SUMMARY:Material Histories: Rediscovering ‘Lost’ Objects
DESCRIPTION:The next installment in the seminar series from Deakin University\, Australian Catholic University and Old Treasury! ‘Material Histories’ presents new scholarship from a wide range of speakers\, all united by their passion for objects! \nFirst speaker:\nBatavia and the personification of hope with Corioli Souter\n \nThis cordon pulle\, or jug\, is reconstructed from sherds collected from Batavia (1629)\, which was wrecked inshore from the reef on which it foundered. Decorated with distinctive cobalt blue rings and cordons around the neck\, these large\, spheroid vessels also have an apron of sprigged medallions on their bellies including masks\, rampart unicorns and lions along with the coat of arms of Dutch cities. These reconstructed sherds depict something quite different — the female allegory of Hope — which are reinterpreted with reference to the fragmentary nature of the archive in relation to Dutch women both in Batavia\, on the island of Java\, and aboard the fated vessel of the same name. Judith Gijsbertsz\, daughter of the ship’s predikant\, provides a new perspective to this iconic story. \nCorioli Souter is a curator\, archaeologist\, and head of the Department of Maritime Heritage at the Western Australian Museum (WAM) often working in collaboration with other state\, national\, international museums and collections; tertiary institutions; heritage agencies; community organisations and the private sector. \n  \nSecond speaker:\nTasmanian Aboriginal Kelp Water Containers with Gaye Sculthorpe  \nThis paper will discuss methods of provenance research relating to a long lost rikawa – kelp water container – collected by Bruni d’Entrecasteaux in 1792 – and rediscovered in 2019. It will highlight the importance of research collaboration and community engagement in this work and the issue of making museum documentation records easily accessible. A workshop organised in Paris in 2022 brought together three kelp containers which were studied using different methodologies and the results which have recently been published will be discussed. \nGaye Sculthorpe is a palawa woman from Tasmania\, currently working a Professor of Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies at Deakin University. She has previously worked at Museums Victoria and more recently as Curator\, Oceania\, at the British Museum (2013-2022). She has as strong interest in early collections of Aboriginal materials distributed around the world and is currently working on a project about Aboriginal objects sent to the Great Exhibitions c.1851-1939. \n  \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University.

SUMMARY:Making Public Histories: Histories of Australian Childhood
DESCRIPTION:World Children’s Day\, celebrated on November 20 each year\, offers an opportunity to both look back on the history of childhood and of children’s rights and forward to the ways in which childhood is changing and child rights are contested. \nHow do historians investigate and recover the lives\, experiences and perspectives of children in the past? How have understandings and experiences of Australian childhood changed over time? And how and why have understandings of the rights\, roles and responsibilities of children changed? \nIn this Making Public Histories seminar\, three historians working at the cutting edge of research in this field will discuss histories of children and childhood in Australia. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS:\nDr Isobelle Barrett Meyering is a historian of feminism\, the family and childhood. She is currently a Research Fellow in the Department of History and Archaeology at Macquarie University\, which she joined in 2018 after completing her PhD at UNSW. Isobelle is the author of Feminism and the Making of a Child Rights Revolution 1969-1979 (Melbourne University Press\, 2022)\, and her work has featured in a wide range of Australian history and gender studies journals. She was the David Mitchell Memorial Fellow at the State Library of New South Wales in 2019 and a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University’s Humanities Research Centre in 2022. Isobelle is currently working on a history of children’s rights in modern Australia and\, in December 2024\, she will commence a new project\, ‘Child Citizens: Young People and Australian Democracy since 1945’\, supported by an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. \nCatherine Gay is a historian and curator. She completed her PhD in October 2024 and was a Hansen Trust PhD Scholar in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne. Her doctoral research examined the experiences of Aboriginal and settler girls in nineteenth-century Australia using girl-produced material culture. Her research has won several awards\, including the Australian Historical Association’s 2022 Jill Roe Prize and the 2024 SHAPS Fellow’s Essay Prize. \nDr Emily Gallagher is a historian and research editor at the National Centre of Biography at the Australian National University. Her PhD thesis was a history of the childhood imagination in Australia and won the Australian Historical Association’s Serle Award in 2024. Emily is currently working on a book for La Trobe University Press. \nThe seminar is part of an ongoing series\, Making Public Histories\, that is offered jointly by the Monash University History Program\, the History Council of Victoria and the Old Treasury Building. Each seminar aims to explore issues and approaches in making public histories. The seminars are open\, free of charge\, to anyone interested in the creation and impact of history in contemporary society. \nWe thank the series sponsors\, Monash University Publishing\, the Monash University History Program and the Old Treasury Building.
