SUMMARY:Colonial Tourism: Objects of Martindale Hall
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\n\n\n\nFirst Speaker:\nSpoils from ‘The Tour of the East’\n \nIn 1930\, the white colonials\, Jack Mortlock\, of Martindale Hall\, near Clare S.A.\, and his younger brother Ranson\, and their manager\, E. E. Scarfe\, made a three month ‘Tour of the East’\, travelling in Java\, Singapore\, Ceylon and India. We have been able to trace their journey\, creating a Time Layered Cultural map (TLC)\, drawing upon the movie they made of the trip\, diaries\, newspaper reports and itineraries. En route they collected souvenirs and artefacts\, which they displayed in Martindale Hall.\nThis paper will examine some of these souvenirs\, such as the Javanese lampshade\, the Sri Lankan masks and the Taj Mahal lamp\, drawing attention to the colonial power relations which pervaded them. \nProfessor Emerita Margaret Allen\, University of Adelaide has researched gendered histories\, and also transnational and postcolonial histories\, focussing upon India-Australia 1880-1940. In the ARC project\, ‘Beyond Empire transnational religious networks & liberal cosmopolitanisms’ she examined the emergence of faith-based cosmopolitanisms in the interstices of multi-faith\, multi-cultural and multi-racial connected webs around India in late colonial period. This paper emerges from ARC project\, ‘Slow digitisation\, community heritage and the objects of Martindale Hall.’ \n  \nSecond Speaker:\nJoe Timbery’s boomerang and the politics of 1938 \nThe Smoking Room at Jack Mortlock’s Martindale Hall\, an Italianate Georgian mansion in the Clare Valley SA\, displays some fifty Australian Aboriginal objects\, including shields\, spear throwers\, clubs and boomerangs. The artefacts and objects in the Hall’s opulent Smoking Room are portals to new stories that take us through\, in Delia Falconer’s words\, the ‘back door of history’. These new ways of looking at Martindale Hall seek to show the hidden material relationships of class and race that underpinned the wealthy lifestyles of its inhabitants.\nOne object is described as ‘an urban boomerang’ and was most likely purchased by Mortlock in Sydney in 1938. This ornately decorated boomerang was made by Joe Timbery a famous boomerang-maker and -thrower from the Aboriginal community of La Perouse\, Sydney. The designs and the object biography of this boomerang opens an unexpected window onto the modern political history of Australia in the twentieth century. \nProfessor Penelope Edmonds is Matthew Flinders Professor\, History\, Flinders University. She researches in 19th century British empire and setter colonialism in the Australian/Pacific region\, transnational and postcolonial histories\, heritage and museums. She brings a critical theory perspective to questions of colonialism\, race\, reconciliation and redress\, humanitarianism\, slavery and unfreedom in the Australian and Western Pacific region. She has broad industry and professional experience in the GLAM sector. On the Board of the Tasmania Museum and Art Gallery\, she was involved with the development and delivery of its landmark apology to Tasmanian Indigenous peoples in 2021. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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:The Constitution\, the Governor and Royal Assent
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: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 for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:Objects of Connection: The Overland Telegraph
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! \nIn 2022\, a virtual exhibition was launched to mark 150 years of the Overland Telegraph Line. A collaboration between Australian Catholic University\, the History Trust of South Australia\, the State Library of South Australia and the South Australian Museum\, the exhibition re-tells the Line’s significance through a more inclusive cultural narrative\, beyond its place in European-centred colonial history. In particular\, it seeks to emphasise First Nations perspectives on the Line’s paths through Aboriginal Country\, and highlights the vital role of other non-European actors in its construction. It reveals the Line’s important transcultural history – both as a tool of colonial expansion and as a complex zone of cross-cultural contact and exchange. The exhibition draws on the collections of three of South Australia’s cultural institutions\, and the re-interpretation of items of material culture is a key aspect of the exhibition’s approach. \n  \nSpeakers: \nMandy Paul is responsible for the management of the South Australian State History Collection. Understanding and sharing complex and contested histories has been a thread running through her career\, informing her work over three decades as a social history curator\, museum director and collections manager\, and as a consultant historian on native title claims. Mandy holds postgraduate qualifications in history and museum studies and has published widely in on Australian social history\, museology\, and native title.  Mandy is also a member of State Records Council and a Visiting Research Fellow in the School of Humanities at the University of Adelaide. \nAmanda Nettelbeck is a Professor of History at the University of Adelaide and the current Australia-Japan Foundation Visiting Professor in Australian Studies at the University of Tokyo (2024-25). Her fields of research include a focus on the application of colonial law to Indigenous people\, including through policing and the courts\, and the history and memory of Australia’s frontier wars. Her last book\, Indigenous Rights and Colonial Subjecthood (Cambridge University Press\, 2019) won the 2020 Australia & New Zealand Law & History Society legal history prize. She is a member of the South Australian Libraries Board\, and is current chair of the Editorial Board for the journal Australian Historical Studies. \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University.

SUMMARY:Earth Hour
DESCRIPTION:Earth Hour has grown to become much more than switching your lights off\, but that iconic switch-off moment is still an important part of Earth Hour. Millions of participants around the world will switch off their lights at 8:30 pm local time on Saturday 22nd March to demonstrate their support of the environment. This action is symbolic and is not an action to save power. We know it will take so much more than an hour of turning our lights out to have a measurable impact on climate change\, but the action helps to bring greater awareness to the issue and demonstrates your commitment to help protect the planet – both during and beyond Earth Hour. \nEarth Hour is at 8:30pm local time Saturday 22 March.  \nOld Treasury Building’s lights will be off all night for this event.

SUMMARY:The White Goods Revolution: How Machines Found a Place in our Homes
DESCRIPTION:Few of us can truly say that we enjoy housework\, despite the plethora of ‘labour-saving devices’ now found in most homes. Imagine then\, a time when almost all domestic tasks relied on muscle power and elbow grease alone. The lucky few employed domestic servants to do this work. (Of course\, the servants weren’t so lucky!) But from 1900 fewer women wanted work as servants and increasingly\, the housewife was left to her own devices. Enter ‘electric servants’— machinery designed to make cooking\, washing and cleaning easier. Although it would take many decades for most households to acquire these machines\, the ‘white goods revolution’ eventually reshaped domestic interiors\, while machines embedded themselves in our lives. Join Margaret Anderson as she reflects on the history of domestic work and considers the rise and rise of domestic appliances. \nPresented as part of the ‘Belongings: Objects and Family Life‘ exhibition on display at the Old Treasury Building until September 2025.

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.

SUMMARY:World Pancreatic Cancer Day
DESCRIPTION:Today we stand alongside the Australian Pancreatic Cancer Alliance and the World Pancreatic Alliance by turning purple for World Pancreatic Cancer Day along with 126 other landmarks in the country to raise awareness and pay tribute to those living with the disease and to honour those who have lost their lives to pancreatic cancer. \nIn 2024\, it is estimated that 3\,902 people will die from pancreatic cancer in Australia. Pancreatic cancer is the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia. \nPatients diagnosed early and in time for surgery are more likely to live five years and beyond. Early diagnosis is vital\, so say “Hello\, Pancreas” and don’t ignore the signs. \n#HelloPancreas #LightItPurple #WorldPancreaticCancerDay #WPCD \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.

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.

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.
