1 8 1 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.

Title A name given to the resource MacLaurin Window, Nicholson Vestibule, University of Sydney Subject The topic of the resource Alfred the Great, Anglo-Saxon, James I/VI, Sir Henry Normand MacLaurin, MacLaurin Window, navy, New South Wales, Nicholson Vestibule, NSW, ship, stained glass, Sydney, University of Sydney, Viking, Wessex Description An account of the resource The MacLaurin Window was created in 1920 and can be found in the Nicholson Vestibule lighting the staircase. The window has a portrait of Sir Henry Normand MacLaurin, Chancellor of the University of Sydney from 1896 to 1914, flanked by James I (England) and VI (Scotland) (1566-1625), and Alfred the Great (849-899). Alfred was king of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex (roughly England south of the Thames) and his dynasty later unified England. Alfred is shown holding a warship, perhaps due to the notion that he was the father of the English navy due to the ships that he had constructed to help counter Viking attacks.
