SUMMARY:The Teapot in Victoria: Connections in Time
DESCRIPTION:The teabag may be ubiquitous in contemporary life\, but for most of the period from 1840 tea was brewed in a teapot\, or in a billy over the fire. Almost every family owned a teapot\, and often they owned several\, for Victorians were prodigious tea drinkers. So much so\, that in 1883 visiting author Richard Twopeny described tea as the ‘national beverage’. In this lecture Margaret Anderson explores the history of tea drinking in Victoria\, through the lens of the humble teapot. From the solitary ‘cuppa’ to lavish afternoon teas\, Australians celebrated\, consoled\, and forged social connections around the tea table\, in family rituals that reached form one generation to the next.  \nPresented as part of the ‘Belongings: Objects and Family Life’ exhibition program and as part of the Australian Heritage Festival.

SUMMARY:Huntington's Victoria's May Awareness Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Raising awareness for Huntington’s Disease. \nWe are joining hands with Huntington’s Victoria and other Melbourne landmarks to light up blue on May 22nd to raise awareness and support those living with Huntington’s disease. \nHuntington’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterised by the dysfunction and eventual death of brain cells\, resulting in physical\, cognitive\, and psychological impacts. It is caused by an inherited mutation in the huntingtin gene\, with each child of an affected parent having a 50/50 chance of inheriting this mutated gene. While there is currently no cure\, medications and maintaining brain and gut health can help manage symptoms. Huntington’s Victoria is dedicated to supporting each and every person affected by Huntington’s disease. \n#LightItUp4HD \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in blue and purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:Material Histories: Objects at Sea
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! \n\n\n\nObjects at Sea\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuke Keogh: The Wardian Case: Lost at Sea or a Case for Stories?\nIn 1829\, the surgeon and amateur naturalist Nathanial Bagshaw Ward accidentally discovered that plants enclosed in airtight glass cases could survive for long periods without watering. The Wardian case\, as it became known\, revolutionised the movement of plants around the globe. In the cases plants had greater chance of survival when in transit. After the first successful experiment on a journey from London to Sydney and back\, the cases were used for over a century and had a major impact on the distribution of plants around the globe. As a museum object\, the Wardian case is almost lost in collections worldwide\, with only thirteen of these boxes remaining. In this presentation Luke Keogh travels across the oceans with live plants in Wardian cases and delves into the ways to approach the histories of lost museum objects.\nLuke Keogh is a curator and historian. His book The Wardian Case (Chicago\, 2020) won the NSW Premiers General History Prize and was Garden Media Guild’s Book of the Year. He lectures into the museums and history programs at Deakin University. \nDr Peter Hobbins: Pickled and preserved: a brandy bottle\, a drunken sailor and a shipwreck\nWhy would a ship’s captain steer his vessel toward shore on a night that was literally dark and stormy? Did it have anything to do with the 3000 cases of brandy\, spirits and ale in the hold? Indeed\, was Captain Samuel Bache drunk when the barque Queen of Nations grounded just north of Wollongong on 31 May 1881? This presentation focuses on a fragile survivor of that shipwreck – a brandy bottle. What might this vessel and its tempting amber fluid tell us about materiality\, mobility\, consumption\, labour\, economics\, environment\, safety and psychology at a moment of technological transformation in sea travel?\nDr Peter Hobbins leads the curatorial\, library and publications teams at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney. As a curator and historian of science\, technology and medicine\, he focuses on what we can learn about the past when things go wrong\, including snakebite\, pandemics\, aircraft crashes and shipwrecks. \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University.

