TO THE TEACHERS The Auckland Museum and Auckland City Council invite your students to help plan for Auckland’s future. Projects sent to the Museum will be used by the City Council as part of their strategic planning for the city. In addition you are also invited to send students’ letters or stories directly to the City Council. Contact Jim Fraser, Project Manager, Auckland City Council, Private Bag 92516, Wellesley St, Auckland. We encourage you to carry this out as a small group activity. Students can then choose which three projects from the class will be sent to the Museum, based on whether they feel the projects show a good vision of the future. Students should include a list of which issues they think are important and why. Look out for the 'Future Auckland' Education Kit. It will also be available at the launch of the ‘Future Auckland’ Display. This resource supports the Social Studies curriculum and provides teacher information about Auckland's history and possible futures. Also included are a range of classroom activities designed to raise students awareness of Auckland's past/future and gallery activities for use in Auckland Museum.

  • Quality of Life Report, 1Pm, Tuesday, November 27, 2007
    Joint media release from the Councils of North Shore, Waitakere, Auckland, Manukau, Rodney, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Hutt, Porirua, Christchurch and Dunedin. EMBARGOED UNTIL THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE REPORT, 1PM, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2007 QUALITY OF LIFE REPORT 2007: AUCKLAND CITY MEDIA RELEASE Auckland city offers a high quality of life and has strong population and economic growth – but also experiences pressure on infrastructure and housing, according to a national report out today. The 2007 Quality of Life report, released by the Metropolitan Sector Group today, provides a comprehensive assessment of the quality of life in 12 New Zealand cities, as part of a multi-council initiative. Mayor of Auckland city, Hon. John Banks, said the report highlighted the many positive features of life in Auckland city. “Auckland offers its residents a wealth of opportunities and residents clearly recognise this, with 91% of them rating their quality of life as good or extremely good. That’s a ringing endorsement for the city.” Auckland continued to experience strong population growth, recording a 10% increase between 2001 and 2006. The make-up of the city’s population was ethnically diverse and nearly two-thirds of Aucklanders felt positively about the impact of this increased cultural diversity. As well as strong population growth, the city also experienced economic growth, averaging 4.1% per year between 2001 and 2006. Mr Banks said the Auckland economy was thriving. “From 2001 to 2006, we had the highest number of new jobs and new businesses created of any city in New Zealand. Auckland is the country’s economic powerhouse and it’s good to see that this report demonstrates that the city’s economy is continuing to perform.

  • Pioneering History
    New Zealand Journal of History, 36, 1 (2002) Chris Hilliard Pioneering History NEGOTIATING PAKEHA COLLECTIVE MEMORY IN THE LATE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES* IN APRIL 1884 Thomas Hocken stood before a group of nearly 40 men who had gathered to establish the Early History Society of Otago. Hocken was known by his contemporaries as a 'gentleman who had always taken a great interest' in New Zealand's history.1 On this occasion he gave a speech designed to rouse interest in the foundation of Pakeha New Zealand: 'Whatever his nationality, the pioneer delights to record, and his successors to hand down, the minutest incidents of early history'. He hoped that the story of Pakeha origins, symbolized by the arrival of the immigrant ships Tory, Cuba, Wild Watcli, John Wicklijfe, Randolph and Cressy, would become 'as complete and full of interest' as the accounts of Maori or white American origins (with their well-known immigrant vessels the Arawa and Tainui or the Mayflower). He urged his audience to emulate the Historic Society of New York in 'raising from oblivion a thousand interesting details connected with the settlement... which but for such timely efforts must have been irrevocably lost.'2 Another founding member, the Rev. Dr D.M. Stuart, also spoke with a sense of urgency: 'For years he had advocated the formation of such a society'. His friend — old settler Mr Cutten — had recently died, taking much information on early Otago with him. However, J. Hyde Harris outdid both Hocken and Stuart with a remarkably long-standing intention to gather Otago's foundational history.

  • Inventory for John Logan Campbell Papers MS-51 Auckland Museum
    Inventory for John Logan Campbell Papers MS‐51 Auckland Museum Library Prepared by: Christina Troup, 1966/7; reconfigured by Mary Donald, 2005‐2013; amended and edited by Bruce Ralston, 2014‐ Date prepared: 26 May 2018. The collection currently known as the John Logan Campbell Papers (MS‐51) consists of five separate collections: 1. John Logan Campbell’s personal papers and his business enterprises ‐ these reflect both business and social history from the 1840s to 1910. There is also a section containing papers of wife Emma and daughter Winifred. 2. Cornwall Park Trust Board. Records. Cornwall Park management covering the period 1902 ‐ 1930s. 3. Winifred Humphreys (nee Campbell). Papers, 1910 ‐ 1930s. 4. Russell Stone. Photocopies of documents, a single original letter and donated from other sources. 5. Sir Colin Campbell. Includes JLC’s bible. Size 6.5 linear metres Date range 1806‐1975, primarily 1840s‐1930s Physical description Holograph Printed Plans Architectural drawings Photographs Provenance The Cornwall Park Trust Board deposited the first two collections in 1957. Winifred Humphrey’s papers were gifted from the Alexander Turnbull Library in the early 1960s. May 26, 2018 Professor Russell Stone and Sir Colin Campbell gifted the remainder in 1975. Earlier archival practice clumped like material; hence the collections are catalogued under the one manuscript number – MS‐51. One of the advantages of this ‘clumping’ was to facilitate use; it was easy to add to existing inventories. However, it is current archival practice to maintain the integrity of individual collections through provenance. Today collections are held in their own right and linked through catalogues, indices and finding aids.

