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. 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.
