SUMMARY:Hidden Melbourne: A Photographic Story of Melbourne Through the Ages with Barney Meyer
DESCRIPTION:A Photographic Story of Melbourne Through the Ages looks at two major events which took place in the 1800s: The birth of photography and the birth of Melbourne; the most liveable city in the world. One location in Melbourne is most remarkable from the perspective of the history of the city and of image-making technology. This is illustrated by four panoramic views of the city over 176 years\, as captured from the spire of Scots’ Church on the NW corner of Collins and Russell Streets. \nBarney will take you on a Virtual Tour of Melbourne\, starting at the birth of Melbourne with a highly detailed 360° camera lucida view of the town from the top of the new Scot’s Church in 1841. Visit this site again in 1875 to see a 360° photographic view of Melbourne City from the spire through collodion glass plates. In 1963\, the spire suffered severe lightning damage and was lowered 40 feet. In 1989\, it was rebuilt and restored in height\, at which time\, 11 overlapping views of the city were captured from the spire\, forming a 360° panoramic view. In 2017\, a modern 360° view was captured from the spire by Hidden Melbourne using a CMOS sensor. \nWith Virtual Tour technology\, you are able to stand on the spire as if you were virtually there. Barney will demonstrate Time Travel by allowing you to switch between the stages of Melbourne’s development and to see annotated landmarks. By linking old and new views into a timeline\, this journey will tell the story of Melbourne’s growth and transformation as well as the development of image-making technology. \n10:00am Morning Coffee\n10:45am Talk begins \nBookings essential:\nFriends of MGA $10 | $5 talk only\nNon-members $12| $6 talk only

SUMMARY:What the Little Bird didn't tell me
DESCRIPTION:Due to the COVID-19 restrictions we have regretfully decided to postpone this event and our other large events in April. We hope to reschedule later in the year.\nThose who have already booked will receive a full refund.\nTwenty years ago I wrote a book that documented a journey I had been on for over a decade. The book was A Little Bird Told: Family Secrets\, Necessary Lives. This book represented a journey of discovery where I located my Aboriginal ancestors and answered a number of questions that had dogged my family for generations. Along the way\, I discovered a story of secrets and lies\, of madness\, and refuge.  In this talk\, I will reflect on this book nearly 20 years later with a focus on the importance of women as the keepers and tellers of family stories. In so doing I will consider the reasons why I wrote the book\, what impact it had at the time and its ongoing influence. I hope that these reflections might have something to say to other family historians. I want to question whether there are there some family secrets and necessary lies that should never be told? \nProfessor Lynette Russell AM is an award-winning historian and Indigenous studies scholar. In 2020 she is taking up an Australian Research Council’s Laureate Fellowship to examine Global Encounters and First Nations People: 1000 Years of Australian History. \n

SUMMARY:‘Wings of Peace 1920-2020’ Centenary of Australia First Official Air Race\, Serpentine Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Please contact the organiser before attending this event in case it has been cancelled. \nIn 1920 post WWI\, the small village of Serpentine Victoria was selected to be the starting point of Australia’s first government sponsored aerial derby (as racing was often referred during that era). This was the first of numerous events to follow around the nation in the years after WWI. \nThe 1920 event was part of the promotion of the Second Peace Loan to raise funds to pay for the return\, repatriation and care of the many soldiers and nurses to settle them back into community way of life after the Great European War. \nThe 2020 centenary event is of national significance for the benefit of aviators\, airplane enthusiasts\, historians and families who have an interest in airplanes\, our community\, our history. This event will raise awareness that there are still Veterans in need\, as were First World War Veterans who benefited from money raised one hundred years ago. Legacy will be a beneficiary of the efforts of the ‘Wings of Peace 1920 – 2020’ commemoration to aid their continuing support for service men\, women and their families. \nThe Air Race Centenary Committee will bring the roar of planes to Serpentine again to recreate the atmosphere of 1920. Biplane owners and aviators are invited to participate in a 70 mile air race across the region. Heritage/vintage airplanes are also invited to be part of a fly in and/or fly over with an opportunity to be part of a ground based display of airplanes and other modes of 1920’s transport i.e. vintage cars. Paul Bennet Air Shows will bring you an exciting aerobatics display. \nFurther information see Facebook pages: East Loddon Historical Society and Serpentine Air Race. Find all the days scheduled details and tickets on web page: https://serpentineairrace.com.au/ Come celebrate and commemorate the centenary of Australia first official air race Saturday March 21st 2020\, Loddon Valley Highway\, Serpentine\, Victoria.

SUMMARY:Gippsland Workshop 3: SCANNING FOR BEGINNERS
DESCRIPTION:Bookings for this workshop are closed and it has been postponed until some time later in the year.

If you wish to purchase a discounted ticket to all six workshops click here. \nThis workshop is aimed at those who are new to scanning. It will cover some terminology relating to digital images\, and how to prepare documents for scanning before participants scan some documents using flatbed scanners. Participants will compare the document to the digital image and learn basic image manipulation to have the best possible digitised version. Then\, file naming and storage standards will be applied to the digitised documents. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to scan documents confidently. \nThe series of 6 linked workshops (three Saturday morning & afternoons over three months) cover aspects of cataloguing and digitisation. This series of workshops is progressive\, starting with basic concepts and building in complexity. \nParticipants need to bring their own lap-top. \nAll workshops are limited to 20 participants and will be led by Sophie Shilling\, our digital expert.
