SUMMARY:Material Histories: Belief\, Magic and the Supernatural: the Power of Objects
DESCRIPTION:We live surrounded by material things. Some are mundane and utilitarian\, others exotic objects of desire\, but all our belongings have something to say about who we are and how we live. Objects reflect both culture and history. Individually and collectively\, they shape our lives\, link us to others and connect us to the past. Yet objects are often strangely absent from accounts of past lives. This seminar series aims to unpack some of the stories that objects can tell about the present and about the past.  We also hope to provide a forum for discussion for those of us interested in material histories. We aim to cast the net widely\, with no limitations on either time or space. \n  \nFirst speaker: \nA Boot in the Wall: Folk Magic in Gold-Rush Victoria? \nThis talk starts with a single\, mud-caked leather boot found sealed inside a small compartment in a Ballarat building and asks why anyone would hide footwear in a wall. Drawing on the Australian Magic Research Project’s fieldwork in Victoria\, I explore concealed shoes as protective charms\, links to British and European folk belief\, and what these quiet acts of “everyday magic” reveal about anxiety\, migration and community life in nineteenth-century Australia. \nDr David Waldron is Associate Professor of History at Federation University Australia. His research focuses on folklore\, local history and community heritage. His works include Sign of the Witch\, Snarls from the Tea-Tree and Aradale: The Making of a Haunted Asylum\, and the award-winning podcast Tales from Rat City. \n  \nSecond speaker: \nRuma Besar (The Big House): Encountering the Supernatural in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands \nThis paper focuses on Oceania House\, a colonial-era mansion located in the Australian Indian Ocean Territory of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Now privately owned\, it was formerly home to the Clunies Ross family\, who operated a coconut plantation using the labour of “Malay” indentured workers until the islands’ integration with Australia in 1984. Known locally as Ruma Besar or “the Big House\,” it is believed by the local Cocos Malays to be a site of supernatural activity following the departure of its original owners. This research situates these beliefs within the broader Malay-Muslim context and considers what they reveal about tensions between official heritage narratives and local understandings of the past. In doing so\, it examines how supernatural beliefs provide a means of engaging with difficult histories and heritage and its impact on the present day lives of the community. \nMelathi Saldin is a Lecturer in Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies at Deakin University. An archaeologist and critical heritage scholar\, Melathi’s research looks at the relationship between difficult heritage\, local communities and cultural resilience. She is an International Member of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and Co-Chair of the Sri Lanka ICOMOS National Scientific Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage. She is co-editor of the Routledge Handbook of Heritage Destruction (2023). \n  \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University.

SUMMARY:World NF Awareness Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Each year hundreds of world-famous buildings\, bridges\, and architectural icons participate in the Shine a Light on NF campaign\, showing their support in the global fight against NF by lighting up in blue and green\, the official colors of the NF cause. \nNF refers to a group of genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. NF includes neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and all types of schwannomatosis (SWN)\, including NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN)\, formerly known as neurofibromatosis type 2\, or NF2. NF impacts everyone differently and may lead to blindness\, deafness\, bone abnormalities\, disfigurement\, learning challenges\, disabling pain\, or cancer. \nLaunched by the Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) in 2014 to increase public awareness of NF\, the Shine a Light on NF campaign has grown substantially over the years.\nShine a Light on NF is a global campaign! \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in blue and green for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:The Constitution\, the Governor and Royal Assent (Law Week 2026)
DESCRIPTION:They say if you don’t remember your past\, you are doomed to repeat it. But how much to we remember about our past? And is it still relevant? \nThe Australian Constitution was drafted about 130 years ago. There have been eight amendments to it since\, the last one in 1977. It rules many parts of the way we are governed. But what is included? And crucially\, what is excluded? \nThe roles of Governor-General and state Governor are enshrined in that Constitution. They are the final word on whether a law is legal! The Governor of Victoria and the Executive Council have met in the Old Treasury Building for over 160 years! The Governor-General and the federal Executive Council also met in the building for a time after Federation. Every law passed in Victoria since 1862 has become an Act in the Old Treasury Building with the granting of Royal Assent. This crucial last step cannot occur without it. On this tour you will visit that room\, still in use today\, and discuss the role of the Old Treasury Building in our democratic past\, present and future. \nIn this special presentation of our regular public tour\, presented as part of Victoria’s Law Week\, discover the Constitution\, the Governor and Royal Assent\, but also the way in which ‘direct democracy’ can influence law makers.

