1 8 3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Medievalism at the Foundations Description An account of the resource This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource New Procession ushers in Slipper era Subject The topic of the resource Australian Parliament, Canberra, ceremonial robes, Chamber, House of Representatives, lobby, mace, medieval ritual, parliament, Parliament House, procession, public display, ritual, serjeant-at-arms, Speaker, weapon Description An account of the resource This article from the online edition of ABC News reports on a change in Australian parliamentary procedure. A longer and more formal procession from the lobby of Parliament House to the Chamber of the House of Representatives has been introduced by Peter Slipper (the Speaker) on Tuesdays, the article explains, so that visitors and members of the public are better able to witness the ceremonial opening of parliamentary proceedings. An image of Slipper, in his ceremonial robes, following the Serjeant-at-Arms and the official mace accompanies the article. The mace plays an important and symbolic role in the House of Representatives, as in the British House of Commons. The association of the mace with parliament most likely originates from the medieval period, when the King’s bodyguards, also known as serjeants-at-arms, were each armed with a mace. Gradually, the mace became associated with the customs and rituals of parliamentary ceremony rather than with its former use as a weapon.

Title A name given to the resource Queen wears Coronation Gown Subject The topic of the resource Australian parliament, coronation, Coronation gown, garter, heraldry, Order of the Garter, parliament, Parliament House, queen, Queen Elizabeth II, royal visit, Sash, St George cross, star Description An account of the resource During her first royal visit in 1954, Queen Elizabeth II opened the sitting of Australia’s federal parliament at Parliament House on 15 February 1954. As this photograph from the Western Mail shows, she wore her coronation gown and the sash of the Order of the Garter. ‘The Most Noble Order of the Garter’ is the highest order of chivalry in the British heraldic system. It was established by Edward III in 1348, and membership was limited to the sovereign, the Prince of Wales and twenty-four knights. Over time, the membership has been widened to make allowances for members of the British royal family and foreign monarchs. The star of the Order, containing the heraldic shield of the St George Cross encircled by the garter inside an eight-pointed star, is clearly visible on the Queen’s sash in this image. For more on the history of the Order of the Garter, see Stephanie Trigg, ‘The Vulgar History of the Order of the Garter’ in Gordon McMullan & David Matthews (eds), Reading the Medieval in Early Modern England, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007, pp.91-105.
