1 8 2 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 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.

Title A name given to the resource Irish National Foresters' Regalia Subject The topic of the resource regalia, Irish National Foresters Organisation, nationalist, nationalism, Irish, Ireland, sash, friendly society, friendly societies, fraternities, fraternity, clover Description An account of the resource <p>The Irish National Foresters Organisation is a mutual aid society, which was established to help members in distress and the relatives of members who are deceased. It began in 1877 as a breakaway from the Order of Foresters, which was originally set up in England by medieval serfs. As they were not permitted to meet openly, their meetings were gathered in dense forest and they took names associated with forestry and applied them to their leaders (e.g. Chief Ranger, Assistant Chief Ranger, Woodward and Beadle).</p> <p>The I.N.F grew rapidly and soon became the largest friendly society in Ireland. It is non-sectarian, non-political and is not divided by class. The ideas of the society are exemplified in the Chief Ranger's address given at the new members initiation ceremony: 'be a true member to members in distress...remembering that...the time may come when you may acquire their assistance and sympathy in return' and 'do not forget dear old-Ireland; teach...those under your care to cherish the memory of her heroes and heroines, her patriots and soldiers...and those who have left behind them so many beautiful and lasting memorials of love of country.' Although it spread throughout the world the I.N.F. retained close-links with Ireland and was a strong supporter of Irish nationalism. To the extent that the constitution of the I.N.F. called for 'government for Ireland by the Irish people in accordance with Irish ideas and Irish aspirations.'</p> <p><a href="http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/items/250056/sash-irish-national-foresters-after-1877">http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/items/250056/sash-irish-national-foresters-after-1877</a></p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Museum Victoria Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Museum Victoria Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Museum Victoria Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Museum Victoria Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Hyperlink Language A language of the resource English clover fraternities fraternity friendly societies friendly society Ireland Irish Irish National Foresters Organisation nationalism nationalist regalia sash
