SUMMARY:Welcome home for our Terlecki timber piano front
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to celebrate the restoration and reframing of our glorious carved Terlecki timber piano front. \nThis piano front was donated to us by Keith Kilner representing his wider family and the recent restoration was paid for with a donation from the Boak family. We are enormously grateful to both families for their generosity. \nWe’ll be celebrating in style with a sparkling morning tea at the RHSV premises\, 239 A’Beckett St and we’ll be hosting members of both the Kilner and Boak families. \nA tiny bit of background … \nIn 1862 Joseph Kilner (piano maker) and Joseph Wilkie (piano tuner)\, opened a music and piano saloon at 15 Collins Street in Melbourne Australia and in 1863 established a factory at 174 Queen Street to construct pianos. Driven by Kilner\, the firm soon began experimenting with using Australian blackwood and red gum but also managed to incorporate other local timbers including kauri\, myrtle\, sassafras\, Queensland pine and huon pine in their instruments. \nWilkie\, Kilner and Company pianos won major prizes at home and abroad including a silver medal for best entry in its class at the Centennial International Exhibition held in Philadelphia in 1876 for an upright wooden-framed instrument that had a front panel intricately carved with Australian plants and animals\, plus the words ‘Advance Australia’ beneath a rising sun\, – reminiscent of the Rising Sun badge proudly worn by soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Australian Imperial Force in both World Wars (this is ‘our’ piano front). \nThe elaborate front was carved by Polish immigrant\, Felix Terlecki\, who also produced some of the finest ornamental wood-carvings found in Melbourne’s colonial churches\, banks etc \nHOUSEKEEPING \n\nThe Gallery Downstairs where this event will be held is fully accessible.\nThere will be no Zoom for this event.\nPlease RSVP\, although the event is free\, we do need to know numbers for catering and seating.\nWhen you RSVP you will be sent an automatically-generated email of confirmation – if this email doesn’t pop up in your in-box\, please check your Spam or Junk mail folders.\nThose who RSVP do not need to bring a ticket on the day – your names will be at the door.

SUMMARY:Exodus from Vienna
DESCRIPTION:🛄 Exodus from Vienna \nFollowing the 1938 annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany\, many members of Vienna’s vibrant Jewish community sought safe havens overseas to escape growing persecution. Amongst them were Michael and Regine Weiss and their family. Their story\, as told through records held by the National Archives of Australia and other information provided by their descendants\, reveals much about Australia’s attitudes towards Jewish refugees during these dark days. \nPresented by Patrick Ferry\, Assistant State Manager of the Victoria office of the National Archives of Australia. Patrick is an archivist with over 20 years of experience in the field. He is also the author of various local history books and the winner of a Victorian Community History Award in 2020. \nBookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.