SUMMARY:‘Good Price\, Reliable Recipes\, Great Photos’
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Women’s Weekly cookbooks and their influence on Australian food culture \nThe Australian Women’s Weekly’s cookbooks were (and still are) remarkably popular. The Weekly\, Australia’s most popular women’s magazine\, started publishing a range of cookbooks from the late 1930s\, but it was during the 1970s when their cookbooks became incredibly popular. Many of the Weekly’s cookbooks\, whether the Children’s Birthday Cake Book or the Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook\, have become ‘bibles’ in the Australian kitchen. This talk will investigate how these books came to be\, why they were so popular\, and how they helped shape Australia’s food culture. \nDr Lauren Samuelsson holds a PhD in history and is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Wollongong\, Australia. Lauren’s research interests include cultural history\, the history of food and drink\, the history of popular culture and gender history. Her PhD thesis considered the influence of the Australian Women’s Weekly magazine and cookbooks on the development of Australian food culture from the 1930s to the 1980s. She has also worked on the social and cultural history of liquor legislation in mid-twentieth century New South Wales.

SUMMARY:World Fragile X Day
DESCRIPTION:World Fragile X Day is 22 July. This day is celebrated in many countries around the world including Australia.\nSince 2016 Fragile X Association of Australia has invited significant landmarks across Australia to illuminate “ORANGE” on this day\, orange being the signature colour for Fragile X in Australia. \nFragile X syndrome is a genetic condition which is the leading cause of inherited intellectual disability. Thousands of families (around 90\,000 Australians) are impacted by Fragile X in some way – as carriers of the gene mutation that causes Fragile X syndrome\, or living with Fragile X syndrome. Fragile X conditions remain\, unfortunately\, frequently under-recognised and often misdiagnosed. Late diagnosis delays the opportunity to put in place the appropriate treatments and care which will secure the best life outcomes for those affected. \nIn supporting Light Up for Fragile X\, regional and metropolitan communities are acknowledging the families and individuals who are living with Fragile X syndrome and actively raising public awareness of this disability. \n#WorldFragileXDay \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in orange for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:Material Histories: Objects of Time
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:\nTurning Over Material Histories of the Sandglass\nwith Matthew Champion\nIn the early fourteenth century\, the sandglass made its debut as the most precise technology of time measurement in Europe to date. Almost immediately its impact was felt: cooks and courtiers\, rabbis and scientists\, accountants and artisans\, began to use sandglasses to time their activities\, their lives\, and to make their livings. Yet for an instrument of such importance\, the sandglass’s origins and its histories remain startlingly unclear. This paper sets out some first thoughts towards a material history of the sandglass and its importance to the history of temporalities. What can we learn from surviving objects and evidence of their use in multiple spaces\, genres\, and media? \nMatthew Champion is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Melbourne. He has published widely in the history of premodern temporalities and materiality\, including his 2017 Chicago monograph The Fullness of Time: Temporalities of the Fifteenth-Century Low Countries\, winner of the 2018 Gladstone Prize from the Royal Historical Society. His articles have appeared in Past & Present\, Speculum\, Sixteenth Century Journal and Transactions of the Royal Historical Society. He is a co-curator of the current exhibition Albrecht Dürer’s Material Renaissance (Arts West Gallery\, University of Melbourne). \nSecond speaker:\nPunctuality and Progress: Reflections on Clocks\, Time and History\nwith Graeme Davison\nProbably no invention has played a more significant part in the making of the modern world than the mechanical clock. I have long loved clocks and watches. I marvel at their intricate workmanship\, their delicate self-regulation and their humanoid qualities. From The Unforgiving Minute: How Australia Learned to tell the Time (1994) to My Grandfather’s Clock (2023) clocks and changing conceptions of measured time have shaped my vision of history as much as any human character. In this talk\, I will reflect on the histories of some clocks I have known either as museum objects\, such as the Powerhouse Museum’s Strasburg Clock\, or personal possessions\, such as my great-grandfather’s long case-clock. What can we learn from the clocks as material objects as distinct from the knowledge of their origins and provenance? Where does the mystique of the antiquarian end and the wisdom of the historian begin? \nGraeme Davison is Emeritus Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor of History at Monash University. He has written widely on Australian history\, heritage and public history where his publications include The Rise and Fall of Marvellous Melbourne\, The Use and Abuse of Australian History\, Car Wars: How the Car Won Our Hearts and Changed our Cities\, City Dreamers: The Urban Imagination in Australia and Lost Relations: Fortunes of My Family in Australia’s Golden Age. He is a former chair of the Heritage Council of Victoria\, an advisor to the National Museum of Australia and co-editor of a history of the Powerhouse Museum. \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University.

