SUMMARY:Curator's talk: Yarra Birrarung Artists\, Writers and the River exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join the curator\, Dr Judith Buckrich\, of our current exhibition Yarra Birrarung: Artists\, Writers and the River in a behind-the-scenes talk about the exhibition. \nThe exhibition is an illustrated history of life on the Yarra. Through the lens of artists and writers\, the exhibition explores how life has flourished on the river\, including recreation\, industry and land use\, as well as infrastructure\, natural history and social history. \nDespite much despoiling\, our river remains the vital artery of the city and beyond to the Yarra Ranges. Just as it was the fulcrum of Wurundjeri life\, it continues to inspire and fulfil our lives. From the Heidelberg School to the MCG\, the river has been a centre of Australian arts and culture for decades. \nJudith Buckrich has published a book\, of the same name\, which is the first comprehensive illustrated history of the Yarra Birrarung from before European settlement to the present day\, a 200 year story\, examined through the lives of its creatives. \nDr Judith Buckrich was born in Budapest\, Hungary in 1950 and emigrated to Melbourne in 1958. She has several entries in the Encyclopedia of Melbourne and Remembering Melbourne 1850–1960. Her book The Village of Ripponlea won a Victorian Community History Award in 2016 and Acland Street: the Grand Lady of St Kilda won the 2018 Fellowship of Australian Writers (VIC) Award for non-fiction. She has also published with Melbourne Books before\, releasing The Long and Perilous Journey: A History of Port Melbourne in 2002. At present\, she is working on an illustrated history of Fitzroy North. \nJudith has written her own one-woman shows\, short stories\, feature articles and essays and worked as a curator\, editor and translator. She was Chair of the PEN International Women Writers’ Committee from 2003 to 2009 and President of the Melbourne PEN Centre from 1993 to 2005. She is a past President of the Prahran Mechanics Institute Victorian History Library. \nHousekeeping \nThis free event is in person only (no Zoom). Morning tea is served before the event. \n\n\n\n\n\nYou will be sent a confirmation email on booking.

SUMMARY:CATALOGUING CLINICS 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, each month in this informative and easy-going Zoom forum on all aspects of cataloguing collections for historical societies. \nJillian has a different topic each month and is happy to be guided by those who attend as to what they would like covered in upcoming clinics. Bring your questions (no matter the topic) – this is an interactive space where questions are encouraged.
