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: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:‘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.
