    UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY Women, Migration, and Madness A case study of Seaview Lunatic Asylum, 1872-1915 ‘This dissertation is submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA Honours in History at the University of Canterbury. This dissertation is the result of my own work. Material from the published or unpublished work of other historians used in the dissertation is credited to the author in the footnote references. The dissertation is approximately 9,975 words in length.’ Category One RENÉE JULIAN Supervised by Lyndon Fraser HIST480 2016 1 Abstract This dissertation examines the interconnections between migration, madness, and femininity through a case study of the women committed to Seaview Lunatic Asylum on New Zealand’s West Coast from 1872 to 1916. Psychiatric histories that include discussions of the effects that migrating to the goldfields can have on migrant’s mental health have been a recent development, although a number of these studies tend to focus on men. Moreover, while there have been studies of the connections between migration and insanity on nineteenth- century goldfields in Otago and Victoria, this has never been attempted for the West Coast. In order to bridge this gap, I examine women’s migration and mobility patterns during the West Coast rushes in addition to demographics within the asylum and the West Coast population to locate the Seaview women with the framework of broader cultural and societal trends. I then consider the ways which ‘social stressors’ and dominant attitudes towards femininity and ethnicity on the goldfields are reflected in women’s experiences of madness.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Tool and Instrument of the Military? The Operations of the Military Service Tribunals in the East Central Division of the West Riding of Yorkshire and those of the Military Service Boards in New Zealand, 1916-1918 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at Massey University David Littlewood 2015 i Abstract The Military Service Acts that implemented conscription in Great Britain and New Zealand during 1916 permitted appeals for exemption to a Military Service Tribunal or Military Service Board respectively. Although claims lodged on the grounds of hardship or occupation were by far the most common, historians have overwhelmingly focused on that distinct minority of individuals who cited conscientious objections. Furthermore, there has been no attempt to compare the structure, or the workings, of the exemption systems in these two countries. By employing a ‘British World’ approach, this thesis compares the operations of the Tribunals in the East Central Division of the West Riding of Yorkshire with those of the Boards across New Zealand. It investigates the relationship between the appeal bodies and their respective governments and militaries, to assess how far each claim was judged on its merits. It also analyses the appointment of personnel and the attitudes that the Tribunal and Board members adopted during their hearings.

James Gordon Wilson VIEWING: Sunday 30th April 11.00am - 4.00pm Monday 1st April 9.00am - 5.00pm Tuesday 2nd May 9.00am - 5.00pm The library of James Gordon Wilson (1882-1967) the noted farmer, historian reflects a passionate interest in the history of New Zealand, the Pacific and Hawke’s Bay province. Jim Wilson was born in Temuka, North Otago. In 1897 he moved north with his parents to Southern Hawke’s Bay when they took up land in the Dannevirke area. In 1907 Wilson brought “Nertherby” his much loved farm located At Hatuma near Waipukurau and lived there for the rest of What proved to be a long and extremely productive life. On a visit to the Dunedin Exhibition in February 1926 “I saw at Newbold’s book shop a beautiful copy of Tasman’s Journal. He wanted 10 pounds – I offered 9. Eventually in July I sent a cheque for 10 pounds and got the book. I well remember the thrill of opening the parcel – it has ever since been the ‘king of my collection’. On my way home from the Dunedin Exhibition I called at Smith’s bookshop in Wellington. On the counter were the 2 volumes in one of McKay’s Native Affairs of the South Island. I paid him 4 pounds 10 for it and was so worried about something I forgot to take it away.

  • 1 4.5 Community Activities Greymouth. the Grey River
    1 4.5 COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES GREYMOUTH. THE GREY RIVER HOSPITAL COMMITTEE At various times, members of the Gilmer Brothers business were involved in community activities which involved significant time and effort and without any remuneration. The question is the motivation. Did they volunteer because they were successful and contributing to the community was expected of them? Alternatively, were voluntary community activities an element of business strategy which contributed to the success of the business and enhanced the reputations of the individuals involved? These roles brought business and government connections, allowed their skills and expertise to be demonstrated, and the detailed newspaper coverage of the activities helped to build reputations with the wider community. To illustrate we will review in detail the role of Hamilton Gilmer on the Grey River Hospital Committee. GREY RIVER HOSPITAL COMMITTEE The Grey River Hospital was established in 1866 and Dr C Li Morice was appointed as surgeon superintendent. GW Moss, a businessman was the Chairman of the Hospital Committee znd the Secreatary was J Payne who was also the County Clerk. It was located in Guinness St which was then known as Hospital St. Dr Morice was succeeded as Surgeon Superintendent by his son Dr Charles Morice in 1894. He died in 1904. In Greymouth’s early days the Westland County Government was very slow to provide all kinds of government services. Much was left to the drive to the community to establish these especially where it was felt these services were essential. The Grey River Hospital was seen as one of these institutions. Hamilton Gilmer displayed an early interest in the Committee that had oversight of the operations of the Grey River Hospital.