SUMMARY:Light it Red for Dyslexia
DESCRIPTION:Ask any dyslexic about their school experience and they will tell you about the gut wrenching fear of receiving back their school work covered in red crosses and comments. When Light it Red started in 2015\, it was about taking back the power of that colour to raise awareness. The colour influenced our name Code Read (pronounced RED) Dyslexia Network. Red is disruptive and cannot be ignored but it also highlights the urgency of the situation. In effect we wanted to say that it is time to stop sweeping this important issue under the carpet and take action. \nCode REaD Dyslexia Network’s annual  ‘Light it Red for Dyslexia’ campaign\, designed to Raise Dyslexia Awareness by lighting significant monuments\, buildings and landmarks RED during Dyslexia Awareness Month each October. \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in red for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:Old clothes and new looks: Lessons from the past
DESCRIPTION:A black papier-mâché sewing box\, now on display in the Old Treasury Building’s ‘Belongings’ exhibition\, would once have been both commonplace in and essential for many homes. This box and others like it – filled with needles and threads\, thimbles and scissors\, ribbons and buttons – helped women to create new looks from old clothes. Conscious of the pressing need in the present for more circular and sustainable fashion\, dress historian Lorinda Cramer explores how sewing boxes were used\, what could be achieved with the tools and materials they held – and\, indeed\, what lessons are offered from the past. \n‘Old Clothes and New Looks: Lessons from the Past’ is presented as part of Melbourne Fashion Week.

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.

SUMMARY:The Fashion Cycle: From Retail to Reuse
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:\nAll the Latest Novelties: Modernity\, Luxury and Consumer Desire in Australia’s Nineteenth-century Arcades with Nicole Davis \nNineteenth-century arcades were marketed as dreamworlds\, where the desire for exclusive or exotic commodities could be indulged. They were curated spaces that aimed to have a specific mix of businesses\, including shops\, that offered diverse experiences and products to the consumer. In Australia\, through advertising\, displays and merchandising\, arcade retailers particularly emphasised goods\, including jewellery\, clothing\, and accessories\, that had connotations of luxury\, modernity\, and cosmopolitanism. These often linked with international locations\, trends\, and fashions\, to demonstrate the Australian colonies as places of progress\, sophistication\, and civility – where fashionable items could be attained just as they might in Britain\, Europe\, or North America. This presentation will look at some of the ways that businessowners created consumer desire for their products\, from the humble to the extraordinary. \nNicole Davis is an urban historian\, working in the museum and heritage sector\, with a particular interest in retail and business histories. Her PhD thesis focused on the social\, economic\, and architectural history of Australia’s nineteenth-century arcades and their place in the contemporary world. Her latest co-authored book is The Story of Melbourne’s Lanes: Essential but Unplanned. \n  \nSecond speaker:\nAlterations as evidence of garment life cycles: wedding dress 1875/1943 \nA wedding dress in the Henty Costume Collection at the Kew Historical Society\, which was made for Alice Henty when she married John Hindson in Melbourne in 1875\, was radically redesigned in 1943 when it was worn by three of her granddaughters at their weddings during WWII. This presentation will discuss the dress and its alterations and how such a well-provenanced item can provide evidence of life cycles of a garment that was treasured and reused across generations. \nDr Laura Jocic is a curator and historian with particular expertise in fashion and textiles. She completed her PhD at the University of Melbourne investigating dress in Australian colonial society and is interested in the materialities of surviving items of dress to elucidate the complex histories of garments and dress practices. \n  \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University. \n‘The Fashion Cycle: From Retail to Reuse’ is presented as part of the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival’s Independent Programme.
