3. ASHA 2013 Conference – call for sessions

2013 Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology conference
Archaeological Narratives: In and of the City

The 2013 Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology (ASHA) conference is being held at the Former Kings School in Parramatta, NSW on 5 and 6 October 2013.

Parramatta is Australia’s second oldest city, part of the World Heritage Convict Sites Listing and home to a significant Aboriginal and historical archaeological resource which is increasingly threatened by fast paced urban development.

The conference theme is designed to highlight the archaeology of urban places and returns the conference to its roots with a focus on all aspects of archaeological practice. We particularly encourage Session s and Papers that consider the results of archaeological investigations of urban sites and what these narratives can tell us about the development of the environments we live in, including people, places, and technology.

With that in mind, the ASHA 2013 Conference committee is calling for people who would like to organise Conference Sessions around the following areas, with an urban archaeological flavour:

• Artefacts
• Urban sites & landscapes
• Defence archaeology
• Maritime
• Industrial archaeology
• Contact archaeology
• Archaeological narratives

If you are interested in organising a session, please email Brad Duncan.

4. Very Successful Australia ICOMOS Governance training session

The Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee (and other invited parties ) undertook a half day Governance training session in Melbourne on Friday 22 February. This preceded the Melbourne quarterly EC meeting. Governance was described as “the way in which an organisation is steered and stewarded” and the training covered a broad range of topics to assist the EC in understanding more fully their roles and responsibilities. We were encouraged to look a fresh at what we do, examine our rules, the size of the Executive Committee (currently 17) and in particular issues of serving the membership well and providing good value for membership fees. Financial management, insurances and officers liabilities were covered. The ICOMOS vision was discussed and currently this states that ICOMOS’ mission is to “lead cultural heritage conservation in Australia by raising standards, encouraging debate and generating innovative ideas.” The EC found the training very helpful, and already can see ways of incorporating new practices and initiatives into the management of the organisation. Thanks to Patrick Moriarty, from “Our Community” who ran the workshop so effectively.

6. RHSV exhibition – Celebrating the life of our city’s famous ship

Melburnians are invited to set sail exploring the history of Australia’s first light cruiser and one named after our own city, as the Royal Historical Society of Victoria (RHSV) and Military History and Heritage Victoria present the fascinating new exhibition “Fear God and Honour the King: HMAS Melbourne 1913 – 1928”.

HMAS Melbourne, a 5,600 ton warship with eight 6-inch guns, served the Royal Australian Navy from her commissioning in England in 1913 until her decommissioning in England in 1928. The ship took the name of the City of Melbourne, its seal as her crest, as well as the City’s credo, ‘Gathers Strength as She Goes’.

The exhibition, timed to commemorate the centenary of the ship’s arrival into Port Phillip Bay on 26 March 1913, features:

• The original seal of the City of Melbourne presented to the ship in 1913, courtesy of the Australian War Memorial
• A 12 bolt diving helmet and medals from the ship’s diver, also a Boer War veteran, from private collections
• The original Anzac day banner under which crew members marched in Melbourne post-WWI courtesy of the Museum of HMAS Cerberus
• More than 50 unique images from private collections, never before seen
• A fascinating chronology of life below decks and on board in peace and war, with items from the Australian National Maritime Museum, the State Libraries of Victoria and South Australia, Museum Victoria, the Australian War Memorial, Museum of HMAS Cerberus and a range of memorabilia from private collections

“HMAS Melbourne was a work horse of the RAN, steaming more than 250,000 miles during its lifetime,” explained Marcus Fielding, president of Military History and Heritage Victoria.

“She saw war service in the operations against the German colonies in the SW Pacific in 1914, escorted the 1st AIF fleet from Albany, saw service with the West Indies Squadron in 1915-1916 from Brazil to Canada and then served with the North Sea Fleet from 1916-1918.

“In 1922, Melbourne was involved in a dramatic rescue of the crew of an American schooner in the Tasman Sea, at the height of a hurricane.

“The exhibition, which takes its name from the scroll donated to the ship by the City of Melbourne in 1913, takes visitors on a journey back on board this ‘greyhound of the sea’, examining the ship’s war service and the lives of many of the crew who served in her.”

