In Perth, Western Australia, these are only two chapters of the SCA which are based in colleges.</p> <p>About the Society for Creative Anachronism and the Kingdom of Lochac (the Australian and New Zealand regional branch of the SCA): <br /> <br /> <strong>The Society for Creative Anachronism</strong> is an international organisation which focuses on the study and 're-creation' of Medieval and Early Modern cultures and their histories before the seventeenth century. As the prime example of a 'living history' group, members of the SCA aim to re-create the past through applying elements of historical knowledge to a practical engagement with Medieval and Early Modern crafts, martial arts, science, metalwork and cooking (for example). The Society was created by graduates of the University of Berkley in California in the 1960s and has since branched out to include 19 kingdoms, with over 30,000 members in locations across the globe.<br /> <br /> <strong>The Kingdom of Lochac</strong> is the regional branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism for individuals living in Australia and New Zealand. <br /> <br /> Information regarding <strong>the College of St. Basil the Great </strong>can be found at <a href="http://lochac.sca.org/basil/index.php?page=home">http://lochac.sca.org/basil/index.php?page=home</a></p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Carter, Bree Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 19 December 2010 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Digital Photograph Armour armour making armoury banner banners battle black swan chivalry costume costumes craft kettle hat Kingdom of Lochac knight knighthood knights medieval armour medieval craft metalwork Murdoch University Saint Basil Saint Lazarus SCA Society for Creative Anachronism St. Basil St. Lazarus Swan Swan banner tournament tourney University for Western Australia UWA WA Western Australia https://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/files/original/p1012322_822612899a.jpg 36cd3c558a84f07f2b007a0b524f0342 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

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.

Subject The topic of the resource Abbot, Benedictine monks, Benedictines, Catholic, Coat of Arms, crosier, cross, ecclesiastical heraldry, external ornaments, galero, hat, heraldry, insignia, lion, mitre, monastery, monasticism, monks, New Norcia, Order of St Benedict, patriarchal cross, pontifical hat, religious house, shield, swan, St Benedict of Nursia, vestments. Description An account of the resource <p class="MsoNormal">This coat of arms is displayed above the gates of the New Norcia monastery. The pontifical hat at the top, called a galero, has been a common motif in ecclesiastical heraldry since the fifteenth century. As a vestment, the galero dates to c.1245, when red hats were bestowed upon cardinals by Innocent IV. In heraldry it is used to symbolise church hierarchy; different colours and numbers of tassels denote different offices. The 6 tassels on either side of the shield in the New Norcia coat of arms signify that the monastery is overseen by a bishop. The mitre hat below the galero is the insignia of bishops and abbots. In this case, it most likely refers to the fact that the monastery is presided over by an abbot. Behind the shield, a cross and crosier in saltire are also common external ornaments on ecclesiastical coats of arms. On the shield itself, symbols identify the building as a religious house (the all-seeing eye with a cross and the word &ldquo;fides&rdquo;) and a male Benedictine community (the patriarchal cross bearing the Benedictine motto &ldquo;pax&rdquo;). The swan is emblematic of its location in Western Australia. For more on ecclesiastical heraldry, see Bruno Bernard Heim, <em>Heraldry in the Catholic Church: Its Origins, Customs and Laws, </em>(Van Duren, Buckinghamshire, 1978).</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>About New Norcia:</strong></p> New Norcia is a monastic town located 132 km north of Perth in Western Australia. The town is owned and run by a community of Benedictine monks and houses one of only three Benedictine monasteries (for men) in Australia. At its height the monastery housed approximately 80 monks, but currently there are only seven in residence. The Benedictines are part of a religious order within the Catholic Church known as the Order of St Benedict (OSB). Benedictines live in small, largely autonomous communities and base their way of life on the Rule of St Benedict, which prioritises a balance of prayer and work and calls for promises of stability, obedience and a conversion of life. The first Benedictine community was established in the sixth century in Italy by St Benedict of Nursia (c.480-547). <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Originally intended as a mission to evangelise and educate the indigenous peoples of the Victoria Plains, the site at New Norcia was founded in 1847 by two Spanish Benedictine missionaries, Dom Jos&eacute; Benito Serra and Dom Rosendo Salvado. Serra&rsquo;s involvement in the missionary activities at new Norcia decreased following his appointment as Co-adjutor Bishop of Perth in 1849, while Salvado (1814-1900) committed himself wholly to developing the mission and leading the monastic community. He subsequently became the key figure in the first 50 years of New Norcia&rsquo;s history. He made numerous fundraising trips to Europe, which provided him with the means to purchase books, vestments, artwork and equipment for the community and also to oversee the construction of new buildings. He died in Rome in 1900 and his body was returned to New Norcia. Under Salvado&rsquo;s successor, Bishop Fulgentius Torres (1861-1914), New Norcia became more like a traditional monastic settlement. An increased focus on education and artistic pursuits led to the establishment of two schools and improvements to many of the town&rsquo;s buildings.
