SUMMARY:History Council of Victoria Book+Author - Courting: An Intimate History of Love and the Law
DESCRIPTION:In the HCV’s first in-person author talk of 2024\, Dr Yves Rees will be in-conversation with Dr Alecia Simmonds\, award-winning historian and author of Courting: An Intimate History of Love and the Law (La Trobe University Press\, 2023). \nCourting is a history of love turned sour: the story of jilted lovers who claimed legal compensation for “breach of promise to marry”. In this compelling account of courtroom drama\, Simmonds asks big questions about the ethics of love and the role of law in our private lives. Described by Anne Summers as “enthralling and compelling”\, Courting follows Simmonds’s debut Wild Man\, which won the 2016 Davitt Prize for best nonfiction crime writing.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH OF UNIVERSITIES IN TIMES OF CRISIS AND DISRUPTION BY LORRAINE LING AND KAY LIVINGSTON
DESCRIPTION:To be launched by Emeritus Professor John Dewar AO\, immediate past President and Vice-Chancellor\, La Trobe University. \nA panel of distinguished academics\, Emeritus Professor John Dewar AO\, Emeritus Professor Kwong Lee Dow AO\, and Professor Marcia Devlin AM\,  will discuss some of the key concepts from the book and then we will take questions from the audience.   \nDrinks and light refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the event. \nThis book examines the role and future of universities in times of chronic disruption and crisis – presented via an original conceptual framework which the authors term ‘Dislocated Complexity’ – and discusses how to move forward in the face of severely disrupted social\, political\, economic and environment contexts. \nDemonstrating how global crises\, especially the COVID-19 pandemic\, have dramatically dislocated and disrupted all contexts of society\, the authors use this framework of Dislocated Complexity to propose a set of characteristics and values that underpin roles for universities\, considering the future of universities with regards to teaching and learning\, research\, management and leadership\, workforce change\, policy-making and engagement. Novel\, innovative concepts and theoretical perspectives are brought to the analysis of futures\, roles and activities of universities by the authors\, such as ‘Unscripted Agency’\, ‘Clashing -ologies’\, ‘Emanant Trust’ and ‘Dislocated Complexity Leadership Theory’. \nUltimately calling for a rethink of university futures\, this timely book will be of great interest to academics\, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of higher education research and teaching and learning. It will also be of interest to university managers\, educational policy makers\, and those who are ‘hidden’ or informal educators in the community. \n\n\n\nLorraine Ling is Emeritus Professor at La Trobe University\, Victoria\, Australia and has worked as an education academic in universities for over 35 years during which time she has fulfilled a range of roles including lecturing\, executive Dean of Education\, Head of Campus and Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor. Her research interests include education policy\, educational administration\, sociology of education\, values in education and research paradigms and methods. Lorraine has led international educational development projects and has authored and co-authored many journal articles and books. She had received numerous awards in recognition of her contribution to education and teacher education. \nKay Livingston is Professor of Educational Research\, Policy and Practice at the School of Education\, University of Glasgow\, UK. She has worked as an education academic for over 30 years\, holding a range of roles in universities including Co-ordinator of International Education\, Director of an Education Research Centre\, Research Impact Champion and undertaken a secondment to a government agency as Director of International Research and Innovation in an educational policy context. Her work has a strong international focus and she has knowledge and expertise in education systems across Europe. Her main research interests include teacher education\, innovation in curriculum\, assessment and pedagogy and digital literacies. Kay has lead many international research and development projects. She has authored and co-authored journal articles and books and was editor of the European Journal of Teacher Education for many years and was a co-editor of the Curriculum Journal. \n\n\n\n\nREVIEW\n“The University in Dislocated Complexity is a tremendous book\, working as it does on several levels and yet with a conversational and highly accessible and inviting style.  It is chock-full of ideas and builds on innovative concepts (such as ‘dislocated complexity’ itself\, ‘unscripted agency’\, ‘emanant trust’)\, it is full of telling examples\, it will have wide resonance across the world\, and it is motivated by a sense that universities can even develop their agency amid the maelstroms that they face.  The complexity that universities face may be dislocated and\, indeed\, dislocating but it need not be dispiriting: there is much that can be done. It is a book for our times in higher education.” \n– Ronald Barnett\, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education\, University College London\, UK.

