2. [NEW ITEM] Judy Birmingham awarded a Medal of the General Order of Australia

Associate Professor Judy Birmingham, one of the founding members of the Australian Society for Historical Archaeology and historical archaeology in Australia has been awarded an AM, a Medal of the General Order of Australia, in the recent Queen’s Birthday Honours.

Judy Birmingham was a major contributor to the inception, development, and teaching of Historical Archaeology in Australia. She was the major instigator of the first teaching course for Historical Archaeology in Australia at the University of Sydney in 1973/74. From these beginnings, Historical Archaeology (incl. Industrial Archaeology) is now taught at a number of universities in Australia, including:

* University of Sydney
* La Trobe University
* University of New England
* University of Western Australia
* Australian National University
* University of Canberra
* Flinders University
* University of Queensland
* James Cook University

Historical and Industrial Archaeology are also aspects of the practice of heritage in all states of Australia with many consultants working within these disciplinary areas. Historical Archaeology is the study of the physical remains, both above and below ground, including archaeological remains and history of Australia’s colonial and contemporary past. 

Judy was also involved in the development of Australia ICOMOS and in drafting the ICOMOS Burra Charter, which continues to provide the key guiding principles for heritage in Australia. She was active in the development of the conservation and study of Industrial Archaeology as part of the Industrial Archaeology Committee, National Trust (NSW). Through these avenues she was also involved in the development of national heritage legislation leading to the establishment of the former Australian Heritage Commission, now the Australian Heritage Council. In addition, as much of Judy’s activities and those of her students were in NSW, she played an important role in gaining protection for archaeological and industrial sites under the NSW Heritage Act, 1977. These contributions were frequently made during her decades of association with the National Trust of Australia (NSW), 1969-1989. 

Following her arrival from the United Kingdom in 1961, Judy was employed as a lecturer, senior lecturer and finally as associate professor at the University of Sydney until her retirement in 1996, a period of 35 years. Aside from being a key figure in establishing the discipline of Historical Archaeology in Australia and its role within Australian modern heritage practice, Judy was a central figure in establishing the Australasian (formerly Australian) Society for Historical Archaeology (ASHA) in 1970. This is the key society for historical archaeologists and represents and supports the research interests of members and dissemination of archaeological projects to the public. 

In 2006, ‘Papers in Honour of Judy Birmingham’ was published by ASHA, as part of the regular journal publication series. Some of the articles specifically set out Judy’s background and involvement in the development of historical archaeology while others were written by her students and peers in her honour. Of particular note are:

* ‘President’s Forward’, Susan Lawrence (p. 5-6)
* ‘Judy Birmingham in conversation’, Tracy Ireland and Mary Casey (p. 7-16)
* ‘Judy in the sixties: an inspiration’, Christine Eslick and David Frankel (p. 17-18)
* ‘Historical Archaeology, Heritage and the University of Sydney’, Ian Jack (p. 19-?)
* ‘Judy Birmingham, Industrial Archaeology and the National Trust in the 1980s’, Richard Mackay and Tony Brassil (p. 25-30)
* Bibliography and positions held (p. 113-114)

Also, a number of the authors in the 2006 volume made separate acknowledgements about Judy’s contributions to their research and the discipline generally:

* Colley (p. 53)
* Casella (p. 71)
* Casey (p. 96)
* Patterson (p. 109).

The 2006 volume of Australasian Historian Archaeology includes a bibliography of Judy’s publications and list of positions held at the university and on various heritage bodies. Some of these publications are still in use today, while others were highly influential when published. In her retirement, Judy is still working on research and publication of Historical Archaeology and continues as a member of ASHA, of which she is an Honorary Life Member.

3. [NEW ITEM] ACT & Region Heritage Symposium 2017, 19 August, Canberra – call for papers

Convened by Heritage Partners: Australia ICOMOS, Canberra Archaeological Society, Canberra & District Historical Society and National Trust of Australia (ACT); venue and cost details to be advised.

‘The Politics of Heritage: the art of the possible’ asks what are the possibilities for cultural heritage in a city designed for democracy and diplomacy and political action, in a world of multiple stakeholders, where real and virtual borders transect our region and where digital technology is rewriting the rules of engagement between politicians, citizens and trusted cultural institutions.

