SUMMARY:The Great Orange Peel Panic: and other stories from Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:🍊 The Great Orange Peel Panic: and other stories from Melbourne \nDid you know around the 1860’s civic reprobates who discarded orange peel in the streets of Melbourne\, risked life and limb? Apparently new flagstone paving stones\, combined with discarded orange peels\, were a serious hazard. Oranges were a popular snack at the time and peel littered the pavements\, with women blamed by the newspapers as the ‘chief strewers of peel’. \nJoin us as Robyn Annear talks about this story and more from her new book Corners of Melbourne. Robyn is an author who…’tackles her sprawling subject matter with her trademark wit and her knack for singling out the perfect historical reference.’ Age \nThis is a joint event with Family History Connections. Bookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.

SUMMARY:Out of the Straight-Jacket: the art of anti-colonial history
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSIONAL HISTORIANS AUSTRALIA PROUDLY INVITES YOU TO THE 2024 WILSON HISTORY ORATION\nOut of the Straight-Jacket: the art of anti-colonial history\nAn oration by Dr Rachel Buchanan \nFrom swamp to chateau to the House of Lords\, as Dr Rachel Buchanan researched the wild\, globetrotting journey of five magnificent 17th century carvings made by ancestors in Taranaki\, she also received an education in the art of anti-colonial history. Through wānanga and discussions with the Hon. Mahara Okeroa and other mentors\, Rachel learned how to escape the straight-jacket of historical facts and write a story that is closer to the truth of ongoing tino rangatiratanga – or sovereignty – for Taranaki. \nAbout Rachel:\nDr Rachel Buchanan (Taranaki\, Te Ātiawa) is a Māori historian who is a manuhiri (guest) on Bunurong land in Naarm-Melbourne. Rachel’s most recent book\, Te Motunui Epa\, was a co-winner of the 2023 Ernest Scott Prize for History for distinguished historical writing that contributes to the history of Australia or New Zealand\, and the 2023 W H Oliver Prize for the best book on any aspect of New Zealand history. \nAbout the Wilson History Oration:\nThe Wilson History Oration was established in memory of Dr Bill Wilson OAM (1942-2021). After retiring from a career in law enforcement\, Bill forged a new career as a historian with an unwavering commitment to the PHA. Every year\, PHA invite an eminent historian in their field to present the Wilson History Oration to PHA members across Australia. \nDate: Thursday 13 June 2024\,\nTime: 6pm-7pm\,\nWhere: online\nThis event is free to all.