SUMMARY:WESTERN TREATMENT PLANT TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee\, and discover the historical and environmental importance of this fascinating site. The Western Treatment Plant was added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 2021\, recognising its historical\, archaeological and technical significance. The historic Western Treatment Plant in Werribee is a world leader in environmentally-friendly sewage treatment\, and one of Victoria’s most unlikely hidden treasures. \nRoughly the size of Phillip Island (covering an area roughly from Avalon Airport to Werribee Open Zoo)\, the vast site is home to more than just sewage treatment facilities – doubling as a working farm and internationally-recognised bird habitat. Here\, agriculture and biodiversity meet resource recovery\, education and ecotourism\, supporting Melbourne’s renowned liveability. \nThe Western Treatment Plant’s variety of natural habitats provide a refuge for wildlife\, including some of the world’s rarest bird and frog species – such as the critically-endangered orange-bellied parrot and growling grass frog. In 1983\, the site was declared an internationally-significant wetland for waterfowl under the Ramsar Convention. More than 300 bird species have been recorded at the plant\, attracted to the water and food in its permanent wetlands\, making it one of Australia’s best places for birdwatching. \nThe Wadawurrung People lived on the land for thousands of years\, making it a place of spiritual importance. The plant was also key to Melbourne’s early development – established in the early 1890s to combat the spread of disease\, as open sewers emptied into rivers and bays. \nOriginally known as the Werribee Sewage Farm\, the site included the township of Cocoroc (meaning ‘frog’)\, which housed sewage farm workers until the 1970s. Parts of it are still standing today\, and now house our operations\, administration and education facilities. \n  \nFollowing the success of our 2023 sold-out tour of Melbourne’s Western Treatment Plant we have organised a 2nd tour in March 2024. We will have a bigger and more comfortable bus this time.\nThis is a really exciting opportunity. \nWe will have two brilliant guides for the day – firstly\, whilst we drive from the RHSV to Cocoroc\, historian Tony Dingle who has researched and written extensively about Melbourne’s water and sewerage will explain the historical importance of this treatment plant and then we’ll pick up a guide at the Treatment Plant to give us the contemporary information. \nTony Dingle teaches Economic History at Monash University. He has researched and published extensively in Australian and British history and his books include Settling\, volume 2 of The Victorians (1984); Aboriginal Economy: Patterns of Experience (1988); and Vital Connections: Melbourne and its Board of Works (1991). \nTuesday 26th of March\, 2024 \n8:30am – 9am      Gather at RHSV\, 239 A’Beckett Street\, Melbourne. Coffee/tea and pastries served.  \n9am                      Bus departs for Cocoroc and the Western Treatment Plant with Tony Dingle as our on-board historian \n10am                    Arrive Cocoroc and pick up treatment plant guide \n12:00noon              Tour finishes and we depart Cocoroc arriving …          \n12:45pm                back at the RHSV \nImportant information \nThe Western Treatment Plant is a working sewage treatment plant. Before and during the treatment process\, sewage contains many micro-organisms\, including bacteria\, viruses and parasites. \nVisitors to tour sites are asked to strictly follow these safety rules while on-site:\n• Wear long pants and a long sleeved top (Not allowed: shorts\, skirts\, open-toed shoes\, high heels or sandals).\n• Wear flat sole\, enclosed shoes at all times – sandals and thongs are not permitted on-site.\n• While on tour\, stay with your tour guide at all times.\n• Refrain from climbing on and/or over railings.\n• Refrain from touching any machinery or equipment.\n• Refrain from running. \nIt is vital that all visitors:\n• Avoid contact with sewage and sewage related products\, while on-site.\n• Wash your hands before leaving the plant or eating.\n• Refrain from eating or drinking during the tour.\n• Wash any contaminated clothing separate to your normal washing.\n• Ensure that any open wounds are covered.\n• Report any minor cuts or abrasions that occur while onsite to Melbourne Water. \n  \nImage Captions \n\nAerobic lagoons\nHeritage-listed water tank at the historic worker township of Cocoroc\n\n(both photos courtesy of Margaret Donnan from our 2023 tour) \n

SUMMARY:2024 McIntyre Lecture
DESCRIPTION:2024 McIntyre Lecture -Kew Historical Society Inc \nFAILED AMBITIONS: A HISTORY OF KEW COTTAGES by Dr Lee-Ann Monk & Dr David Henderson \nOpened in 1887\, Kew Cottages was Australia’s first purpose built institution for people with intellectual disabilities. Contemporaries considered it a ‘distinct advance on anything yet done for the feebleminded children in Australia’. Five decades later the institution had become the subject of almost universal condemnation. In the words of Rohan Rivett\, the cottages had become ‘a hillside of\nsadness’\, where residents eked out a bare existence in an institution which lacked even the most basic amenities. \nThe lecture by Lee-Ann Monk and David Henderson follows the release of their groundbreaking history of the Kew Cottages in 2023. \nWednesday 13 March\,7.30 for 8.00pm\nJust Theatre\, Kew Court House\n188 High Street\, Kew VIC 3101 \nTICKETS\nIn person lecture\, with refreshments $20.\nTickets at door\, online at www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/events/ \nor by phone 9278 4770 \n  \n

SUMMARY:History Matters Series: Women of Ballarat 1838-1851
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year’s International Women’s Day as Sovereign Hill Museums Association explores this year’s theme\, Count Her In\, and look to the past to explore pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere. \nWhen gold was discovered in Victoria in 1851 women flocked to the Ballarat goldfields to try their hands at a new life and to find prosperity. But women had been part of the Ballarat region for much longer\, First Nations women for generations. PhD candidate Sharni Brownbridge will share with us the stories of some the women living in the Ballarat area from 1838 and in the first wild days after gold discovery and show how they acted as key members of these societies\, acting as farm workers\, gold fossickers\, business owners and creators of social connection.

