SUMMARY:The Yallourn Briquette Works\, 1925-1971: The Making & Marketing of Bernie's Heat Nuggets with Matthew Churchward
DESCRIPTION:Join Engineering Heritage Victoria and the RHSV at an illustrated talk to mark the centenary of the Yallourn Briquette Works. Achieving its first commercial production in February 1925\, the Yallourn Briquette Works was the third key element of the ambitious state-owned enterprise to harness the immense brown coal resources of the Latrobe Valley. Championed by the Victorian geologist and engineer Hyman Herman\, later remembered as the ‘father of Yallourn’\, and constructed under the leadership of Sir John Monash\, the Yallourn Briquette Works consumed at times up to half the output of the Yallourn Open Cut\, transforming the damp crumbly raw brown coal into hard shiny nuggets of energy that could be readily transported\, stored and burnt. \nComplementing the electricity flowing from the Yallourn Power Station\, the train loads of briquettes dispatched daily from Yallourn filled a thriving demand for industrial and domestic fuel\, helping Victoria to become independent of the vicissitudes of imported black coal supplies. Over half a century the Yallourn Briquette Works played a key role underpinning the State’s industrial and social development. \nOur speaker Matthew Churchward is Senior Curator of Engineering & Transport at Museums Victoria\, which holds examples of the first and last briquettes made at Yallourn and an extensive photographic collection documenting the construction of the Briquette Works. Over the past three decades Matthew Churchward has worked extensively on collections and database development\, public programs\, exhibitions and the creation of websites and online content. His research interests encompass Victoria’s mining\, engineering and transport history including shipping\, railways\, roads\, bridges\, ports\, sewerage\, water and electricity supply.

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. The RHSV does not endorse any particular cataloguing software – we believe it is horses for courses – and Jillian will talk about issues that impact on cataloguing whether you are using cataloguing cards or software. \nThe one-hour clinics are free and the Zoom log-in below is used every month in 2025\, however\, we do ask you to register each month as this enables Jillian to send you extra material / links etc after each session. \n11am (AEDT) Thu 27 Mar 2025 \n11am (AEST) Thu 24 Apr 2025 \n11am (AEST) Thu 29 May 2025 \n11am (AEST) Thu 26 Jun 2025 \n11am (AEST) Thu 31 Jul 2025 \n11am (AEST) Thu 28 Aug 2025 \n11am (AEST) Thu 25 Sep 2025 \n11am (AEDT) Thu 30 Oct 2025 \n11am (AEDT) Thu 27 Nov 2025 \nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.\nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZ0pcOiuqjItH9JWUaZk1ZrdaP1uA9d1Yqc1/ics?icsToken=DESnOhi_USXAWOo5GQAALAAAAOsufSxu9e_o1VvEoUWUiVuOT3wUceY4gYwdUjlaNrGDW1VrT1KjyEhE0aD9QHm4eoEg_M9GmHYiFwIZujAwMDAwMQ&meetingMasterEventId=3FhVroEqTuiqU-ygov-0vg \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89471649756?pwd=Q8GKXnfp3lt6u9ar3tx1YW0HeRmM7V.1 \nMeeting ID: 894 7164 9756\nPasscode: 291255 \nIf joining by phone: \nOne tap mobile\n+61871501149\,\,89471649756#\,\,\,\,*291255# Australia\n+61280156011\,\,89471649756#\,\,\,\,*291255# Australia \n— \nDial by your location\n• +61 8 7150 1149 Australia\n• +61 2 8015 6011 Australia\n• +61 3 7018 2005 Australia\n• +61 7 3185 3730 Australia\n• +61 8 6119 3900 Australia \nMeeting ID: 894 7164 9756\nPasscode: 291255 \nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdoUG5MWlO \n  \n  \n