SUMMARY:CATALOGUING CLINICS 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, each month in this informative and easy-going Zoom forum on all aspects of cataloguing collections for historical societies. \nIn 2024’s first Cataloguing Clinic for the year\, Jillian will talk about collection management\, what you keep or don’t keep\, when you catalogue material as an archive or a collection and any issues around the actual collection. \nJillian has a different topic each month and is happy to be guided by those who attend as to what they would like covered in upcoming clinics.

SUMMARY:Melbourne’s Great Metropolitan Railways
DESCRIPTION:🚇 Melbourne’s Great Metropolitan Railways – With A Nod Over The Border \nA little over one hundred years ago\, Australia’s first electrified suburban railways commenced operations. Melbourne led the way when electric trains ran between Essendon and Sandringham on 28 May 1919. Sydney followed suit seven years later when its first electric train ran between Central and Oatley on 1 March 1926. Within the year\, Sydney’s electric trains also ran into Australia’s first underground railway. \nMelbourne’s Great Metropolitan Railways celebrates the birth and development of Melbourne’s electric railways from the Federation of Australia into the new Millennium\, through good times and bad\, with a nod across the border and elsewhere. It tells how railway electrification was the nation building enterprise of the early 20th Century. It shows how these railways became Melbourne’s public transport backbone. \nBookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.

SUMMARY:BILLIBELLARY INDIGENOUS HISTORY LECTURE. The view from here: thinking about Australian Indigenous histories and their future.
DESCRIPTION:We are honoured that Professor Lynette Russell AM will deliver the 2024 Billibellary Indigenous History Lecture at the RHSV. \nLynette describes the genesis of her lecture\, “Years ago one of my son’s friends assured me that my passion for Australian history was a fool’s errand. ‘Nothing ever happened here\, no wars\, no famines\, no empires\, nothing\, just nothing’. These views he had formed in part at home but also\, notably\, at school. After reviewing the texts they were reading\, I had to concede that Australian history\, as it was being taught\, might well be construed as boring. Even in the late 1990s\, the most popular textbooks were outdated\, divided into a chapter or two on pre-European history\, and then wandered through Cook’s ‘discovery’\, the first fleet\, the rum rebellion\, and the rise of squatters\, bushrangers\, depressions both great and not-so\, Federation\, railways\, wheat\, and wool. There was a clear division between Indigenous and non-Indigenous histories; Australian history was celebrated\, heroic\, masculinist and very\, very white. Indigenous or Aboriginal history was to be covered quickly and contained primarily to pre-European times. Subtly\, things are changing. There is a new generation of school teachers using new resources\, both hard copy and digital. What might we imagine the landscape will look like as we contemplate the future of Indigenous history?” \nProfessor Lynette Russell AM FASSA FAHA (Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor and ARC Kathleen Fitzpatrick Laureate Professor at Monash University’s Indigenous Studies Centre) is an award-winning historian and Indigenous studies scholar. Her research is broadly anthropological history. Russell has published widely in the areas of theory\, Indigenous histories\, post-colonialism and representations of race\, museum studies and popular culture. \nRussell’s Aboriginal ancestors were born on the lands of the Wotjobaluk people\, and she is descended from convicts on the other side of her family; she is rather uniquely placed as an historian. All of her work is deeply interdisciplinary and collaborative. Russell has collaborated with scholars in archaeology\, anthropology and environmental studies\, and worked in various Aboriginal organisations. She holds or has held positions on committees and reference groups pertaining to Melbourne Museum\, the State Library of Victoria and the Collections Council of Australia as well as being a former president of the Australian Historical Association. She is an elected member of AIATSIS and\, in 2023\, she was elected an International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences . She is the only Australian scholar to be elected to both the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Anthropological Institute\, both in London. In addition\, she has held two fellowships at Cambridge University and one at All Souls at Oxford University. Russell believes fervently that every undergraduate should undertake Indigenous studies as an essential part of the curriculum and her passions are community outreach and the dissemination of knowledge\, social justice\, and the Essendon Football Club.

