SUMMARY:RAHS Day Lecture - The Tasman Map: The Biography of a Map
DESCRIPTION:Every visitor who passes through the vestibule of the Mitchell Library stops to admire the magnificent marble mosaic of the Tasman Map. Over a period of only forty years from 1606 to 1644 and based on sixteen separate discoveries\, the first map of Australia took shape and was not to change for another 125 years until the British explorer James Cook charted the east coast in 1770. The story of these voyages of discovery and how the Mitchell Library managed to acquire this cartographic treasure will bring new recognition to an icon of both Dutch and Australian history. \nAbout the speaker: Ian Burnet has a B.Sc. degree in Geology and Geophysics from the University of Melbourne. He is the author of four books on Maritime History including Spice Islands and East Indies\, which concerns the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the history of the spice trade from Eastern Indonesia. In his latest book\, The Tasman Map – The Biography of a Map\, Ian uses his knowledge of this history to put the early Dutch exploration of Australia and the first European mapping of Australia into historical context. \nRESERVE TICKETS

SUMMARY:RAHS Special Event - Indigenous Intermediaries and the Art of Encounter
DESCRIPTION:The Australian hydrographic expedition captained by Phillip Parker King (1818-22) produced a vast archive of journals\, reports\, log books\, letters\, maps\, sketches and material collections. Within this collection\, and at times well hidden\, are narratives\, traces\, fragments and images of the Indigenous men who travelled with the expedition to the north-west and northern coasts of Australia. Boongaree\, a Kuringgai man\, travelled with King on board HMC Mermaid in 1818. In 1821\, Bundle\, a Dharawal man replaced Boongaree for the fourth and final voyage on the replacement vessel\, HMS Bathurst. This talk reveals the ways in which the art\, letters\, journals and log books that the crew generated\, offer a glimpse into the experience of these men as they voyaged on board this maritime expedition. The focus of the talk will be on the art that was produced in scenic observations\, encounter scenes and portraits of Boongaree and Bundle. \nAbout the speaker: Associate Professor Tiffany Shellam\, Faculty of Arts and Education\, Deakin University\, works collaboratively with Noongar people and historians\, museum curators\, archivists and librarians to critique the archives\, unearthing hidden and alternative histories generated by encounters between Indigenous people and explorers and settlers in the nineteenth century. Her book Shaking Hands on the Fringe: Negotiating the Aboriginal world at King George’s Sound was published by UWA Publishing in 2009. Meeting the Waylo: Aboriginal encounters in the Archipelago (UWA Publishing 2020) won the Prime Minister’s Literary Award in Australian History in 2020. \nRESERVE TICKETS

SUMMARY:RAHS Day Lecture - Judith Anderson: From Adelaide to Broadway and Hollywood
DESCRIPTION:Born in Adelaide\, brought up by a determined single mother\, Judith Anderson parlayed her rich\, velvety voice and ability to portray strong emotions into Broadway stardom in the 1920s. Not a conventional beauty\, she was alluring\, with a beautiful body\, perfect dress sense\, and a striking\, volatile personality. She was soon recognised as a Leading Lady of the American Stage co-starring with Gielgud\, Olivier and Evans. Her landmark performance in Medea\, adapted for her by the poet Robinson Jeffers\, confirmed her reputation. She made numerous prizewinning television appearances\, and\, after her unforgettable role as Mrs Danvers in Hitchcock’s Rebecca\, was a sought-after character movie actress\, playing her last role in Star Trek III aged 87. She had a stormy private life and two short marriages\, which\, she remarked\, were ‘much too long.’ \nAbout the speaker: Desley Deacon is an Emeritus Professor of History at the Australian National University. She recently published Judith Anderson: Australian Star\, First Lady of the American Stage. She now lives in Sydney and writes occasional reviews and pieces in the Australian Book Review and Inside Story\, usually about biography and culture. \nRESERVE TICKETS

SUMMARY:RAHS/ISAA Lecture - The Real Sacred River: Truth-Telling and the Power of Regional Histories
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Australian Historical Society and the  NSW Chapter of the Independent Scholars Association (ISAA) present: \nThe Real Sacred River: Truth-Telling and the Power of Regional Histories\nIn 2017 human rights lawyer Professor Megan Davis called for a nationwide program of truth-telling through local and regional Aboriginal histories as an essential step towards Makarrata. These histories must acknowledge dispossession\, frontier conflict and massacres\, but Davis envisages more: deeper\, fuller histories involving Aboriginal people themselves; histories that are alive to cultural and spiritual continuities\, strategic negotiations\, family and community\, and the recovery and recognition of significant Aboriginal places and landscapes. \nHow might such collaborative projects be established?  How can traditional text-based research be revisited and reinterpreted for this kind of history?  How can we use other records\, like archaeological and art sites\, maps and mapping\, photographs\, oral testimony\, linguistics\, ecology and landscapes and\, most importantly\, Traditional Knowledge? \nRegional history is a powerful way to explore the implications\, possibilities and challenges of truth-telling that includes but goes beyond frontier violence and massacre history. I will present some of the findings from a current collaborative project\, The Real Secret River: Dyarubbin. \nAbout the speaker: \nPhoto Credit: Joy Lai \nGrace Karskens is Professor of History at the University of New South Wales. She is a leading authority on early colonial Australia and also works in cross-cultural and environmental history. \nGrace began her career as a public historian and has a lifelong commitment to bringing good history to wide audiences. She is an active contributor to several significant cultural organisations\, including Sydney Living Museums\, the State Library of New South Wales and the online Dictionary of Sydney project. \nGrace’s books include Inside the Rocks: The Archaeology of a Neighbourhood and the multi-award winning The Rocks: Life in Early Sydney.  Her book The Colony: A History of Early Sydney won the 2010 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction and the US Urban History Association’s prize for Best Book 2010. Grace’s essay ‘Nah Doongh’s Song’ won Australian Book Review’s 2019 Calibre prize\, and her latest book\, People of the River: Lost Worlds of Early Australia\, was published by Allen & Unwin in 2020. \nRESERVE TICKETS