SUMMARY:Tour of Historical Trades Hall followed by more labour history in the Curtin Hotel
DESCRIPTION:In 2023 we organised a tour of Trades Hall and everyone on the tour said it was exceptional and that Antony Moore\, the guide\, was worth bottling. \nSo\, in 2024\, we’ll be hosting another tour with Antony but with a great addition.  From 2pm – 3:30pm you’ll be touring Trades Hall with Antony and then we’ll skip over the road to the Curtin Hotel where so much labour history played out and\, over a drink\, David Cragg\, will enlighten us with this additional labour history. \nOur Heritage Committee\, under Charles Sowerwine\, successfully lobbied to save this historic pub from the threat of redevelopment. There was a great upswelling of community concern\, opposition from heritage organisations and concerted trade union action which culminated in a 10-year contract for the management of the John Curtin Hotel so it will continue as a pub and music venue. \nDuring those lost COVID years the Victorian Trades Hall underwent a massive renovation which focused on not just the building but the vital cultural heritage that lives within its walls. Photos and text courtesy of architects\, Lovell Chen’s\, website: “The Trades Hall\, on the corner of Victoria and Lygon streets in Melbourne\, is one of the world’s oldest trade union buildings. It has been the home of trade unionism in the state of Victoria since 1874\, and is associated with the history of the Australian Labor Party and with events significant to the whole country. In 2016\, we completed a condition survey and Conservation Management Plan\, considering the whole of the much-expanded complex. A grant application for state funding through the Living Heritage Program was successfully made for implementation of conservation and refurbishment works to key public spaces\, the portico and the roof. The Victorian Trades Hall Council also funded works from its own resources (and individual union contributions)\, which were carried out at the same time. \n“The Trades Hall was constructed in ten stages\, the most significant of which occurred between 1876 and 1925. It is principally recognisable for its imposing two-storey Classical/Renaissance Revival facade\, which has been extended relatively consistently as each new wing has been added. The earliest section (1874) is at the southern end of the site\, directly behind the present Victoria Street entry building (1925). The original architects were Joseph Reed (1822-1890) and Frederick Barnes (c.1823-1883)\, of Reed and Barnes\, designers of much of Melbourne’s grand 19th century architectural heritage\, including the Royal Exhibition Building. \n“Stage 1 of the project was completed in 2019. Stage 2 in 2022. Stage 3 has commenced. \n“Victorian Architecture Award 2020 : Heritage Architecture – conservation\nProperty Council of Australia : Innovation & Excellence Awards 2022 : Best Heritage Development (Stages 1+ 2)” \n\nYour guide will be Antony Moore who is a long-time union official with the Vehicle Division of the AMWU. Unfortunately\, with the closing of Australia’s car manufacturing plants\, Antony no longer had a role\, however\, for the past 6 years\, from the very start\, he has been heavily involved in the renovations at Trades Hall – working alongside archaeologists\, conservators and many other experts who have ensured that this important building and its cultural heritage are preserved. Antony is a passionate amateur historian and advocate for the building and its cultural heritage. \n\nAnd our second guide for the Curtin Hotel is David Cragg\, Labour History Melbourne Vice President\, former Trades Hall Assistant Secretary\, a Life Member of the ALP\, a Trustee of the Victorian Trades Hall & Literary Institute and all-round labour history raconteur. \nYour ticket money will be donated to the Victorian Trades Hall for their work on stage 3 of the renovation. \nYou will be sent an automatic confirmation email once you book – if this doesn’t appear in your in-box please check your Spam Mail or Junk Mail folders as automatically-generated emails often go astray. \n\nBecause this tour is limited to 20 persons we do limit it to RHSV financial members only. Please be aware that tour participants will be walking up and down flights of stairs – it is not a fully accessible tour. Ticket price includes a drink at the Curtin Hotel.

SUMMARY:CURATOR'S TOUR OF GARRYOWEN'S MELBOURNE WITH DR LIZ RUSHEN
DESCRIPTION:Historian 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 \n

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:Book Launch: The Goldfields Re-Imagined by Marjorie Theobald

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. Bring your questions (no matter the topic) – this is an interactive space where questions are encouraged.

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
