While a very few passbook accounts may still exist, this item is a great reminder of the days before the convenience we now enjoy. Emerald Museum was established as a formal collecting entity in 1969 based at the Emerald Hall, acquiring material by donation from local community members. In 1988 the former Shire of Sherbrooke with the help of State Government purchased the only remaining section of the former C. A. Nobelius & Sons Nursery (VHR place details ID/H2285). By the late 1980s the collection had been relocated to a shed on the former nursery. This collection included written records of the nursery’s operations that had been maintained throughout its ownership by the Nobelius family and L. Linton. However in the damp shed, the collection’s condition deteriorated. The nursery records received extensive conservation treatment to restore their condition and are now held as a complete collection at Emerald Museum. After the Emerald community lobbied extensively for a place to house their local heritage, the Shire agreed to construct a purpose-built facility within the former nursery where it has resided since 1993. The land was officially opened as the public ‘Nobelius Heritage Park’ in the same year.This item is significant to our collection due to the relevance of financial transaction data belonging to the Emerald Museum.Emerald History Museum's Depositor's Passbook, issued by Commonwealth Savings Bank of Australia.

JUGGLING Jugglers entertain audiences with their tricks and routines at events such as circuses, amusement parks, parties, shows on television or theatre, schools and parties. Juggles also compete at International Championships to obtain world records, performing as individuals or in groups or teams. Contemporary champion juggler David Cain performs a Juggling History ...This wooden juggling club or exercise club may also be referred to as a juggling pin. It is very similar in shape to a bowling pin or an Indian club. It dates approximately to the early 20th century. It may have been used as one of a pair for gymnastics or exercise, or part of a larger set used by a juggler for entertainment in a circus or carnival. At some time it may have been used with a ball or disc as part of a Skittles or bowling game set. The historical collection of Federation University Australia, Victoria, includes a very similar but slightly shorter club, labelled ‘timber skittle”, as can be seen in their photograph. Another example of very similar-shaped, same-sized clubs can be seen in the collection of Nobelius Heritage Park and Emerald Museum, Emerald, Victoria. JUGGLING Jugglers entertain audiences with their tricks and routines at events such as circuses, amusement parks, parties, shows on television or theatre, schools and parties. Juggles also compete at International Championships to obtain world records, performing as individuals or in groups or teams. Contemporary champion juggler David Cain performs a Juggling History Show that both entertains and educates his audience. His routines date from the early 1600s to the 20th century. He uses a wide variety of equipment in his acts including juggling clubs. EXERCISE Exercise clubs or Indian clubs were used in 19th century Victorian times as part of exercise or strengthening programs when they were swung in certain patterns and movements. Even in the early 20th century workplace a few minutes of Indian club swinging was common practice for the relief of tension. A video clip of an American school room in 1904 shows a group of boys and girls skilfully wielding clubs in an exercise sequence (see ‘Links” section). The 1904 and 1932 Olympic Games had an event called Club Swinging. Rhythmic gymnastics was added to the Olympic Program at the L.A. Games in 1984 where competitors use apparatus such as rope, hoop, ball, ribbon and clubs. The clubs come in a variety of weights and heights and have been used from the mid-1800s until around the 1930s in schools and military institutions. They are decorated in a variety of patterns and colours and some have feature lines or scored rings on them. This juggling club is significant for its association with education, entertainment and sport in the late 19th and early 20th century.Wooden juggling club (or pin, skittle or Indian club). Vintage, bottle-shaped club with a flat, slightly concave, base. Its turned, solid timber body tapers out from the base then in again to a very narrow handle with a round knob joined onto the top. Two concentric feature lines are scored into the wider part of club. It was possibly used in exercise, gymnastics or as a skittle. Sections of the club have two brown painted stripes; paint on the lower strip has been worn off at the base . There are remnants of white paint in two areas, possibly the remains of a maker’s name or decoration. There also appears to be an inscription stamped into the wooden handle but this is illegible.

Together with other Olive Hamilton material in the collection, the scrapbook has a high interpretive capacity, by contributing to the Museum’s purpose of presenting the stories of important individuals from the Emerald community throughout its history. ...The Victorian Amateur Cinema Society created this scrapbook for Mrs Olive Hamilton in 1954. Mrs Hamilton was an Emerald local who was an official photographer for the 1954 Royal Visit by Queen Elizabeth II. Mrs Hamilton (with the help of Mr Hamilton as film producer) created the ‘Vivat Regina’ film to document the 1954 Royal Visit. The film was shown by the couple around Australia for those to enjoy who could not experience the visit first-hand. After this film tour, the scrapbook was then gifted to Mrs Hamilton as a memento of the official events, dignitaries and audiences associated with the tour. On Mrs Hamilton’s death, this scrapbook, along with other associated material, was donated to the Emerald Museum.. Although scrapbooks are commonly found in museum collections, this is a rare example for its type, containing newspaper and magazine clippings of the 1954 Royal Visit that are not found in other collections. Together with other Olive Hamilton material in the collection, the scrapbook has a high interpretive capacity, by contributing to the Museum’s purpose of presenting the stories of important individuals from the Emerald community throughout its history. Scrap book contains a working record of the Hamilton's documentary making. The contents document the various screening venues, endorsements and accolades given to Olive (mostly) and William Hamilton. It should be noted that signatures of important persons are within this album.The scrapbook is of historic, artistic and social significance. It contains a record of Olive Hamilton’s working life as an official photographer of Queen Elizabeth II’s 1954 Royal Visit, an important historical event given Elizabeth II was the first reigning monarch to ever visit Australia. The scrapbook holds social significance as a record of the Royal Family’s importance to the Australian public at the time. This is demonstrated through the large number and types of places the scrapbook toured, as well as the diversity of people who contributed to the book. The scrapbook holds artistic significance by celebrating photography as an art form, in particular some of the many photographs taken by Olive Hamilton during the 1954 Royal Visit and on other occasions. It is also socially significant to the Emerald community as a record of the contribution to Australian history made by an Emerald resident.This hard cover scrapbook is bound in deep red velvet. It has 165 pages, several of which are bookmarked by yellow, red and pink ribbon. Its first page reads ‘in appreciation this book was presented to Mrs Olive Hamilton of Emerald by the Victorian Amateur Cine Society at the screening of Vivat Regina in appreciation of her services on behalf of the society, signed President, Secretary, 1954’. The scrapbook pages contain a mixture of ‘visitor book’ style accolades written in pen, along with newspaper clippings, invites and other cut outs that have been stuck on the pages using glue or tape.Front page: Victorian Amateur Cine.