SUMMARY:RAHS Special Event - An Introduction to Managing Local Societies in Changing Times
DESCRIPTION:This session is an introduction to an extensive program of sessions dealing with the management of local societies\, scheduled for later in the year. The introduction will look at three key areas of concern for local societies: \n\nGovernance and societies\n\nThere was no RAHS Conference in 2020 so we were unable to offer our members the opportunity to attend the popular Business Session. Governance and societies will bring members and others up to date with the latest news on managing local societies and groups.\n\n\n\n\nArranging and describing your collection\n\nLocal societies have an important role in preserving the history of their local communities ─ the memories of today and tomorrow ─ through their collections of documents\, photographs and museum objects. This session will consider how best to arrange and describe these collections for future generations.\n\n\n\n\nPlanning a digitisation project\n\n‘A well-developed project plan\, that takes into consideration all the factors and problems of your digitisation project\, will be the most important document you create.’ This session will look at the key components of a digitisation plan.\n\n\n\nOur speakers will be Suzanne Holohan (RAHS General Manager)\, Linda Emery (RAHS Councillor) and RAHS President Christine Yeats. \nPlease Note: The cost will be credited towards the cost of registering for the full program of sessions later in the year. \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:RAHS Day Lecture - That Luminous Moment: The 'wild and enthusiastic' ways of artist\, mystic and republican Adelaide Ironside (1831-1867)
DESCRIPTION:Adelaide Ironside was born in Sydney to a native-born mother and a Scottish auctioneer. When her parents’ marriage ended in 1834\, she and her mother went to live at Redman’s Court\, just a stone’s throw from Circular Quay and across from the town’s goal where her grandfather was Principal Gaoler. Although Adelaide’s remaining art and archive is porous\, there is much to suggest she was first taught to paint by her grandmother\, who was transported for forgery during the Napoleonic Wars. The Redmans must have been an ambitious family for both Adelaide and her mother were fluent in French and Italian and accomplished musicians and artists. They were also close associates of Dr John Dunmore Lang\, the so-called ‘chaplain of pandemonium’\, who encouraged Adelaide’s republicanism and her dream of using her art to ‘elevate her sex’ and ‘hoist the colours of her dear old country’ abroad. Adelaide was also animated by the mystical insights she gained as a medium and when she became the first Australian-born artist to train overseas\, her ability to scry crystal balls gave her access to Italy’s flourishing expatriate communities and eminent Victorians such as John Ruskin and his arch nemesis\, Sir Charles Eastlake\, then President of the Royal Academy. Adelaide was also a controversial figure who some condemned for being ‘wild\, irrational and impulsive’ while others so admired her ‘pure and noble spirit’ that they deemed her ‘the very impersonation of genius’. \nIn this presentation\, I discuss how writing about Adelaide has led to fresh discoveries about women’s participation in colonial politics and the influence of new spiritualism during this period. I also reflect upon some of the approaches I have developed to write about a woman whose archive I have found both bewitching and bewildering. \nAbout the speaker: Dr Kiera Lindsey is an award-winning historian and Senior Research Fellow conducting an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Research Award on speculative biography and historical craft. She has published book chapters and journal articles on biography\, nineteenth-century history\, women and marriage. Her first speculative biography\, The Convict’s Daughter was published with Allen & Unwin in 2018. Her second is concerned with colonial artist and republican\, Adelaide Ironside\, and will be published with Allen & Unwin. Kiera has been an on-camera historian and a regular guest on ABC Radio National. She is currently an executive councillor with the History Council of New South Wales. \nRESERVE TICKETS

SUMMARY:NAW Evening Lecture - Tales of Sunny Corner: Gold Mining\, Silver Smelting and the Birth of Broken Hill
DESCRIPTION:Join the Royal Australian Historical Society for a National Archaeology Week (NAW) Special Lecture: \nTales of Sunny Corner: Gold Mining\, Silver Smelting and the Birth of Broken Hill\n\n\n\n\nSunny Corner sits in the ranges between Bathurst and Lithgow with little evidence of its exciting history as a gold mine and then as a major silver mine in NSW and its surprising connection to the birth of Broken Hill. Since first assessing the remains of the Sunny Corner Mine\, Dr Stuart has been quietly researching the history of mining and the most notable character associated with the mines John Dye LeMonte; once described as a “blow-hard Yank”. LeMonte provides the surprising connection between often wet and cold Sunny Corner and the burnt landscapes of the Barrier Ranges via Spotswood. \nAbout the speaker: Dr Iain Stuart is a historian and archaeologist with a long-standing interest in mining stemming from early trips around the mines of Bendigo and Castlemaine with his father. Sunny Corner has been a bit of a pet project for him since he undertook an archaeological and heritage assessment of the Sunny Corner Mine for proposed rehabilitation works. Apart from his interest in mining\, Dr Stuart is a councillor of the RAHS and a board member of The International Conference on the Conservation of Industrial Heritage (TICCIH). He is a Principal at Artefact Heritage. \nRESERVE TICKETS
