The School of Physics Museum Cultural Collections Projects Program 2016 The University of Melbourne The School of Physics Museum Student/Volunteer Position Guide Position Title: Collections Management – Conservation survey project, Cooke Refractor Telescope Supervisor: Phil Lyons, Collection Manager - The School of Physics Museum Helen Arnoldi, Student Projects Coordinator, Cultural Collections Position Goal: Under direction, the student/volunteer will research and survey the current status of the Cooke refractor telescope c. 1874 that is located in the observatory on the top of the David Caro Building (in which the School of Physics Museum is located). The information compiled in the report will be used to inform recommendations on its future management. Report information will also be incorporated into the museum’s database. Background: The collection of The School of Physics Museum at the University of Melbourne comprises some 400 items of historical and scientific interest, concentrating on scientific apparatus constructed by former professors and staff for research purposes. It includes equipment and photographs spanning the history of the museum, which was established as the School of Natural Philosophy in the 1880s. There are significant holdings of ruling engines and diffraction gratings developed by H.J Grayson and Lyle in the School and the CSIRO as well as equipment used in the development of optical munitions during the Second World War. The 4 ½“ Cooke refractor telescope has been used by undergraduate Physics astronomy students to observe sunspot activity, since the Physics building opened in 1974. The refractor first arrived in Australia 100 years earlier, and was made by the celebrated York scientific instrument and optics manufacturer Thomas Cooke & Son. An excerpt from the Tenth Report of the Board of Visitors to the Melbourne Observatory 1875 states ‘…a portable equatorial, of 4 ½ inches aperture, was received from Messrs Cooke and Son of York on the 16th of October 1874’. The refractor had been imported to the Melbourne Observatory specifically for the observation of the Transit of Venus a rare astronomical occurrence. The Transit of Venus on the 9th of December 1874 saw the world’s astronomy community collaborate in the observation of the event throughout the world. At this time, the Melbourne Observatory under the direction of the Government Astronomer Mr Robert Ellery had setup observation points across Victoria, with the 4 ½ Cooke Refractor being stationed near the Glenrowan railway station. For more information on the Physics Museum’s collections visit their website at: http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/museum/ Responsibilities: In consultation with the collection manager, the student/volunteer will be required to first carry out an inventory on the Cooke Refractor Telescope and its associated hardware. This information will be added to the museum’s catalogue. They will then complete a detailed condition survey on the telescope. It is anticipated that the report will investigate the telescope’s history and current status, and include recommendations on conservation issues and on its future management. Qualifications: Ideally will have a basic understanding of collection management principles specific to the documentation of objects (progress towards the completion of a degree in Museum Studies/Conservation or similar would be suitable). A knowledge of the correct procedures for the safe handling of museum objects is desirable as this position requires the handling and close inspection of these items. An interest in historic scientific apparatus and physics would be beneficial. A methodical, prudent approach and a keen eye for detail. Experience with museum databases would be desirable. Training and Supervision: On-the-job training specific to the task will be provided. Ongoing guidance from the Collection Manager on the direction of the project. Occasional meetings with the Cultural Collections Projects Coordinator to review how the project is progressing and discuss any ideas or problems encountered. Benefits: Opportunity to work at close hand with one of the University of Melbourne’s extensive cultural collections. The opportunity for professional development through experience gained in collection management procedures and practice. Experience in the handling of museum objects. Satisfaction gained from focusing on the Cooke refractor telescope and seeing it researched, documented and having a condition survey completed which will be used to inform future collection management decisions. Through this project you will help make The School of Physics Museum collection more accessible. The application of collection management principles to the University’s cultural collections is necessary to enhance our long term understanding, management and appreciation of the collections.

  • Influences of German Science and Scientists on Melbourne Observatory
    CSIRO Publishing The Royal Society of Victoria, 127, 43–58, 2015 www.publish.csiro.au/journals/rs 10.1071/RS15004 INFLUENCES OF GERMAN SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS ON MELBOURNE OBSERVATORY Barry a.J. Clark Astronomical Society of Victoria Inc. PO Box 1059, GPO Melbourne 3001 Correspondence: Barry Clark, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The multidisciplinary approach of Alexander von Humboldt in scientific studies of the natural world in the first half of the nineteenth century gained early and lasting acclaim. Later, given the broad scientific interests of colonial Victoria’s first Government Astronomer Robert Ellery, one could expect to find some evidence of the Humboldtian approach in the operations of Williamstown Observatory and its successor, Melbourne Observatory. On examination, and without discounting the importance of other international scientific contributions, it appears that Melbourne Observatory was indeed substantially influenced from afar by Humboldt and other German scientists, and in person by Georg Neumayer in particular. Some of the ways in which these influences acted are obvious but others are less so. Like the other Australian state observatories, in its later years Melbourne Observatory had to concentrate its diminishing resources on positional astronomy and timekeeping. Along with Sydney Observatory, it has survived almost intact to become a heritage treasure, perpetuating appreciation of its formative influences. Keywords: Melbourne Observatory, 19th century, Neumayer, German science The pioneering holistic approach of Alexander von (Geoscience Australia 2015).

