walata tyamateetj: a guide to government records about Aboriginal people in Victoria
No full textPreface
A joint guide to government records about Aboriginal people held in Victoria was first published by the National Archives of Australia and Public Record Office Victoria in 1993, during the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People. This guide, called My Heart is Breaking, was subsequently reprinted in 1994 and again in 1997 following Bringing Them Home: Report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families.
The records listings originally compiled by Ian MacFarlane and Myrna Deverall have provided the groundwork for this new publication. Demand continues for a guide that assists both the Koorie community and other researchers to access records from Victorian government agencies that relate to Aboriginal people.
walata tyamateetj includes information about Victoria’s Aboriginal records through a comprehensive listing of records, and provides an opportunity to publish a guide to the records in both hard copy and electronic formats. Uniquely for Victoria, the records created by the many Victorian government agencies overseeing the administration of Aboriginal affairs have become part of the collections held by both Public Record Office Victoria and the National Archives of Australia.
The collection was separated due to an administrative change of responsibility for Aboriginal affairs from the State to the Commonwealth in 1975. This guide highlights the wealth of material about Aboriginal Victorians that can be found within government archives, and assists researchers to access these records, regardless of which archive they are currently in. walata tyamateetj is one of many joint initiatives between Public Record Office Victoria and the National Archives of Australia to raise awareness of available resources for Aboriginal Victorians and to improve access to government records about Aboriginal people, families, communities and culture.
Much has been achieved in the years since the first guide to records was published 20 years ago. In 2004 a joint Koorie Reference Officer role was created to work across both organisations. The role is now a focal point for the provision of services to the Aboriginal community and part of a small team known as the Koorie Records Unit, which was established within the corporate structure of Public Record Office Victoria with a view to continuing cooperation with the National Archives of Australia.
The creation of a shared reading room facility at the Victorian Archives Centre has also been emblematic of the broader cooperation between the two organisations. The Victorian Archives Centre in North Melbourne provides a central place to access and research the records listed in this guide. Other collaborations between the National Archives of Australia’s Melbourne office and Public Record Office Victoria to promote and improve accessibility to records relating to Aboriginal people held by government and other organisations include publications, workshops and training, and grants programs targeted at highlighting and raising awareness of the rich collection of Aboriginal resources available in Victoria. The Victorian Koorie Records Taskforce provided leadership for many of these initiatives between 2001 and 2011

Victoria Police mental health review
No full textOverview
The Victoria Police Mental Health Review is an independent review into the mental health and wellbeing of Victoria Police employees.
The 90-page review highlights a need for change in the culture of Victoria Police to eradicate the stigma attached to mental illness and help seeking. It also highlights a need for greater access to mental health literacy and support services for Victoria Police employees during and after their careers, as well as for their families.
The review was led by Clinical and Organisational Psychologist, Dr Peter Cotton, and was supported by Peter Bull (retired superintendent), Nancy Hogan (senior healthcare executive) and Maryanne Lynch (senior research consultant).
Together the review team received over 450 contacts from individuals and groups; including employees of all levels across the organisation and their families, as well as former employees and their families.
From these submissions the review team critically examined how Victoria Police can best deliver wellbeing services to support employees throughout their career and into their post-Victoria Police lives.
Key recommendations include increased education and training around mental health, greater focus on welfare of employees by leaders and enhanced services for members, retired members and their families

Thomae Ludovico de Victoria. Motecta que partim quaterim (Venecia, 1572)
No full textLa Nueva Edición Victoria (NEV) conjuga edición crítica y funcionalidad práctica. Se presentan con una cuidada estética y en open access alojada en el Centro de Estudios Tomás Luis de Victoria (CEV). Este volumen es resultado de la colaboración entre Soterraña Aguirre -también coordinadora de la NEV- y Joao Figueiredo, ganador de la beca Abvlensis, auspiciada por el festival que le da nombre. Se ocupa de las 14 obras a 4 voces recogidas en la edición princeps de Tomás Luis de Victoria de 1572. Su aparato crítico, en bilíngüe -español e inglés-, informa que se toma como fuente matriz la citada, sirviendo los restantes impresos de época como testimonios complementarios; una perspectiva interesante. Se ofrece, así mismo, un estudio de los textos de los motetes que aporta significativas pruebas en relación a la cronología de creación de algunos de ellos. Cada motete está precedido también de su propio comentario crítico dedicado a consignar las variantes musicales y textuales; la edición de su texto y su traducción a tres idiomas, así como otra serie de informaciones referentes a su localización litúrgica, tono, etc.
Abstract:
The New Victoria Edition (NEV) combines critical editing and practical functionality. They are presented with a careful aesthetic and in open access hosted by the Centro de Estudios Tomás Luis de Victoria (CEV). This volume is the result of a collaboration between Soterraña Aguirre -also coordinator of the NEV- and Joao Figueiredo, winner of the Abvlensis grant, sponsored by the festival of the same name. It deals with the 14 four-voice works collected in the 1572 edition princeps of Tomás Luis de Victoria. Its critical apparatus, in bilingual -Spanish and English-, informs that it takes the aforementioned edition as the main source, with the remaining printed works of the period serving as complementary testimonies; an interesting perspective. A study of the texts of the motets is also offered, which provides significant evidence regarding the chronology of the creation of some of them. Each motet is also preceded by its own critical commentary dedicated to the musical and textual variants, the edition of its text and its translation into three languages, as well as other information regarding its liturgical location, tone, etc.Creada para ser consultada en tlvictoria.uva.esFestival Internacional de Música Antigua «Abvlensis
