SUMMARY:Gotcha! Concrete Prints from the McEwans Celebrity Pavement
DESCRIPTION:Who remembers the McEwans celebrity pavement? \nBetween 1972 and 1994\, scores of celebrities had their hand- and footprints immortalised in cement at the entrance of the McEwans hardware store in Bourke Street. Shopping for a hammer or a hair-dryer\, you’d step in the prints of actors\, musicians\, sportspeople\, writers\, dancers\, politicians\, an astronaut\, a racehorse – even an operatic dog. \nCurated by Robyn Annear\, ‘Gotcha!’ presents 40 of the surviving prints from the McEwans pavement\, together with stories of the celebrities who made them and newspaper images that capture the mood of the times. \nNote: enter City Gallery via Customer Relations\nMonday to Friday: 9am to 5pm

SUMMARY:RHSV AGM + 2024 Weston Bate Oration: Dr Fiona Gatt
DESCRIPTION:The forgotten class? Shopkeepers of nineteenth-century Melbourne\nShopkeepers played a vital role in the functioning of nineteenth-century Melbourne society. They owned the businesses where residents obtained goods\, from basic daily needs to the flights and fancies of an emerging modern consumer culture. Echoes of their presence live on in the shopfronts and main shopping streets. This lecture investigates and compares the shopkeepers who operated in three distinct\, representative suburbs of nineteenth-century Melbourne: genteel Malvern\, inner urban North Melbourne and industrial Footscray. In doing so it provides a genuine comparative cross-section of the urban retail trade in this period and reveals the subtle differences between these localities in terms of the prestige and identity ascribed to shopkeepers within the socio-economic fabric of these local societies. Yet across all three towns (or suburbs)\, shopkeepers held an important and unique role\, one that cannot be understood through the same lens as the working class or middle class. \nDr Fiona Gatt is a professional historian who works on commissioned histories for clients such as the National Trust of Australia (Victoria). She teaches history at La Trobe and Deakin universities and undertakes research for history projects at universities across Australia. Her particular areas of interest include urban history\, class\, migration\, housing and First Nations history. Her work has been published in History Australia\, Postcolonial Studies\, the Victorian Historical Journal\, and shortlisted for the Victorian Community History Awards. The 2024 Weston Bate Oration will present Fiona’s research findings as Historian in Residence at the Royal Historical Society of Victoria 2023–2024. \nThe Weston Bate Oration is one of the RHSV’s Distinguished Lecture Series. \nHousekeeping \nThe Weston Bate Oration follows the RHSV’s Annual General Meeting. The AGM runs from 5pm until about 6:10pm when we have a short break before resuming for the Oration at 6:30pm. Refreshments will be served in that break. If you wish to attend the Oration only then there is no need to arrive at the Drill Hall until\, say\, 6:15pm for 6:30pm. \nBoth the AGM and the Oration are hybrid and will be available on ZOOM for those who cannot attend in person at the Drill Hall. The same ZOOM log-in will apply to both the AGM and the Oration and those log-in details will be sent to those who RSVP 24 hours before the event. You just need to log-in when you are able to join the meeting/oration. \nThere is the opportunity below to record your apologies if you cannot attend the AGM in person or via ZOOM. \nMembers will be sent the papers for the AGM 14 days prior to the AGM. \nNon-members are more than welcome to attend the AGM – we just ask members to identify themselves when RSVPing as it makes it easier for us to count votes etc

SUMMARY:Making Public Histories: Energy Transitions: Historicising Australia's Nuclear Debate – 5pm (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Australia is in the midst of an energy transition\, but specific policies and decisions around the shift to more renewable forms of energy production\, storage and use have become the subject of heated debate. Historians have an important role to play in this debate\, shedding light on the historical factors that shape ideas and attitudes in the present. How have Australians thought about nuclear energy\, and the extractive processes that underpin it\, over the last seventy years? What cultural attitudes have developed around coal and coal mining in Australia\, and how do they shape attitudes and policy today? And how have we transitioned between energy regimes in the past? \nIn this seminar\, three leading scholars consider how Australia’s past shapes debates about the nation’s contested energy transition today. \nSpeakers: \nAssoc. Prof. Nancy Cushing (University of Newcastle) \nDr Jessica Urwin (La Trobe University/Australian National University) \nDr Matthew Ryan (The Australia Institute) \nThis event will be chaired by Rohan Howitt of Monash University. \nWe thank the series sponsors\, Monash University Publishing\, the Monash University History Program and the Old Treasury Building. \nBookings:  https://www.historycouncilvic.org.au/australia_s_nuclear_debate_mph\nWe will be live tweeting the event from our Twitter/X account @History_Vic with the hashtag #MakingPublicHistories
