This is particularly true with 3 SESSION 1 Archiving the Sydney Opera House: a drama in more than three acts Paul Bentley From 1973-1997, the Sydney Opera House employed the Dennis Wolanski Library and Archives of the Performing Arts, as well as records management, marketing and other business units, to capture its history. From 1987, at a time when responsibilities for recordkeeping were shifting from the gravediggers to the midwives, plans were developed to amplify the House’s archival capital through exhibitions, multimedia projects and a high-tech performing arts museum. The museum aimed to cover the cost of running archival and library programs and to generate additional income of $1 million for the Opera House. The 1995 NSW state election and managerial turnover led to the closure of the Dennis Wolanski Library and Archives in 1997 and the dispersal of its collection to other institutions and organisations throughout Australia. What happened during the first two decades? What happened to the material afterwards? And are there any lessons from the experience? 4 SESSION 2 Iconic People Engaging with a national icon: The Matthew Flinders – with transcriptions – the entire Flinders archive held more than 2 billion profiles from over 100 countries experience by the Library.

  • Dear Prime Minister, We Note with Concern the Increasingly Violent
    Dear Prime Minister, We note with concern the increasingly violent rhetoric directed towards Julian Assange of WikiLeaks. “We should treat Mr Assange the same way as other high-value terrorist targets: Kill him,” writes conservative columnist Jeffrey T Kuhner in the Washington Times. William Kristol, former chief of staff to vice president Dan Quayle, asks, “Why can’t we use our various assets to harass, snatch or neutralize Julian Assange and his collaborators, wherever they are?” “Why isn’t Julian Assange dead?” writes the prominent US pundit Jonah Goldberg. “The CIA should have already killed Julian Assange,” says John Hawkins on the Right Wing News site. Sarah Palin, a likely presidential candidate, compares Assange to an Al Qaeda leader; Rick Santorum, former Pennsylvania senator and potential presidential contender, accuses Assange of “terrorism”. And so on and so forth. Such calls cannot be dismissed as bluster. Over the last decade, we have seen the normalisation of extrajudicial measures once unthinkable, from ‘extraordinary rendition’ (kidnapping) to ‘enhanced interrogation’ (torture). In that context, we now have grave concerns for Mr Assange’s wellbeing. Irrespective of the political controversies surrounding WikiLeaks, Mr Assange remains entitled to conduct his affairs in safety, and to receive procedural fairness in any legal proceedings against him. As is well known, Mr Assange is an Australian citizen. We therefore call upon you to condemn, on behalf of the Australian Government, calls for physical harm to be inflicted upon Mr Assange, and to state publicly that you will ensure Mr Assange receives the rights and protections to which he is entitled, irrespective of whether the unlawful threats against him come from individuals or states.

  • The AWA Microphone for Harbour Bridge 75Th
    ..The Microphone used for the Sydney Harbour Bridge Opening ceremony. Compiled by David Burger, March 2007 with material from: - Phil Burgess Telstra, - Ted Miles – ex AWA technician. Press Release No. 94 (14/03/07) – Telstra's Sydney Harbour Bridge 75th birthday gift Phil Burgess, GMD, Public Policy and Communication, Telstra. Telstra has donated a rare microphone from its historical collection used to open the Sydney Harbour Bridge 75 years ago to the Sydney Powerhouse Museum - and it has created a bit of excitement. The Reisz microphone is a rare example of Australian technology manufactured in 1930 and was used to broadcast the 1932 opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to thousands of people. What has made the microphone especially significant is the signatures of all 10 dignitaries at the opening ceremony, including the NSW Premier John T Lang, NSW Governor Philip Game and the Bridge's Chief Engineer, JJC Bradfield. Speaking at the official donation event, Telstra's Group Managing Director PP&C Phil Burgess said that Telstra was proud to share this wonderful piece of Australian history with the community on the 75th birthday of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. "Every good piece of history has a story behind it and this microphone is no exception," Dr Burgess said. "Thanks to the Powerhouse Museum, many more people will be able to see and understand the role it played in unveiling a great Aussie icon." Why did Telstra have the microphone in its historical collection? The microphone became one of a collection of microphones owned by Mr Philip Geeves who was announcing for AWA (Amalgamated Wireless Australia Ltd) on the day of the Sydney Harbour Bridge opening.