SUMMARY:Box Hill Library - some beginnings.
DESCRIPTION:Prominent literary critic and author Helen Elliott worked in the Box Hill Library from 1964 -19169 when it was a small rectangular building in the middle of Whitehorse road. There were perhaps 20 staff. All female. The Chief Librarian was a man Bert Lewis.\nIn her recent Memoir\, Eleven Letters to You\, Elliott devotes two of the eleven letters to people at the library in those years. Helen Garner called Elliott’s book: “A quietly ecstatic work of memory – intense\, witty\, beautiful.” Biographer Brenda Niall called it “A rare feat of imagination and memory\, Louise Adler called it “deeply evocative\, with the humanity of Facey’s A Fortunate Life\, written on the little piece of ivory favoured by Jane Austen.”.\nElliott has invented a new form of memoir\, full of detailed social history and addressed to people she loved and honoured all those years ago. Box Hill\, over half a century ago was a world now as lost and seemingly as long ago as the Eighteenth Century. .She will speak in detail about those days\, those times\, that other world.

SUMMARY:Eleven Letters To You
DESCRIPTION:Box Hill Historical Society kicks off 2024 with a talk by prominent literary critic\, journalist and author Helen Elliott. Helen spent some time working in the Box Hill Library\, commencing in 1965. She will speak of her memories of Box Hill. Copies of her memoir\, Eleven Letters to You\, will be available for sale at the meeting.\n\n\n\nSunday 18 February 2024 @ 2pm\nBert Lewis Room\, 1st floor\, Box Hill Library\, 1040 Whitehorse Rd\, Box Hill.\nGold coin donation\n\n\n\n“Helen Elliott\, well known as a literary critic and journalist\, grew up in Boronia in the 1950s and 1960s\, a time when it was in transition from countryside to suburbia. Out on the edge of Melbourne and at the very foot of the Dandenongs it was a setting that promised a new post-war life for returned servicemen and their young families as well as migrants. This very different memoir\, styled as 11 letters to the neighbours\, relatives teachers and friends\, brings to life a very different time. Elliott’s recollections are sharp and poignant as she seeks out those parts of her upbringing and education that shaped her at a time of rapid social change.” Review by John Schauble in RHSV’s History News\n\n\n\nHelen’s book was entered in the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards and the Victorian Community History Awards.\n\n\n\nPublished by Text Publishing

SUMMARY:Graeme Davison in Lancefield
DESCRIPTION:A 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. At each step\, we are led to reflect on the puzzles of personal identity and the mystery of time. From the family clans in the Border lands to the industrial cities\, Graeme traces the history of a family through hundreds of years. As he comments\, this type of family history allows us to trace the history of a town\, a city or even a country at the same time. Based on a lifetime of creative scholarship\, My Grandfather’s Clock: Four Centuries of a British-Australian Family\, is a moving testament to the power of family history to illuminate the present. \nThis event will be held at the Lancefield Mechanics’ Institute\, High Street\, Lancefield. Doors open at 1.30 pm and Graeme’s talk will begin at 2.00 pm. Cost for the event is $35.00 which includes country style refreshments including tea and coffee\, local beers and wines.

SUMMARY:CURATOR'S TOUR OF GARRYOWEN'S MELBOURNE WITH DR LIZ RUSHEN
DESCRIPTION:This event is booked out however\, we have scheduled one last Curator’s Tour on 5th March. You can book here \n  \nHistorian Dr Liz Rushen will take you behind the scenes of our current exhibition\, Garryowen’s Melbourne which Liz curated. The exhibition grew out of the research Liz had done for her book\, Garryowen Unmasked: The Life of Edmund Finn\, which was launched earlier this year and was aided by her deep knowledge of the RHSV collection and its treasures. \nThe tour will be followed by afternoon tea.\nEdmund Finn (1819-98)\, Irish immigrant\, journalist\, raconteur and eyewitness to the development of the Port Phillip District\, is best known as ‘Garryowen’\, author of The Chronicles of Early Melbourne 1835-1852. His lively writing\, essential to any appreciation of pre-separation Victoria\, brings to life this often-neglected period and place. Yet little has been written about the man himself\, his actions or attitudes\, or the influences that shaped him. \nFinn’s exposure to troubled times in Ireland during his youth was a major influence on his later politics and world view. Migrating to Melbourne in 1841\, this well-educated man lived for more than fifty years in colonial Melbourne\, passionate about his religion\, actively engaged with his community while never forgetting the home he had left behind. This book explores the life of this talented man and the ways in which he contributed to the creation of a new society in Melbourne through his writing\, his speeches and his leadership of the St Patrick’s Society. \n“An important chronicler of early Melbourne\, the Irish journalist Edmund Finn has been unjustly neglected. A detailed study of his life and work is overdue\, and therefore Dr Rushen’s book is to be welcomed.” Professor Elizabeth Malcolm\, FASSA\, FRHistS\, University of Melbourne