How can we extend our understanding of the political landscape of our city; from the institutions that inhabit it, to the way politics and legislation features in heritage conservation and management. What is the role of cultural heritage management and conservation in the area of international cooperation as well as an instrument of ‘soft’ influence by states? How is the digital environment extending and enhancing experience with heritage values, not just in respect both to the processes of conservation and restoration, but in building active and engaged communities? Sub-themes are: Connecting the Dots in Heritage: gaps across statutory systems; Negotiating Outcomes for Heritage; Crossing Borders: sharing heritage objects and idea[l]s.

Call for Papers: We are seeking papers from a diverse range of viewpoints; from Aboriginal community members, heritage and museum and practitioners, educators and students, architects, archaeologists, planners, embassies, artists and community advocates that explore and examine the interactions between people, place and practice focusing on the heritage of/as/in politics, democracy and diplomacy.

To propose a paper, please submit a summary to the National Trust (ACT) by email by 7 July 2017.

18. Call for Expressions of Interest for the Australia ICOMOS Heritage Planning Working Group

The Heritage Planning Working Group is a newly formed Australia ICOMOS Working Group. The need for such a group was noted by the Executive Committee in 2016 given the extensive statutory planning changes occurring throughout Australia at present, much of which has significant potential impacts for cultural heritage. The purpose of the Group is to examine planning policy and provisions and current proposed changes to this across Australia in relation to cultural heritage and its conservation; and to identify issues for heritage conservation as well as actions that could be taken by Australia ICOMOS alone, or in partnership, to address or mitigate identified issues.

The Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee is looking for members for this new group. Members of the Working Group will need to have expertise and experience with cultural heritage planning, however they do not need to be practising planners. We are also looking for broad Australian representation in the Working Group.

If you are interested in being part of this Working Group, please complete the Heritage Planning Working Group EOI – May 2017 form and email it to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat. The closing date for EOIs is the 30 June 2017.

If you have any queries in relation to the working Group please contact Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee member, Anne McConnell by email.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

19. Call for New Members for the Australia ICOMOS Indigenous Heritage Reference Group

The purpose of the Indigenous Heritage Reference Group is to provide advice as needed to the President and the Executive Committee on any issues that arise in relation to the conservation of Indigenous cultural heritage. Issues may relate to specific sites as in the case of Indigenous issues in World Heritage Monitoring Missions or ‘framework’ issues as in the case of preparing submissions on legislation reform.

This reference group, initially a Working Group, has existed since 1998. The Group does not hold regular meetings, but is called into action as issues arise. Members are required to have high level qualifications and/or experience in Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage.

The Indigenous Heritage Reference Group currently has eight members, but in line with Australia ICOMOS policy, the Group is seeking to refresh its membership. We are therefore interested to hear from Australia ICOMOS members who are interested in becoming new members of the Indigenous Heritage Reference Group. Please note that members will be selected based on demonstrated expertise and experience.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Indigenous Heritage Reference Group please email an EOI to the Convenor, Anne McConnell. The closing date for EOIs is the 30 June 2017.

For more information on the Indigenous Heritage Reference Group or Australia ICOMOS Reference Groups and other groups and committees more generally click here.

20. Port Arthur Talks, Thursday 22 June 2017

Runaway Convicts: Absconding Patterns in Colonial Australia
presented by Professor Hamish Maxwell- Stewart

Until recently many historians have down-played the rate of convict resistance. Recent research suggests that we might have to rethink this. Between 1824 and 1860 over 22,000 reward notices for runaway convicts were placed in the Van Diemen’s Land Government Gazette. Tens of thousands more appeared in the New South Wales equivalent. This paper uses this data to explore runaway patterns. Comparing these with other unfree societies, including slavery in the United States, it argues that convicts were highly mobile and that much of this withdrawal of labour was connected to work place resistance. This explains why the colonial state took absconding so seriously. Runaways were savagely punished, many of them ending up in penal stations like Port Arthur.

Hamish Maxwell-Stewart is a Professor of social history in the School of Humanities at the University of Tasmania. His research uses Tasmania’s colonial archives to explore intergenerational health issues and he is best known for his knowledge of convict transportation. He was awarded the Margaret Scott Award for the best book by a Tasmanian author in 2010, for his book ‘Closing Hells Gates’. He is currently collaborating with researchers at the universities of Liverpool, Sheffield, Oxford and Sussex on the ‘Digital Panopticon’ project, which is looking at the global impact of London Punishments between 1780 and 1925, as well as with Port Arthur Historic Site and the University of New England on a project to determine the effectiveness of convict labour as a tool of reform and training.