The exhibition will be held weekdays from 10am–4pm until the 1 May. Sponsors of the exhibition include the Port of Melbourne Corporation, Navy Health, the Melbourne Naval Centre and curator Cooee History and Heritage. A souvenir exhibition catalogue will be on available for $12. Pre-orders can also be made for the forthcoming history ‘HMAS Melbourne 1913-1928: The Forgotten Cruiser’, which will be launched at the Exhibition in March.

13. Lord Mayor opens Brisbane City Council’s Helen Taylor Awards

Lord Mayor Graham Quirk has announced Brisbane City Council’s Helen Taylor Awards applications are open. The award honours the work of late historian Helen Taylor.

Cr Quirk said the Lord Mayor’s Helen Taylor Award encouraged excellence in research and made stories about Brisbane available to the community.

“Our past is as important as our future and we want everyone to be able to access our rich history and heritage,” he said.

“Because of this we have made one award of up to $10,000 available to history students or independent researchers whose research project provides insights into Brisbane’s past, and contributes to the city’s distinctiveness and sense of identity.

“In particular we are looking for projects around local indigenous history, projects that unearth less well known aspects of our history and those that encourage excellence in research in the field of Brisbane history.”

Cr Quirk added that the opening of the Lord Mayor’s Helen Taylor Award coincided with Council’s existing Community History Grant program.

“The Community History Grant program, also up to $10,000 per grant, is designed for local non-profit community groups which have an innovative idea about sharing history with the public,” he said.

Eight organisations received a total of $66,298.20 under the 2011/12 Community History Grant program.

Some of that funding was allocated to the National Trust of Queensland to develop an updated version of ‘Wolston Story’, and the Queensland Maritime Museum Association has used its grant to introduce Multilingual Self-Guided Audio Tours of the ex HMAS Diamantina.

Applications for the Lord Mayor’s Helen Taylor Award and the Community History Grant program close on Monday 18 March 2013.

For more information, visit the Brisbane City Council website or phone Justine Wilkinson , the program manager for the grants, on (07) 3178 5338.

16. Capturing Flora Exhibition: Sydney, 14 February – 15 March 2013

The ‘must see’ Capturing Flora exhibition is now on at the SH Ervin Gallery, Observatory Hill, Sydney.

The exhibition traces the evolution of Australian botanical art from the 1600s until now. A selection of the finest botanical artists from Australia and the world is on display, tracing the wonder our flora caused world eyes (and continues to). It also is a fascinating survey of the change of ways of representing flora – from pure science to pure art.

This major exhibition from the Art Gallery of Ballarat examines the way in which Australia’s amazing and diverse flora has been recorded, interpreted and popularised by botanical artists, in particular the period associated with the promotion of these new ‘exotick’ plants in Britain and Europe. During the 19th century, the growing middle class, both in the colonies and the home country, developed an insatiable interest in horticultural pursuits, while scientific institutions were building up their knowledge of botanical resources. New printing techniques allowed prints to be coloured mechanically, resulting in a boom in botanical art which lasted into the 20th century.

The exhibition is accompanied by a major book, available from the Art Gallery of Ballarat or email the Art Gallery.

Please address all questions regarding the 14th Annual Heritage Research Seminar to Leanne Philpot via email or Calum Robertson via email.

“Heritage Scapes”

Various concepts of ‘scapes’ have been employed within the heritage discourse over the last decade. Stemming from an initial concern with the decontextualisation of heritage sites from their surroundings, more abstract notions of landscapes, including the inter-connections between natural, cultural, social and symbolic dimensions are being debated.

Interest in environs has furthered advances in landscape studies and in contextualizing heritage spatially. At the same time we see attempts at exploring heritage through the effects of space: heritage-scapes, city-scapes, and memorial-scapes.

Behind the vocabulary of ‘scapes’ lies a move towards a broader vision of the networks of meaning that create heritage, linking it with markers in both real and symbolic environments.

Is this suffix, this ‘scape’, an escape or does it reflect a change in how we understand heritage? Is the adoption of spatial terminology advancing how we learn of is it merely metaphorical? How it is attempting to develop conceptual and analytical terms that capture the dynamic between space and heritage? And will the new terminology be inclusive of cross-cultural concepts of space?
