This rug was a gift and gesture of friendship from the local Muslim community to the City of Greater Bendigo. It was presented to Mayor, Cr Rod Fyffe on behalf of the people of Bendigo at a 2016 'Thank You Bendigo' dinner. In 2014 approval for a planning application from the Bendigo Islamic Association to build a community centre and mosque in East Bendigo prompted a series of public protests that captured widespread media attention. During this tumultuous period the Council identified the need for a community-wide plan to promote diversity and help address potentially divisive cultural issues. These events led to the COGB becoming the first local government area (LGA) formally accredited under Australia’s Welcoming Cities Standard. Community leaders emerged who wanted to show that the anti-mosque protesters did not reflect the views of the majority of Bendigo residents. The community lead ‘Believe in Bendigo’ movement gained momentum, and the Council and other local organisations joined forces to present a unified message that Bendigo residents do not tolerate racism. Muslims have made Central Victoria their home since the Goldrush, contributing to the community and the economy for the past 120 years. Traditional Islamic rugs, especially their patterns and motifs are intrinsically linked with the design of the Bendigo Mosque and Bendigo Islamic Community Centre providing important points of reference for the architects of the project. Typically, mosques are linked with specific cultural groups but not in the case of Bendigo where the Muslim community is made up of multi-ethnic groups. This meant the building's design was not fixed to a specific style or cultural iconography but instead needed to encompass many. The small local Muslim community selected a specific Australian architect because of their interest and knowledge of Islamic design and iconography gained through family collection of Islamic textiles. In thinking about the design of the mosque and community centre the architects wanted to acknowledge the role of Afghans in Australian history, especially tribal Afghans who helped build connections across the interior of Australia between First Nations communities, European settlers and Central Asian migrants. The gift of this Turkmen rugto the Bendigo community thus symbolises collaborative partnerships across faith and cultural groups based on friendship and mutual benefit. A Turkman rug was specifically chosen as it is the pinnacle of nomadic arts of the Islamic world. It was also important to the architects and the local Muslim community that the gift was a female artistic product as it was mainly a female Muslim architecture team that designed the mosque in Bendigo and there was a desire to select something that celebrated female artistry. This hand-woven rug is an engsi, made for a woman in preparation for marriage. Design work and weaving is a shared experience, between many generations of women and each rug hold the personal story of the woman it is made for and her family and thus holds deep symbolic meaning. There are often songs and poetry that are recited as the rug is made – helping the makers to memorisze the mathematical structure of the design. An engsi is put on the doorway to a yurt as part of a wedding ceremony. During the ceremony the groom turns the engsii upside down to check the quality of the rug makers weaving skills. The nomadic lifestyle of Yomut Turkman tribes determines the size of the rug as the loom can’t be carried. Its size is also restricted by the dimensions of the doorway of the yurt. This rug is dated as c 1880 because of the types of patterns used, the use of natural dyes (synthetic dyes were introduced to the area in 1890s) and with the smoother weaving on the back indicating the quality of craftsmanship dating to this time period. The Yomut engsi rug was made in Turkmenistan c1880 by Yomut Turkmen Tribes people and is designed to fit over the doorway of a yurt during a wedding ceremony. The main field motif is related to Turkoman jewelery design. The women and girls of the tribe spin the wool and design and weave the rugs. The men shear the sheep, dye the wool and clip the rug after it has been woven. The word “Turkoman” is thought to have been derived from Turk-iman, meaning the first nomadic Turkic tribes that began to follow Islam. Dyes used are natural including orange from madder root. bendigo mosque, bendigo islamic association, city of greater bendigo community partnerships, city of greater bendigo community groups, cr rod fyffe

Paul Howard McGillivray (1834 - 1895) : In 1862, Paul Howard MacGillivray was appointed resident surgeon at Bendigo Hospital, succeeding Dr. Atkinson, a position he held until 1873.[ During this tenure, he managed patient care amid the rapid population growth and health challenges of the Victorian goldfields, where mining accidents, infectious diseases, and injuries were prevalent. His role involved overseeing surgical operations and general medical services for a burgeoning community, contributing to the hospital's development as a key institution in regional healthcare. MacGillivray's surgical expertise was particularly evident in his focus on hydatid cysts, a common affliction in colonial Australia due to environmental factors. He authored three papers on the subject between 1865 and 1872, published in medical journals, which detailed innovative management techniques including excision methods and post-operative outcomes. These works emphasized conservative approaches alongside surgical intervention, drawing from cases encountered at Bendigo Hospital, and helped advance local understanding of the disease's treatment. In 1873, following the end of his hospital appointment, MacGillivray transitioned to independent private practice in Bendigo, establishing a solo operation that catered to the mining community's medical needs. This shift allowed him greater flexibility in serving patients affected by occupational hazards and chronic conditions, building on his foundational experience in Williamstown. His practice quickly gained prominence for reliable surgical care in the region. Paul Howard McGillivray died in Bendigo on 9th. July, 1895, at his residence on the corner of Forest and Rowan Streets. https://grokipedia.com/page/paul_macgillivrayHand written certificate of appreciation presented to P. H.