All welcome.

When: Thursday 22 June 2017 at 5.30pm

Where: Junior Medical Officer’s House Conference Room (rear of the house), Port Arthur Historic Site

For more information call (03) 6251 2324.

21. Call for Expressions of Interest – ATCH 2018 Visiting Fellows Program

The ATCH (Architecture Theory Criticism History) Research Centre invites Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the Visiting Fellows Program 2018. The program welcomes Expressions of Interest from scholars with varying levels of experience who are carrying out critical research in architecture.

ATCH is located within the School of Architecture at The University of Queensland (UQ), in Brisbane, Australia. The Centre supports innovative and interdisciplinary research on the history, theory and criticism of architecture. Architecture and its place within a larger history of ideas is a strong focus within the Centre. Bringing together Postdoctoral Fellows, Research Fellows, Postgraduates and Academics from UQ’s School of Architecture, the centre offers a stimulating and rich environment for enquiry and debate. An active program of seminars, lectures, symposia, workshops and exhibitions is run throughout the year. For a full list of people, recent fellows and events please visit the ATCH website.

The Visiting Fellows Research Program supports short term residencies of one to three months for scholars to work on innovative research on the history, theory and criticism of architecture. Projects that overlap with the work of existing ATCH scholars will be favoured. The program welcomes applicants from all levels of academia but particularly encourages proposals from new and mid-career scholars. Visiting Fellowships are not open to postgraduate students.

The Visiting Fellows Research Program will provide a return airfare to Brisbane and a workspace within the centre. All Fellows will have access to UQ libraries, including the Fryer Library and Architecture and Music Library. Support for accommodation may also be available depending on the applicant’s financial circumstances.

Visiting Fellows will be required to present their research in progress in a public lecture, participate in seminars and conferences organised during their residency, and contribute to RHD events. Published outcomes of research undertaken during the Fellowship should acknowledge ATCH and the UQ School of Architecture.

While ATCH Visiting Fellows are solicited through EOIs, the Centre also directly invites Fellows to participate in the program.

Expressions of Interest should be submitted as a single PDF file and address the following items in this order:

  • Name and contact details
  • Title of Research Project
  • Short Research Proposal including intended outcomes (500 words)
  • Short Biography including details of qualifications and 2 recent publications (200 words)
  • Citizenship & Employment Status. Will the applicant be on sabbatical during the course of the Fellowship?
  • Is the project supported by other sources of funding?
  • Is financial assistance for accommodation requested, and if so, on what grounds
  • Preferred dates and duration of Fellowship in 2018

If the EOI proceeds to the second stage, the candidate will be invited to submit additional documentation, including:

  • A short statement of relevance to ATCH Centre and existing members’ work
  • Relation of the project to the applicant’s past and future research
  • Two samples of published written work (journal articles, pieces of criticism, book chapter, chapter from a submitted PHD thesis)
  • Name and contact details for 2 referees

22. Industrial Heritage questionnaire – deadline 24 June 2017

Over recent years when Industrial Heritage has been discussed in forums such as the ICOMOS Scientific Council, Advisory Committee or Board meetings, a range of opinions has been expressed about the position of industrial heritage within ICOMOS.

After discussions in the ICOMOS Scientific Council, members of ICOMOS Ireland were asked to explore how dialogue and policy development on matters relating to Industrial Heritage would best be facilitated within ICOMOS. The Industrial Heritage Working Group (IHWG) was established during the General Assembly in Florence to look at ways and means, including the possible development of an ISC on Industrial Heritage for ICOMOS members.

The IHWG wants to get the opinions of the ICOMOS membership. An online questionnaire has been designed with questions that mainly require a yes/no answer, and in total should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey, and we have set a time limit for completion before 24 June 2017.

23. Deakin University Cultural Heritage Seminar, Melbourne, Wednesday 21 June

Deakin University’s next Cultural Heritage Seminar will be a presentation by Tim Edensor (Manchester Metropolitan University), on “Stony Histories of Melbourne”.

