SUMMARY:RHSV AGM + 2025 Weston Bate Oration: Professor Emeritus Graeme Davison
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne from the Air\nFrom the balloon to the drone\, and from the Exhibition Building viewing platform to Skydeck\, Melburnians have thrilled to the spectacle of their city from the sky. They were fascinated by the exploits of hot-air balloonists like the accident-prone Henry L’Estrange. \nWhen they could not actually fly above the city\, artists like Albert Cooke reconstructed it from the ground in the black and white ‘bird’s eye views’ published in popular newspapers. In the twentieth century aerial photographers like Airspy’s Charles Pratt shot the city and suburbs in fine detail\, producing the most comprehensive photographic record of the city’s changing topography. In this lecture Graeme Davison reviews the aerial history of Melbourne and asks: Why does the view of the city from the air so enchant us? And what is the value of the Melbourne’s rich archive of aerial views to the social and local historian? \nGraeme Davison AO is Professor Emeritus at Monash University and one of Australia’s leading historians. He has written widely on Australian urban and cultural history and on the public uses of history. His books include The Rise and Fall of Marvellous Melbourne\, which won the Ernest Scott Prize\, My Grandfather’s Clock\, The Unforgiving Minute: How Australia Learned to Tell the Time\, The Use and Abuse of Australian History\, Car Wars: How the Car Won Our Hearts and Conquered Our Cities\, which won the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for Non-fiction\, University Unlimited: The Monash Story (with Kate Murphy)\, Lost Relations: Fortunes of My Family in Australia’s Golden Age and\, as co-editor\, The Oxford Companion to Australian History. \nThe Weston Bate Oration is one of the RHSV’s Distinguished Lecture Series. \nHousekeeping \nAGM: 5pm – 6.10pm\nBreak: 6.10pm – 6.30pm\nWeston Bate Oration: 6.30pm – 7.30pm \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. \nIf 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. A digital version can be found here. \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: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 (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
