The Influence of the Friendly Society Movement in Victoria 1835–1920
The Influence of the Friendly Society Movement in Victoria 1835–1920 Roland S. Wettenhall Post Grad. Dip. Arts A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 24 June 2019 Faculty of Arts School of Historical and Philosophical Studies The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Entrepreneurial individuals who migrated seeking adventure, wealth and opportunity initially stimulated friendly societies in Victoria. As seen through the development of friendly societies in Victoria, this thesis examines the migration of an English nineteenth-century culture of self-help. Friendly societies may be described as mutually operated, community-based, benefit societies that encouraged financial prudence and social conviviality within the umbrella of recognised institutions that lent social respectability to their members. The benefits initially obtained were sickness benefit payments, funeral benefits and ultimately medical benefits – all at a time when no State social security systems existed. Contemporaneously, they were social institutions wherein members attended regular meetings for social interaction and the friendship of like-minded individuals. Members were highly visible in community activities from the smallest bush community picnics to attendances at Royal visits. Membership provided a social caché and well as financial peace of mind, both important features of nineteenth-century Victorian society. This is the first scholarly work on the friendly society movement in Victoria, a significant location for the establishment of such societies in Australia. The thesis reveals for the first time that members came from all strata of occupations, from labourers to High Court Judges – a finding that challenges conventional wisdom about the class composition of friendly societies. -
SIR TIMOTHY COGHLAN Papers, 1878-1969 Reels M807-M814, M828
AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR TIMOTHY COGHLAN Papers, 1878-1969 Reels M807-M814, M828 Mr A.F. Coghlan Ludwell Grange Horsted Keynes Haywards Heath West Sussex National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1971-72 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Timothy Augustine Coghlan (1855-1926) was born in Sydney, the son of Irish immigrants. He attended the Cleveland Street Public School and Sydney Grammar School. In 1870 he became a pupil-teacher at Fort Street Public School and in 1873 he joined the Department of Public Works. Enjoying the statistical and mathematical aspects of the work, he rose rapidly and by 1884 he was an assistant engineer. He did not, however, aspire to be an engineer and in 1886 he successfully sought the new position of government statistician. Coghlan held the post for nearly twenty years and was widely recognised as the leading statistician in Australia. He became a fellow of the Royal Statistical Society in 1893. He published the annual New South Wales Statistical Register and the Wealth and Progress of New South Wales. An ambitious man, he expanded the functions of his office and eagerly accepted commissions from the Government. He advised it on financial, electoral reform and local government matters, he was a member of the Public Service Board from 1896 onwards and was the Registrar of Friendly Societies from 1892 to 1905. He served on a number of royal commissions. He was the obvious choice for the position of Commonwealth Statistician, but he turned down the offer in 1906. Coghlan visited England in 1897 and investigated the Agent-General’s office on behalf of the Public Service Board. -

OPALS AND AGATES ; OR, SCENES UNDER THE SOUTHERN CROSS AND THE MAGELHANS : BEING MEMORIES OF FIFTY YEARS OF AUSTRALIA AND POLYNESIA. Eiaitit eine Ellurtrationo. BY NEHEMIAH BARTLEY. PRICE FIFTEEN SHILLINGS. Alri4auf : GORDON AND GOTCH, MELBOURNE, SYDNEY, AND 1.,01•T7DOINT- 1892. BRISBANE : GORDON AND GOTCH, PRINTERS. THE AUTHOR DEDICATES THIS BOOK TO THE GIRL PATRIOTS, PAST AND PRESENT, OF AUSTRALASIA, WHO BELIEVE IN THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY, kVI T II ALL rrs FAULTS, FOR THE SAKE OF ITS MANY PERFECTIONS, AND WHO ARE PROUD, AND NOT ASHAMED, OF ITS POINTS OF DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER LANDS. SO, TO THEM ARE HEREBY INSCRIBED SUCH " OPALS AND AGATES " AS TILE WRITER HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND, BY THE WAYSIDE, IN HIS MANY WANDERINGS, IN THIS GREAT SOUTHERN WORLD. This is a blank page PREFACE. AT the suggestion of friends, I have herein collated, for publica- tion, some rambling recollections, drawn from a diary that was first started in 1846. I hold that, neither the era of Dampier (circa 1690), nor of Cook (in 1770), nor of Macquarie (in 1820), bears so deep an interest for posterity as those fateful, stirring years, during which, thanks to her gold, Australia rose, from being a mere convicts' wilderness, to become one of the most advanced and interesting countries in the world. And, besides this, not only is truth, at times, stranger, and more readable, than fiction, but a book, which is destitute, alike, of dialogue, plot, or hero, and in no way built upon the orthodox lines of the three-volume novel, may still—if it follows humbly in the wake of such guides as " Robinson Crusoe," or the " Essays of Elia "—hope to find some readers ; so, I venture. -
