SUMMARY:Como House of Discovery: Traces of Girlhood
DESCRIPTION:History has left only traces of the experience of girlhood. Yet traces do remain\, poignant and important. They tell the stories of girls and young women who grew up in 19th and early 20th-century Victoria and the central role they played in our society.   \nThis exhibition at Como House in South Yarra will illuminate these traces\, featuring handiwork\, scrapbooks\, writing\, archaeological artefacts and photographs.   \nExploring themes including opportunities and expectations\, work and play\, learning and connections\, Traces of Girlhood brings together the diverse experiences of girls from our past through the things they have left behind.   \nBook tickets for the weekend Open House sessions to view the exhibition at your own pace\, or join a house tour to learn more of the history and stories of Como House & Garden.  \nThis exhibition is generously supported by The Hansen Little Public Humanities Grant\, Faculty of Arts\, University of Melbourne\, and presenting partner Heritage Victoria.

SUMMARY:THE DRIVE-IN LANDSCAPE OF THE LUCKY COUNTRY
DESCRIPTION:The National Archives of Australia (NAA) and RHSV are proud to co-present this event with eminent historian\, Professor Graeme Davison. \nProfessor Davison\, in response to the NAA’s current exhibition\, Reception this way: motels – a sentimental journey with Tim Ross | naa.gov.au \, will discuss the motel which was the most popular of a suite of American-inspired innovations that transformed Australia’s towns and suburbs in the 1950s and 60s: the drive-in cinema\, the service station\, the drive-in bottle shop and hotel\, the carport and the drive-in shopping centre. In his book\, The Australian Ugliness\, architect Robin Boyd decried the excesses of what he dubbed ‘Austerica’ but also hoped to civilise the form. Meanwhile ordinary Australians simply enjoyed the new possibilities of travel\, leisure and convenience that the car and the drive-in world offered. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition\, Reception this way: motels – a sentimental journey with Tim Ross\, which can be seen at the Victorian Archives Centre revisits your memories of the classic Aussie motel\, from family holidays and long road trips to continental breakfasts and mid-century mod-cons. In a land where the car has provided us with the ultimate freedom to hit the road and explore\, it is no surprise that Australians wholeheartedly embraced the American concept of the motel. When motels began springing up in the 1950s\, they represented a new\, stylish and sophisticated way to travel. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you cannot get to the Victorian Archives Centre\, you could visit the on-line curator’s tour: Curator-talk – Reception this way | naa.gov.au This is based on the exhibition when it was in the NAA’s Canberra office. The touring version of the exhibition in Melbourne is a slightly smaller version due to the size of the gallery. \nPhoto caption: ‘The California Motel\, Hawthorn c. 1964. NAA: B942\, HOTELS – MOTELS & RESTAURANTS [3] [id: 30766249]’ \nHousekeeping \nThis is a Zoom only event however you are more than welcome to visit the exhibition at the Victorian Archives Centre\, 99 Shiel St\, North Melbourne (home to both the NAA and PROV). The exhibition can be accessed Monday to Friday 10am to 4:30pm. \nThe ZOOM log-in details will be sent to all attendees 24hrs before the event. \nAn automatically generated confirmation of booking email is sent on booking – please check your Trash or Spam folders if this email does not turn up in your In-Box. \n\n\n\n This is a History Month event (click here for the full program)
