SUMMARY:KALEIDOSCOPE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is biography imagined through the lens of a Kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative. Each time the kaleidoscope turns\, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing\, new reflections\, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all. \nin 2021\, during Women’s History Month we launched the RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary\, an online resource which builds profiles of women who have been involved in the RHSV over its 113 year history. This project is the work of Dr Cheryl Griffin and from this online resource\, Cheryl has curated Kaleidoscope\, launched in March 2022 by Judi Maddigan\, which looks at the lives of 50 of those important women. \nCURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN\nEXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL\nEXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT\nThe exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

SUMMARY:Exploring Burke and Wills - Enigmas and Curiosities
DESCRIPTION:A talk by David Corke for Romsey & Lancefield Districts Historical Society\n \nOn 23 August 1860\, Burke & Wills and their party stayed overnight in Lancefield. \nOn 23 August 2022\, documentarian and historian of this journey\, David Corke\, will talk about his findings and his book\, Exploring Burke and Wills: Enigmas and Curiosities. \nThis book does not tell the story of the Burke and Wills Expedition; instead\, it explores several important issues in the very well-known saga —asking questions and probing some apparent enigmas\, curiosities\, and misunderstandings that have always been part of that tragedy.\nThis promises to be a fascinating afternoon about a much-discussed historical event\, and we are sure Members and Friends will enjoy it. \nCost of the event is $15.00 per person which includes refreshments. \nDavid Corke’s book will be on sale for $35.00. All enquiries to Beth Child on 0418 361 478. \nBook at Trybooking: https://www.trybooking.com/CBIPN

SUMMARY:Hugh Anderson\, historian
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Professor Frank Bongiorno will be delivering the inaugural RHSV Hugh Anderson Lecture\, a new addition to our Distinguished Lecturer series. \n“Hugh Anderson (1927-2017) was a scholar of formidable breadth\, productivity and versatility. While it is as a folklorist that he is arguably best known both in Australia and abroad\, Anderson’s prolific output also included biography\, bibliography\, history\, school textbooks and documentary collections. His range of interests was very wide: Anderson seemed as comfortable in writing about John Pascoe Fawkner as Squizzy Taylor\, as at home with an Aboriginal gumleaf player and a Sydney street poet as with the exquisite verse of John Shaw Neilson or the stately poetry of Bernard O’Dowd. This lecture will consider Anderson specifically as a historian and biographer. While it should not be pigeon-holed\, Anderson’s historical and biographical writing incorporated many of the materials\, perspectives and insights derived from folklore studies\, and he treated literary creativity as central to telling the Melbourne\, Victorian and Australian stories. Anderson’s boundary-riding between history\, biography\, folklore and literature was remarkably productive for him\, and it was not unusual among writers with his radical-nationalist politics in the middle decades of the twentieth century. I argue in this lecture for the significance of Anderson as a historian and biographer working outside academia and across a diverse cultural domain\, at a time when universities were moving toward a sharper focus on specialised research\, theory and discipline-based knowledge – in ways that both deepened and limited understandings of Australian history and culture.” \nFrank Bongiorno is Professor of History at the Australian National University where he was head from July 2018 to June 2021. Born in Nhill\, he grew up in Melbourne and is a graduate of the University of Melbourne and the Australian National University. Frank has been a lecturer at the ANU\, Griffith University\, the University of New England and King’s College London.  He has also been Smuts Visiting Fellow in Commonwealth Studies at the University of Cambridge. The author of The Sex Lives of Australians: A History (2012) and The Eighties: The Decade That Transformed Australia (2015)\, Frank is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia\, the Australian Academy of Humanities and the Royal Historical Society. He is a Member of the Order of Australia. \n \nProfessor Frank Bongiorno AM \nPlease note that when you buy a ticket to this event you will automatically be sent a confirmation email.

SUMMARY:Portable Buildings talk\, briefing & lunch
DESCRIPTION:This briefing session\, talk & lunch is an invitation-only event. Invitations have been sent to all historical societies which have portable buildings in their area. This event is only open to people representing one of the historical societies that have been invited to attend. Please do not RSVP unless you have been invited.\nCharles Sowerwine\,  RHSV Councillor\, Chair of the RHSV Heritage Committee and member of the Portable Buildings World Heritage Nomination Task Force\, invites local historical societies who have portable buildings in their area to become involved in the task force’s campaign to nominate Australia’s unique stock of portable buildings for UNESCO World Heritage status. \nTo qualify for the listing\, nineteenth-century buildings must be portable; that is buildings made in other countries and shipped to Australia for assembly here. \nAt last count\, there are 104 such buildings still standing in Australia\, more than anywhere else in the world. The majority of these buildings – 64 of them – are in Victoria\, in part because the Gold Rush created immense demand for buildings. World heritage listing would not only protect this precious heritage but would also be a boon for tourism. \nThe Hon Barry Jones AC launched the campaign in April 2021. If you’re curious\, read“‘Extraordinary’: Push for 19th century prefabricated buildings to be added to World Heritage List” (The Age\, 15 April 2021). More information is on the web site of the Portable Buildings World Heritage Nomination Task Force (portablebuildingsaustralia.org). (click on either heading above to read more) \nWe’re asking local historical societies to help us gather vital information about buildings in their areas to be included in our submission to UNESCO. To begin the work\, we invite you and all interested parties to a meeting Wednesday 24 August\, from 11am to 2pm\, at the RHSV Drill Hall\, 239 A’Beckett St\, Melbourne 3000 (also via Zoom). The meeting will include an illustrated talk on portable buildings by Professor Miles Lewis\, a general discussion and a light lunch. You will find the draft programme below. \nAt the meeting\, we will explain how to fill in a questionnaire about portable buildings in your area. \nDraft Programme \nBuilding our Case for World Heritage Nomination of Portable Buildings \nDrill Hall\, 239 A’Beckett Street\, Melbourne \nWednesday\, 24 August 2022 \n11am                       Registration and tea/coffee \n11:10am                 Welcome on behalf of the RHSV (Charles Sowerwine\, Chair\, Heritage Committee) \n11:15am                  Welcome on behalf of the Taskforce (Tony Isaacson\, President) \n11:20-12noon        Illustrated talk on Portable Buildings in Victoria by Professor Miles Lewis \n12-12:30pm          Q & A with Taskforce members.

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinics 2022
DESCRIPTION:Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these free cataloguing clinics during the early days of COVID and they suit Zoom very well. The clinics run for an hour from 11am – 12noon on the 4th Thursday of each month. It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which\, as we all know\, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.  With our membership scattered across Australia please remember that this is Melbourne time – AEDT in summer and AEST in winter. \nJillian always prepares some material on some specific queries but questions are encouraged and\, remember\, a problem shared is a problem halved. The clinics are conversational in format rather than a seminar. If you are new to cataloguing\, or an old hand\, you will find plenty to interest you in these sessions. Jillian often has material which is emailed out to attendees after the clinic. \nThe remaining clinics in 2022 will be held (via Zoom) on: \n\n        Aug 25\, 2022 11:00 AM (Helen Stitt will be talking about the naming of scanned images for cataloguing and Jillian will be talking about book cataloguing)\n        Sep 22\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Oct 27\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Nov 24\, 2022 11:00 AM\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85662066892?pwd=L2REVUhtZmtHblM0ZjV0ZDNxN3FkUT09 \nMeeting ID: 856 6206 6892 \nPasscode: 227214 \nAlthough\, we provide the Zoom details above\, please do remember to register otherwise we cannot email you material after the event.
