                  <text>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.</text>

                <text>This advertisement for a new building material, Celotex, highlights its dual properties of strength and insulation as a selling point. Drawing comparisons to past societies, the article suggests while the Aztecs and the Eskimos had built for insulation, medieval builders had turned their attention to strength. Unlike in these examples where building had focused on either insulation or strength, the advertisement promises that Celotex would enable modern builders to incorporate the benefits of both traditions, by offering the means to construct houses that would stay cool in summer, preserve warmth in winter and that were also notable for their structural strength and durability. </text>