Dr Michele Matthews has been a local and social historian for nearly three decades since she first used correspondence held by the then Bendigo City Council for her Honours thesis. She is an ardent advocate for the use of local history records to tell Victorian and Australian history from a grassroots perspective. Michele’s MA thesis, ‘A forgotten “Father” of Federation: Sir John Quick 1852‑1911’ (2003), and her PhD thesis, ‘Survivors, schemes, Samaritans and shareholders: the impact of the Great Depression on Bendigo and District 1925‑1935’ (2007), both drew heavily on Bendigo and district records. Michele Matthews Collection: PHD Research - Requests for support from older bendigo Residents This item includes the following documents: 8672.32a Letter outlining her PHD research and seeking input from older Bendigo Residents - Letter folder with sticky note attached 8672.32b The document is a letter written in January 2004 by Michele S. Matthews, a PhD student, inviting members of the Bendigo community to participate in her doctoral research. Her study focuses on the economic depressions of the 1890s and the 1930s in Bendigo and the surrounding district, with particular emphasis on understanding how these events affected the everyday lives of ordinary people. Matthews explains that, because the 1930s Depression occurred within living memory, she hopes to interview elderly residents who can recall the years 1929–1935. She outlines several criteria for participants, including being born between 1918 and 1925 (or earlier if they have clear memories), having lived in Bendigo or within a 50-kilometre radius during the Depression, and having parents who held a home or business loan with the Bendigo, Sandhurst, or Star Building Societies. To establish her credibility, Matthews describes herself as a Bendigo local and experienced historian who had worked in the field for approximately twenty years. She highlights her previous research on Bendigo’s contributions to Federation and Sir John Quick, as well as her employment as an in-house historian for both the Bendigo City Council and Bendigo Bank. She also notes her contributions to the Interpretive Centre and the Making a Nation exhibition. The letter concludes by stating that the history of the two depressions in Bendigo has never been thoroughly examined and that the memories of older residents would be invaluable to the project. Matthews encourages interested individuals to contact her by telephone, expressing her hope that their personal experiences will help preserve an important part of Bendigo’s history. 8672.32c The handwritten letter asks a newspaper or advertiser to help find interview participants for PhD research on Bendigo during the depressions of the 1890s and 1930s. The researcher wants to study how those periods affected ordinary people’s daily lives, especially because the 1930s Depression had not previously been examined in detail locally. Proposed interviewees should: Have been born roughly between 1918 and 1923. Have a clear memory of the period. Have lived in Bendigo, or within about 50 km, during the Depression. Have had parents who owned a home or business in areas including Bendigo, Sandhurst, or nearby districts. The writer also notes strong personal and professional ties to Bendigo, including years of residence, research on Sir John Quick, and work connected with the Bendigo City Council and Bendigo Bank. Marginal notes suggest revisions to the date range and wording before publication. 8672.32d Letter to the newspaper editor based on the above. 8672.32e The two page type written document is a PhD thesis proposal titled “How Depressing?: The Impact of the 1890s and Great Depressions on Bendigo and District.” It outlines a comparative historical study of how the economic depressions of the 1890s and the 1930s affected the Bendigo region, with a focus on their social, economic, and community impacts. The research seeks to determine whether the effects of the two depressions were similar or different, identify the factors that shaped those experiences, and explore what local people remembered about the 1930s Depression. 8672.32f The three page type-written document outlines a proposed thesis examining the social, economic, and political impacts of the Great Depression in Bendigo between 1925 and 1935. It is organised into nine chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of life during the Depression, with a particular emphasis on the role of the Bendigo Benevolent Asylum and the experiences of ordinary people. 8672.32g Photo of Floppy Disk 3.5 inches possibly an outline of Michele's PHD bendigo, michele matthews collection, ywca
