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 â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™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.

Description An account of the resource A view of Flinders Street Station, located at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street in Melbourne’s CBD. Flinders Street station was designed by architects James Fawcett and HCP Ashworth, who won a competition to re-design the station in 1899. Building commenced in 1900 and was completed in 1910. The architecture is often described as "Edwardian Free Style", which suggests a design featuring an eclectic mix of different architectural elements without favouring any particular style from the past (see Richard Apperly, Robert Irving, Peter Reynolds, A Pictorial Guide to Identifying Australian Architecture: Styles and Terms from 1788 to the Present, North Ryde, Angus & Robertson, 1989, p.139). However, the station architects described their design as “French Renaissance in a free manner”, which suggests rather that they did start with a particular Renaissance style in mind, into which they incorporated a number of other elements and influences, such as Art Nouveau (See the Victorian Heritage Database report at: <a href="http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;752" target="_self">http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;752</a>). The exterior of the station is constructed in red brick with yellow pressed cement decoration, while the interior also has a number of pressed metal features. A large dome, reminiscent of Brunelleschi’s fifteenth-century addition to The Duomo in Florence, adorns the roof of the station and is flanked on either side by a smaller cupola.

Title A name given to the resource Medievalism on the Streets Description An account of the resource This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations. It explores the ways in which medievalism was not simply derivative but also local and disctinctive. In this Collection you will find items relating to medievalism in public contexts and popular culture, and the revisitation or reenactment of the Middle Ages by groups such as the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Title A name given to the resource Wool Types in Australia Total 1,500 Subject The topic of the resource competition, marketing, medieval methods, sales, Sydney University, synthetic fibres, T. G. Hunter, wool, wool market, wool trade, sheep Description An account of the resource In this article about wool sales in 1952, Australiaâ€™s marketing methods are described as medieval. T. G. Hunter, a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Sydney University, is quoted advising that wool should be marketed in a few uniform grades (rather than by 1,500 different classification types) so as to counter the threat posed by uniform quality synthetic fibres. This change, although costly, is necessary, suggests the author, if the Australian wool trade is to maintain its sales volume. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.

This article from the West Australian informs readers of the competition’s outcome. It identifies Melbourne architects Rodney Alsop and Conrad Sayce as the winners, Donald H. McMorran from Harrow-on-the-Hill as the first runner-up and Gummer and Ford from Auckland as the second runner-up. The article reports that 51 designs had been considered by the panel, which was comprised of Professor Leslie Wilkinson, Professor of Architecture, Mr A. R. L. Wright, President of the Royal Institute of Architects of Western Australia and Dr Athelson Saw, the Chancellor of the University, and that they had particularly commended the general layout and the design for the great hall, the loggia and the tower in the winning design. The conditions of the competition had stipulated that the winner would be employed as the architect for the project unless the adjudicators in consultation with the Senators objected. During this discussion, Professor Ross asked what style the winning design represented. Professor Wilkinson is reported to have answered “it is in the style which our grandsons will call ‘Early Western Australian Renaissance’.”   Construction of the buildings began soon after, and Winthrop Hall was officially opened in April 1932. Alsop and Sayce began the project together, although Alsop was the senior architect and assumed responsibility for all correspondence about the project, but fell out in the process and Sayce left before the buildings were completed. One of their disagreements centred on Alsop’s replacement of the original clock tower with an Italian style campanile. For more information, see R. J.
