Book Launch: Melbourne Ghost Signs

RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

A beguiling photographic collection of the faded signs and half-hidden logos of Melbourne, revealing the historic tales — big and small — of this ever-changing city. From the gold-rush years to the Swinging Sixties, from Robur Tea to Tarax soft drinks, this city can never settle. In a process of continual renewal, old buildings are incorporated into new, both uncovering and obscuring snippets of history. Ghost signs provide hints to our common heritage, ready to be picked up by the keen eye and quick shutter.

INAUGURAL GWENDA D. M. JONES MEMORIAL LECTURE

RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

We are thrilled to launch the inaugural Gwenda D. M. Jones Memorial lecture as part of our Distinguished Lecture series. Eminent historian, Richard Aitken will deliver the inaugural lecture, ‘“Orontes” adventure: introducing the Jones Collection of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria’. Richard will use Gwen’s 1953–54 study tour of Britain and Europe as a springboard for discussing the Jones Collection. Richard is best known as a garden historian but he was also a friend of Gwen and her family. During COVID lockdowns Richard worked assiduously to organise and annotate the Jones Collection. His deep knowledge of Gwen and her family adds immeasurably to the value of the collection.
