\, in the Descendants\, his own search for a new Afghan-Australian identity. \nAfter the screening\, there will be a Q&A with Muzafar Ali and writer\, director and producer\, Jolyon Hoff

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.