  • An Introduction to the Astronomical Archives of Australia and New Zealand
    ASTRONOMICAL HERITAGES: Astronomical Archives and Historic Transits of Venus Journal of Astronomical Data, Vol. 10, 7, 2004 Christiaan Sterken, Hilmar W. Duerbeck, eds. An Introduction to the Astronomical Archives of Australia and New Zealand Wayne Orchiston Anglo-Australian Observatory, and Australia Telescope National Facility, PO Box 296, Epping, NSW 1710, Australia Abstract After summarising key elements in the astronomical histories of Australia and New Zealand, we provide master lists of the prin- cipal astronomical records found in the archives, libraries, mu- seums, observatories and government research institutes of these two Oceanic nations. In preparing these two national inventories, we address one of the primary objectives of the IAU’s Working Group on Astronomical Archives. 1. Introduction International Astronomical Union Commission 41 (History of Astron- omy) was formed in 1948, but it was only in 1991 that the Commission’s first Working Group – on Astronomical Archives – was formed. This was largely in response to the on-going dispersal and destruction of personal papers of astronomical importance, a matter of considerable concern that was raised at the 1967, 1979 and 1988 General Assemblies. Chaired by the upcoming President of C41, Suzanne D´ebarbat, the Astronomical Archives Working Group was a joint initiative of Com- missions 5 (Documentation and Astronomical Data) and 41, and its initial objectives were reflected in Resolution C4 which was passed at the 1991 General Assembly “to establish a register of the whereabouts of all extant astronomical archives of historical interest; to impress on observatories and other institutions their responsibility for the preser- vation, conservation, and where possible, cataloguing of such archives; and to search for an institution that will allocate space and funds for maintaining such a register and publishing it” (see D´ebarbat 2002).

  • National Heritage Assessment of St Kilda Road and Environs, Melbourne
    National Heritage Assessment of St Kilda Road and Environs, Melbourne The National Heritage List Australia’s National Heritage List comprises places of outstanding heritage significance to Australia. Currently there are over 100 places of outstanding heritage value in the list, including the Sydney Opera House, Port Arthur Historic Site, Budj Bim National Heritage Landscape, Cheetup Rock Shelter, the Great Barrier Reef, and Yea Flora Fossil Site. Many places within Melbourne are already recognised in the National Heritage List, including the Royal Exhibition Building, Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Rippon Lea House and Gardens, and Flemington Racecourse. Emergency listing and assessment of St Kilda Road and Environs On 13 February 2017 the Minister for the Environment and Energy, the Hon Josh Frydenberg MP, included St Kilda Road and Environs in the National Heritage List using the emergency provisions of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The Australian Heritage Council is now required to give the Minister an assessment to demonstrate and confirm whether the place meets any of the National Heritage criteria. The Minister is then able to make a decision on whether the place should remain listed. This needs to occur within 12 months of the emergency listing or the listing will lapse. What would National Heritage listing mean? National Heritage listing is an acknowledgement of the importance of a place. It does not change land tenure or ownership. If included in the National Heritage List, the National Heritage values of the listed place will be protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Proposed National Heritage values There are nine National Heritage List criteria (a-i).

    Astronomical Society of Victoria Inc. Registered number A0002118S ABN 50 171 532 108 GPO Box 1059, MELBOURNE, VIC 3001 AUSTRALIA MELBOURNE OBSERVATORY A Statement by the Astronomical Society of Victoria Inc. The Astronomical Society of Victoria (“ASV”) sees a very positive future for Melbourne Observatory. It is a fine example of a 19th century observatory, together with many of its original instruments. The site will gain further international recognition when the Great Melbourne Telescope (“GMT”) is returned to its original house. This is planned for 2019. However, ASV is alarmed that the planning fundamentals necessary to guide the future of the Observatory are not yet properly identified and agreed. Meanwhile major decisions are looming. ASV believes that the location of a new Herbarium proposed by the Royal Botanic Gardens of Victoria (“RBGV”) poses a serious threat. This situation is unacceptable because significant public assets of great heritage and historical importance are involved. The only public planning process underway – RBGV’s 20-Year Master Plan for the Melbourne Gardens – is clearly inadequate and yet is due for public release as early as March 2017. Invitations made last August for public input to the Master Plan did not include any mention of the Observatory at all, despite its now being managed by RBGV and sharing huge historic, scientific and cultural values. Far deeper consultation is required on the critical needs identified below, namely: Development of a specific plan for Melbourne Observatory. Updating of the Statement of Significance (“SoS”) for the heritage listed Melbourne Observatory, before major works are initiated. Closer examination of the heritage responsibilities placed upon RBGV, as custodian of the site, by the 1995 Heritage Act.