Nature has endowed Westland with spectacular scenery, characterised by flowing icy glaciers like Fox and Franz Josef, rugged coastlines, bush-clad mountains, and crystal clear waterways encompassed by towering native forests. The district’s population is approximately 8,750, with 3,600 living in the main township of Hokitika. The rest of Westland’s population reside in the smaller townships spread throughout the Westland District. These settlements include the townships of Fox, Franz Josef, Otira, Whataroa, Ross, Harihari and Kumara. With State Highway 6 running right through the middle of the District, Westland is not only one of the main gateways to the West Coast, but is also one of the most scenic driving routes New Zealand has to offer. While the District shares it boundaries with eight neighbouring regions, this has made the District a key logistical route for freight and tourism. Although it contains a small population, Westland has a heritage of tenacity, innovation and progressiveness. The District’s economy continues to grow with the ongoing strength and growth of the agriculture sector, while tourism continues to expand, currently contributing $340m to the economy. Westland is home to some of New Zealand’s most spectacular weather and natural landscapes.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. ‘For Light and Liberty’ The Origins and Early Development of the Reform Party, 1887-1915 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at Massey University, Manawatu,¯ New Zealand Elizabeth Ward 2018 iii Abstract The Reform Party was one of the main political parties in New Zealand prior to the Second World War. Despite this, very little research has been conducted into its origins and growth as a party. This thesis examines that period of the Reform Party’s development, beginning in the late 1880s and ending with the formation of the National Government in 1915. It argues that a ‘reform’ identity began to emerge at the 1887 election and that in the 1890s the Opposition to the Liberals continued to refine ‘reform’ ide- als. Furthermore, the establishment of the National Association in 1891 provided the Opposition with an extra-parliamentary organisation. This meant that it was better organised than the Liberals, and not the disunited group that some have previously characterised it as. Although the Opposition had relatively good polit- ical organisation, it was unable to win an election during the 1890s because its political message did not resonate with the electorate. In the first decade of the twentieth century the Opposition transformed itself into the Reform Party, beginning with the formation of the Political Reform League in 1905, and then taking the name Reform Party in 1909.

  • Profiling New Zealand's Scots Migrants, 1840-1920
    FROM ALBA TO AOTEAROA: PROFILING NEW ZEALAND’S SCOTS MIGRANTS, 1840-1920 Rebecca A. Lenihan A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2010 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own work and has not been submitted in any form for a degree at any university or other institute of tertiary education. Information derived from the published and unpublished work of others has been duly acknowledged in the text. Rebecca Lenihan, January 2010 ii ABSTRACT While New Zealand has been described as more Scottish than any other country beyond Scotland, and Scots consistently made up nearly 20 per cent of the immigrant population of New Zealand to 1920, as a group New Zealand’s Scots migrants have remained relatively blurred. The distinctive national backgrounds of New Zealand’s British migrants have seldom been recognised in general histories or in specialist studies of migration to the country, migrants having tended to be categorised as ‘British’ and ‘Non-British’, leading to what Akenson aptly described as the ‘lumping of all white settlers into a spurious unity.’ This thesis, conceived as part of a larger research project investigating the experiences and contributions of Scots in New Zealand, seeks to establish key characteristics of the Scottish migrants arriving between 1840 and 1920. Five core questions are addressed: ‘from where in Scotland did they come?’, ‘who came?’, ‘when?’, ‘in what numbers?’, and ‘where did they settle?’. While previous studies have suggested partial answers to some of these questions, the present research offers a more full and detailed profile of New Zealand’s Scots migrants than has previously been available.