SUMMARY:People Power: Petitions in the National Archives

The National Archives collection includes a wide range of petitions relating to a number of areas for change including land rights for First Australians\, equal voting rights and the internment of enemy aliens. Not all petitions relate to the big issues\, with some asking for intervention on more local or personal issues. \nThose who attend in person can also visit the National Archives’ Disrupt Persist Invent touring exhibition\, which explores the many ways people have achieved social change in Australia. Disrupt Persist Invent is open at the Victorian Archives Centre from 8 December 2023 to 5 April 2024.

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!

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:AHA Inaugural Public Fund Lecture 2023
DESCRIPTION:AHA Inaugural Public Fund Lecture 2023\nWHEN: Tuesday 28 November 2023\, 6.00pm to 8.00pm AEDT\nWHERE: Social Sciences Building (A02)\, Lecture Theatre 200\, University of Sydney\nRSVP: Contact executive@theaha.org.au if you have any questions about this event. \nRichard Glover\, ‘History as Inspiration’\nPositive change\, it sometimes seems\, is almost impossible to achieve. The individual feels powerless when it comes to doing something about climate change\, inequality\, indigenous rights and a million other failings. Yet history – both family history and Australia’s wider story – remind us of how sharply things can change. In this talk\, Richard will describe the strange\, almost unrecognisable\, Australia of the 1960s and 1970s\, and also celebrate the National Library’s Trove website\, and how it has given us all the ability to take an express trip into the past…sometimes with the help of our families. \nAbout Richard\nRichard Glover’s most recent book is Best Wishes\, a book about making the world a better\, less annoying place\, one wish at a time. He is also author of The Land Before Avocado – a journey into the bizarre Australia of the late 60s and early 70s – and the family memoir Flesh Wounds\, which won the Readers’ Choice Award as Biography of the Year in the 2016 Australian Book Industry Awards. Richard’s weekly humour column has been published in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age for over thirty years. He writes regularly for The Washington Post and also presents Thank God It’s Friday on ABC local radio. For more: www.richardglover.com.au

SUMMARY:CURATOR'S TOUR OF GARRYOWEN'S MELBOURNE WITH DR LIZ RUSHEN
DESCRIPTION:THIS SECOND TOUR HAS BOOKED OUT. LIZ WILL GIVE A THIRD CURATOR’S TOUR ON TUESDAY\, 6 FEBRUARY 2024. YOU CAN BOOK TICKETS HERE \nHistorian Dr Liz Rushen will take you behind the scenes of our current exhibition\, Garryowen’s Melbourne which Liz curated. The exhibition grew out of the research Liz had done for her book\, Garryowen Unmasked: The Life of Edmund Finn\, which was launched earlier this year and was aided by her deep knowledge of the RHSV collection and its treasures. \nThe tour will be followed by afternoon tea.\nEdmund Finn (1819-98)\, Irish immigrant\, journalist\, raconteur and eyewitness to the development of the Port Phillip District\, is best known as ‘Garryowen’\, author of The Chronicles of Early Melbourne 1835-1852. His lively writing\, essential to any appreciation of pre-separation Victoria\, brings to life this often-neglected period and place. Yet little has been written about the man himself\, his actions or attitudes\, or the influences that shaped him. \nFinn’s exposure to troubled times in Ireland during his youth was a major influence on his later politics and world view. Migrating to Melbourne in 1841\, this well-educated man lived for more than fifty years in colonial Melbourne\, passionate about his religion\, actively engaged with his community while never forgetting the home he had left behind. This book explores the life of this talented man and the ways in which he contributed to the creation of a new society in Melbourne through his writing\, his speeches and his leadership of the St Patrick’s Society. \n“An important chronicler of early Melbourne\, the Irish journalist Edmund Finn has been unjustly neglected. A detailed study of his life and work is overdue\, and therefore Dr Rushen’s book is to be welcomed.” Professor Elizabeth Malcolm\, FASSA\, FRHistS\, University of Melbourne