SUMMARY:Lipoedema Awareness Month 2026
DESCRIPTION:June is Lipoedema awareness month\, and currently 11% to 19% of the female population have it.

As a registered charity\, we are committed to directing and supporting research and medical recognition of lipoedema\, developing a comprehensive treatment/management plan and ultimately finding a cure. We are also dedicated to improving the lives of individuals affected by lipoedema. \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD)
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations General Assembly\, in its resolution 66/127\, designated 15 June as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD).\nWEAAD is celebrated each year\, globally\, providing an opportunity for communities to stand together against the abuse\, mistreatment and neglect of older people. \nElder abuse comes in many forms. It can be financial\, emotional\, psychological\, physical\, sexual\, or social. Elder abuse can occur once\, or many times and can vary in severity from subtle through to extreme. It can include one or a combination of the different types of abuse.\nMost often\, elder abuse is carried out by someone known to the older person\, with two thirds of abusers being an adult child. Abusers can also be other family members\, relatives\, or friends.\nElder abuse affects people of all genders and all walks of life. The abuse\, however\, disproportionately affects women – two-thirds of people seeking help from SRV are women.\nCulturally and Linguistically Diverse communities\, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and LGBTQI+ communities are additionally vulnerable\, as are older people living in rural and regional communities. \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:World Sickle Cell Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:World Sickle Cell Day 2026 is observed on June 19 to raise global awareness about Sickle Cell Disease and support affected individuals and families. The day was officially recognised by the United Nations in 2008 to highlight SCD as a global public health concern and to encourage early diagnosis\, better treatment\, and ongoing research. \nSCD is a hereditary blood disorder that affects hemoglobin in red blood cells\, causing them to take on a crescent or sickle shape. These abnormal cells can block blood flow\, leading to severe pain\, anaemia\, organ damage\, and increased risk of infections. Early diagnosis\, access to quality healthcare\, and community awareness are essential for improving health outcomes and quality of life for those living with the condition. \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in red for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:Making Public Histories: Why Republics Die
DESCRIPTION:Threats to democratic and republican regimes in the contemporary world have caused historians to reflect on how they fail. Are they vulnerable to authoritarian and military threats\, or are they victims of their own shortcomings? Three historians of very different periods in world history join with host Peter McPhee to discuss this fundamental issue. \nHost:\nProfessor Peter McPhee is the Chair of the History Council of Victoria. He was appointed to a Personal Chair in History at the University of Melbourne in 1993. He was Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and then the University’s first Provost in 2007-09. He is now an Emeritus Professor. He has published widely on the history of France since 1770\, most recently Robespierre: a Revolutionary Life (2012); Liberty or Death: the French Revolution (2016); and An Environmental History of France: Making the Landscape 1770-2020 (2024). \nOur speakers:\nFrederik Vervaet – Reform Unwillingness and the Death of the Roman Republic\nFrederik Vervaet (PhD Ghent\, Flanders) is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Melbourne where he specializes in Roman sociopolitical and institutional history and its ceaseless relevance to our modern era. He is one of the editors of the collection\, How Republics Die: Creeping Authoritarianism in Ancient Rome and Beyond. \nDr Ángel Alcalde – Fascism and the Destruction of European Democracies in the 1930s\nDr Ángel Alcalde is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Melbourne. His recently completed book The Global Rise of Fascism is under contract with Cambridge University Press. \nDr Julia Bowes – Make America Great Again? A Historical Perspective on the Right and the Decline of Democracy in the United States\nDr Julia Bowes is a Lecturer in Gender History at the University of Melbourne. Her first book\, Every Man’s Home A Castle: Parental Rights and the Makings of Modern Conservatism\, will appear with Princeton University Press this April. \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.