Abstract

In this presentation, I will discuss the material composition of Melbourne in terms of the geological resources that have been used to build the city: stone, brick, cement. The paper will identify key sources from which these materials are derived to underline that cities are always composed from matter from elsewhere, forging, dispensing with and reforging connections. An examination of building materials can testify to the politics and tensions involved in these connections at various scales – colonial, pre-colonial, global, national and regional. By drawing on historical and contemporary research, I will discuss how Melbourne’s building stone and bricks have been subject to diverse, often contesting values that have fluctuated over time.

Biography

Tim Edensor teaches cultural geography at Manchester Metropolitan University and is a visiting fellow at Melbourne University. He is the author of Tourists at the Taj (1998), National Identity, Popular Culture and Everyday Life (2002) and Industrial Ruins: Space, Aesthetics and Materiality (2005), as well as the editor of Geographies of Rhythm (2010) and co-editor of Spaces of Vernacular Creativity (2009). Tim has written extensively on national identity, tourism, industrial ruins, walking, driving and urban materiality. Minnesota University Press will publish his forthcoming book, Light and Dark, in Spring 2017. He runs a blog on light and darkness: Light Research at MMU.

Date: Wednesday 21 June

Time: 5.00pm

Venue: Deakin Downtown, 727 Collins St, Tower 2, Level 12

Venue Tip: Deakin’s new city centre campus is between Southern Cross Station and Docklands, on tram routes 11 and 48 (Stop D15). Entry is via Tower Two. The reception desk directs you to an escalator to a bank of lifts and Deakin Downtown is on Level 12.

28. Travelling Stories, 10-14 October 2017, Tasmania: A conference with a difference – call for sessions

This conference is the first-ever collaboration between the Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology (ASHA) and Interpretation Australia (IA). The theme is “Travelling Stories: connecting people and landscapes” and it will bring people together to explore new ways of telling stories about the important landscapes, places and environments in which we live and work. It will be a travelling conference, moving through venues from Launceston to Hobart via key places along the Midlands Highway including the World Heritage-listed Brickendon; Ross; the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and the Shene Estate. We anticipate the attendance of people from a broad range of disciplines and professions – interpretation specialists, archaeologists, writers, designers, heritage consultants, heritage tourism operators, digital technology specialists, museum curators, tour guides, parks rangers, naturalists, visitor program managers – to explore common ground and approaches.

The conference theme will allow for the development of joint sessions and cross-disciplinary discussions about how data and research become transformed into knowledge and how knowledge can be shared with a wide range of audiences in a constantly changing world. There will also be opportunity for each organisation to develop conference sessions that relate to its professional interests and concerns, and to enable the delivery of papers about both natural and cultural environments.

We aim to develop the conference experience through an exploration of the excitingly complex and interesting landscapes of Tasmania and beyond, using both formal conference sessions and informed site visits. The conference will integrate field excursions with thematic discussions rather than relegating field trips to pre- or post-conference optional extras (although there will be some of those too!). In all of the conference deliberations the focus will be on the telling of new stories, using established and developing technologies for better interpretive outcomes, and in reaching audiences that previously may have seemed either physically remote or challenging to engage. We aim to foster new thinking, profitable collaborations and an atmosphere that encourages challenging the status quo.

Call for Sessions

Download the Call for Sessions for detailed information.

To facilitate the timely completion of the conference programme we ask that session proposals be submitted to the Organising Committee by Monday 3 July. Proposals should take the form of a session title, a 150 word (maximum) description of its aims and scope that can also serve as text for the printed programme, and name(s), address(es) and contact details for the session convenor(s).

Also keep an eye out on the conference website.

31. [NEW] SITUATION VACANT Historian, Clerk Grade, Aboriginal Affairs (Sydney)

From 2017, the NSW Government is implementing a range of Stolen Generations reparation initiatives in recognition of the enduring effects of past government practices in relation to the Stolen Generations. This included the wide-ranging control the Aborigines Projection Board and Aborigines Welfare Board (the Board) had over the lives of Aboriginal people, including the power to remove children from their families and place them into care under the policy of assimilation. As part of this work the NSW Government has committed to improve access to the records of the former Aborigines Welfare and Protection Boards, covering the period from 1883 to 1969, including contextualising the records.