The following list seeks to provide a record of exhibitions from the opening of the new Powerhouse Museum venue in Ultimo in March 1988 through the 30 subsequent fruitful years. The list also documents exhibitions in associated venues including the Sydney Observatory, for some years the Hyde Park Barracks and the Mint Museum, as well as touring exhibitions. Many years of rigorous planning preceded the 1988 opening of the Powerhouse Museum, which was heralded as the most important cultural development in Sydney since the opening of the Opera House, and a major event in Australia’s bicentennial year. A museum for us all, a museum of creativity, curiosity and community, the Powerhouse Museum set out to explore the interrelationship of science, art and people in an Australian context.

VOLUNTEER WITH THE SYDNEY OBSERVATORY ADMIN TEAM Sydney Observatory, built in 1858, is Australia’s oldest existing observatory and one of the most significant sites in the nation’s scientific history. In 1982 Sydney Observatory came under the management of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences. It is now a museum of astronomy and offers a range of educational programs in astronomy and science, which includes the solar system, the universe, space travel, and the history of astronomy. We are looking for a School Rewards Volunteer Role Description: Sydney Observatory receives many requests for support form schools and community organisations.

The aim is to engage with schools who will then make a booking, or for their parents and friends to promote Sydney observatory as a great place to visit during school holidays or weekends. This system has been working well and the uptake of the complimentary tickets is high which means the message is reaching the schools. There are approximately 12-15 applications for support a month.

  • Paolo Giorza and Music at Sydney's 1879 International Exhibition
    ‘Pleasure of a High Order:’ Paolo Giorza and Music at Sydney’s 1879 International Exhibition Roslyn Maguire As Sydney’s mighty Exhibition building took shape, looking to the harbour from an elevated site above the Botanic Gardens, anxiety and excitement mounted. This was to be the first International Exhibition held outside Europe or America and musical entertainment was to be its greatest attraction.1 An average of three thousand people would attend each week day and as recent studies have shown, Sydney’s International Exhibition helped initiate reforms to education, town planning, technologies, photography, manufacturing and patronage of the arts, music and literature.2 Although under construction since January 1879, it was mid May before the Exhibition’s influential Executive Commissioner Patrick Jennings3 announced the appointment of his friend, Milanese composer Paolo Giorza4 as musical director: [H]is credentials are of such a nature both as a conductor, composer and artist, that I could not justly pass them over. I think that he should also be authorised to compose a march and cantata for the opening ceremony … Signor Giorza offers to give his exclusive services as composer and director and performer on the organ and to organise a competent orchestra of local artists for promenade concerts, and to conduct the same.5 The extent of Jennings’s personal interest in Exhibition music is evident in this report publicising Giorza’s appointment. It amounts to one of the colony’s most interesting cultural documents for the ideas, attitudes and objectives it reveals, including consideration of whether an ‘Australian School of Music, as distinguished from any of the well-defined schools’ existed.

Once complete, the flagship Parramatta Powerhouse will include over 18,000 square metres of exhibition and public spaces, attract 2 million visitors each year and will be the first NSW Cultural Institution to call Western Sydney home. Powerhouse Board of Trustees President Peter Collins AM QC said: “I applaud the NSW Government’s visionary investment and commitment to deliver Powerhouse Parramatta and look forward to working closely with Infrastructure NSW as we move into the construction phase of the project. Powerhouse Parramatta will be a ground-breaking contemporary museum that will set a new benchmark in how museums engage and reflect their communities” “Powerhouse Parramatta will be our flagship museum and will sit alongside Ultimo, Castle Hill and Sydney Observatory to provide extraordinary cultural benefits for our communities - Australia’s very own Smithsonian for our globally renowned Collection.” Powerhouse Chief Executive Lisa Havilah said: “Powerhouse Parramatta is the largest cultural investment since the Sydney Opera House and planning approval marks a transformative cultural moment for the communities of Greater Sydney and NSW.
