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 - Bendigo Soldiers' Memorial Opening Booklet This item includes the following document: 8672.36a The document is a commemorative booklet produced for the opening of the Bendigo Soldiers' Memorial Hall (later the Soldiers' Memorial Institute) on 15 November 1921. It celebrates the completion of the memorial building, honours the service and sacrifice of Bendigo soldiers in the First World War, and outlines the role of the Returned Soldiers' Association (RSA) and associated community organisations. The booklet also includes the opening ceremony programme, photographs of officials, a concert programme, and advertisements from local businesses supporting returned servicemen. The opening message explains that the Memorial Hall was built by the citizens of Bendigo as a permanent tribute to local soldiers who served in the Great War. More than simply a meeting place, it was intended as a lasting monument to the courage and sacrifice of those who fought and died, while also serving as a practical centre for returned servicemen. The building, erected at considerable public expense, was designed to stand as a reminder to future generations of the cost of freedom and the gratitude owed to those who served. The booklet describes the hall's extensive facilities, noting that its rooms were furnished through donations from patriotic organisations and comfort funds throughout Bendigo and Victoria. These included committee rooms, reading and writing rooms, billiard facilities, lounges, and a large public hall capable of seating approximately 500 people. Responsibility for maintaining and developing the building was entrusted to the Returned Sailors' and Soldiers' Imperial League of Australia (RSSILA), ensuring it remained a centre for veterans' welfare and community life. A detailed programme outlines the official opening ceremony. Events included the Governor of Victoria inspecting the guard of honour, speeches by civic and military leaders, the formal presentation of the hall keys, patriotic music performed by schoolchildren, and inspections of the building. The ceremony concluded with a band performance and afternoon tea, highlighting both the ceremonial significance of the occasion and the community's involvement in celebrating the new memorial. Several pages are devoted to the history and achievements of the Returned Soldiers' Association. Founded during the First World War to support wounded and returning servicemen, the Association expanded into a powerful advocacy organisation, helping veterans secure pensions, land settlement opportunities, employment, and other government entitlements. The booklet stresses that the League was non-political and non-sectarian, encouraging comradeship among former soldiers while protecting their interests and supporting their families. It also lists the office-bearers of the Bendigo branch and describes its ongoing welfare work. The publication also highlights the work of the Diggers' Business Association, established to promote businesses owned by returned servicemen and encourage the public to support them. Beyond commercial advocacy, the Association organised charitable fundraising events, concerts, exhibitions, and visits to returned soldiers' homes, demonstrating its commitment to both economic assistance and community service. The booklet praises its energetic leadership and encourages public support for its activities. In addition to historical information, the booklet contains photographs of prominent RSA officials and office-bearers, reflecting the leadership behind the memorial project and veterans' organisations in Bendigo. A programme for an evening concert performed by the Ballarat Diggers' Band illustrates the celebratory nature of the opening festivities, while numerous advertisements from local businesses—many owned by returned servicemen—show the strong connection between the memorial, the local economy, and post-war community rebuilding. Overall, the booklet serves both as a historical record of the opening of the Bendigo Soldiers' Memorial Hall and as a statement of the city's commitment to remembering the sacrifices of its servicemen. It reflects the broader post-war movement across Australia to create memorials that honoured the fallen while providing practical support, fellowship, and opportunities for returned soldiers as they reintegrated into civilian life.bendigo, michele matthews collection, rsl, soldiers' memorial institute -
