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:What Ship Did You Come Out On?
DESCRIPTION:Discover the history of ships in Port Melbourne with local author Nick Cree.          \nNick Cree will be speaking about the ships that came through Port Melbourne in the 50’s and 60’s\, and the myriad of personal stories of the people who embarked in Melbourne. Do you have a personal association with one of those ships?  \nThis event is part of the exhibition Remarkable: stories of Australians and their boats. \nAustralia’s history is full of maritime-related stories. With over 1\,000 rivers and a coast that stretches for more than 36\,000 kilometres\, it is no surprise that Australia abounds with stories of people who have lived and worked on the water. This exhibition presents some of those stories\, exploring the remarkable connections between people and their boats.  \nThe exhibition will be at the following libraries: \nEltham Library – 14 November 2022 to 14 December 2022 \nLalor Library – 19 December 2022 to 29 January 2023 \nWatsonia Library – 12 December 2022 to 29 January 2022 \nInage: Pixabay \nPresented by Yarra Plenty Regional Library

SUMMARY:What is a Drill Hall?
DESCRIPTION:Recently the RHSV took part in Open House Melbourne which concentrated our minds on the history and architecture of our home\, the Australian Army Medical Corps Drill Hall which was built\, like so many others in 1938 in the build-up to WWII. The building’s history\, its original purpose and its architecture are inextricably linked.  And who better to explain those connections than Mike O’Brien? Mike will be addressing Drill Halls in general – what is drill? what happens in drill halls? \nMike is a committed community activist and a believer in a fair go. He is an experienced manager and company director\, has run an iconic Melbourne antiquarian bookstore for 17 years and is an advocate for small business as the main engine that drives our economy. He had an extensive military career but balanced it with directorships of a listed company and a non-bank financial institution. He has tertiary qualifications in Science and Management. He has lectured around the world on cruise ships for 10 years gaining an enviable number of days at sea\, an excellent remedy for a former Infantryman. He writes local history and believes our built heritage should be highly valued. \nThis lecture will be live at the RHSV and also offered on ZOOM. \nCome along and enjoy some Christmas cheer as this is our last in person event for the year. Like all RHSV lectures we will have refreshments (with a Christmas theme) from 5:30pm until 6pm when the lecture will commence. The Zoom audience will log-in at 6pm.

SUMMARY:Talk – Ornamental Cast Iron Lace
DESCRIPTION:Hotham History Project invites you to a talk on Ornamental Cast Iron Lace – by Robin Vowels. \nIn the 1860s and 70s one of Hotham’s mayors\, William Hutchison\, operated a foundry in Little Bourke Street where he made some of the ornamental iron lace that still graces houses around North and West Melbourne today. \nAlthough he was well known at the time Hutchison’s work does not carry a maker’s name so Robin Vowels from RMIT decided to work out (if he could) which pieces were from Hutchison’s foundry. \nCome and hear what clues he used and what he found out.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH & FILM SCREENING BALLARAT
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a premiere film screening\, book launch\, digital map debut and panel discussion about a surprising and forgotten aspect of Australian history – the enthralling history of the rescues of thousands of colonists by Aboriginal people from life-threatening situations such as bush fires\, floods\, shipwrecks and being lost in the bush. \nAward-winning author Associate Professor (Dr) Fred Cahir discusses his latest book They Rescued Us! Aboriginal Heroes on Country with filmmakers Lucinda Horrocks and Jary Nemo of Wind & Sky Productions\, whose new film Acts of Heroism will be screened on the day. \nThis short film is a companion to a web-based education portal Aboriginal Heroes of Fire\, Food and Flood which spatially maps locations and documented instances of Aboriginal heroism to do with fire\, flood and food in Victoria and Southeastern Australia from the 1800s to the 1930s. \nProfessor Andrew Gunstone\, the inaugural Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor Reconciliation at Federation University will contribute to the discussion which will be moderated by Lucy Bracey from Way Back When\, a group of professional historians who work with communities to tell their stories. The afternoon will include a performance by First Nations composer and singer Deb Lowah Clark. \nThis event complements the Gallery exhibition Beating About The Bush in its critical questioning of the stories Australians have been told about the bush and who it is that Australians regard as pioneers and heroes. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing at the launch. \nThey Rescued Us! Aboriginal Heroes on Country is published by Ballarat Heritage Services. Acts of Heroism was funded by the Telematics Trust and is a collaboration between Federation University historians\, the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation (CeRDI) at Federation University and Wind & Sky Productions. The film was produced in Ballarat\, in regional Victoria\, on Wadawurrung Country. \nAge: All ages \nTickets: Free entry but bookings are essential as numbers are strictly limited

SUMMARY:Bass Valley Historical Society talk on Euphemia Henderson\, wildflower artist and botanist
DESCRIPTION:Bass Valley Historical Society Afternoon Tea meeting on Sunday\, December 4 2022 at 2.00pm. Guest speaker is Maureen Matthews on Euphemia Henderson (1822-1907)\, wildflower artist and botanist. \nWhere: Corinella Public Hall\, Smythe Street.  Cost: $10. Please bring a plate. \nRSVP – Libby Skidmore – 5678 0339 or eskidmore@dcsi.net.au \nEuphemia was briefly engaged to Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller (1825-1896)\, and worked with him on Phillip Island. In 1863\, Ferdinand von Mueller\, the director of Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens\, fell deeply in love with Euphemia\, and proposed marriage to her. The distinguished botanist and the talented Scottish girl who loved studying and sketching plants seemed made for each other. She saved his letters to her and we read his salutation\, ”Beloved bride.” They read the poetry of Lord Byron together on Phillip Island. Mueller referred to her proudly as ”my fiancee\, a greatly talented and enlightened Scottish lady”. \n\n\n\nThen their relationship fell apart. In April 1863\, he was writing to ”my beloved” but by August the same year his letter began coldly\, ”My dear Miss Henderson”\, and he was attempting to explain why he had broken off the engagement. Was it his health problems or did he become aware that Henderson was too old to bear children? \n\n\n\n\nNeither of them ever married but Mueller had several other romances. After the end of their brief affair\, they continued writing occasional letters to each other.  Henderson’s paintings reveal her artistic and scientific talents. Maxwell & Williams\, in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens\, has produced a beautiful collection of crockery showcasing Euphemia’s work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