  • Immigration During the Crown Colony Period, 1840-1852
    1 2: Immigration during the Crown Colony period, 1840-1852 Context In 1840 New Zealand became, formally, a part of the British Empire. The small and irregular inflow of British immigrants from the Australian Colonies – the ‘Old New Zealanders’ of the mission stations, whaling stations, timber depots, trader settlements, and small pastoral and agricultural outposts, mostly scattered along the coasts - abruptly gave way to the first of a number of waves of immigrants which flowed in from 1840.1 At least three streams arrived during the period 1840-1852, although ‘Old New Zealanders’ continued to arrive in small numbers during the 1840s. The first consisted of the government officials, merchants, pastoralists, and other independent arrivals, the second of the ‘colonists’ (or land purchasers) and the ‘emigrants’ (or assisted arrivals) of the New Zealand Company and its affiliates, and the third of the imperial soldiers (and some sailors) who began arriving in 1845. New Zealand’s European population grew rapidly, marked by the establishment of urban communities, the colonial capital of Auckland (1840), and the Company settlements of Wellington (1840), Petre (Wanganui, 1840), New Plymouth (1841), Nelson (1842), Otago (1848), and Canterbury (1850). Into Auckland flowed most of the independent and military streams, and into the company settlements those arriving directly from the United Kingdom. Thus A.S.Thomson observed that ‘The northern [Auckland] settlers were chiefly derived from Australia; those in the south from Great Britain. The former,’ he added, ‘were distinguished for colonial wisdom; the latter for education and good home connections …’2 Annexation occurred at a time when emigration from the United Kingdom was rising.

  • The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland
    New Zealand Population Review, 35:55-74. Copyright © 2009 Population Association of New Zealand The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland WARDLOW FRIESEN * Abstract The inner city of Auckland, comprising the inner suburbs and the Central Business District (CBD) has undergone a process of reurbanisation in recent years. Following suburbanisation, redevelopment and motorway construction after World War II, the population of the inner city declined significantly. From the 1970s onwards some inner city suburbs started to become gentrified and while this did not result in much population increase, it did change the characteristics of inner city populations. However, global and local forces converged in the 1990s to trigger a rapid repopulation of the CBD through the development of apartments, resulting in a great increase in population numbers and in new populations of local and international students as well as central city workers and others. he transformation of Central Auckland since the mid-twentieth century has taken a number of forms. The suburbs encircling the TCentral Business District (CBD) have seen overall population decline resulting from suburbanisation, as well as changing demographic and ethnic characteristics resulting from a range of factors, and some areas have been transformed into desirable, even elite, neighbourhoods. Towards the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty first century, a related but distinctive transformation has taken place in the CBD, with the rapid construction of commercial and residential buildings and a residential population growth rate of 1000 percent over a fifteen year period. While there are a number of local government and real estate reports on this phenomenon, there has been relatively little academic attention to its nature * School of Environment, The University of Auckland.

  • Te Rimu Tahi, Ponsonby Road Masterplan
    Te Rimu Tahi Ponsonby Road Masterplan - Maori Heritage Report June 2013 Ngarimu Blair for Auckland Council 1 1. Introduction The Waitemata Local Board and representatives from a number of community groups (supported by Auckland Council and Auckland Transport) are working together to develop a Master Plan for Ponsonby Road. The Ponsonby Road Master Plan will present a comprehensive blue print for improvement to the urban realm of Ponsonby Road over the next 30 years. The Master Plan will be prepared following a ‘complete street/ living arterial’ approach. The Master Plan is intended to facilitate the achievement of an urban realm that better meets the community's desired outcomes in the future. The Auckland Council commissioned this report on Maori heritage values and opportunities from Ngarimu Blair in order to better engage with relevant Iwi for the project area. The Iwi listed by Auckland Council for this project includes Ngati Te Ata, Te Aakitai, Ngati Whatua Orakei, Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua, Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Ngati Maru, Ngati Paoa and Te Kawerau a Maki. Specifically the brief for this report is; Background research to identify areas of past (pre-European) Maori Occupation, Use and activity within the Ponsonby Road Master Plan study area; Background research to identify the more recent history of Urban Maori activity within the Ponsonby Road Master Plan study area; and Preparation of a short report outlining the findings of this research, which specifically provides: (1) an historic context statement; (2) a short issues analysis that identifies high-level positive, negative, and neutral issues (with regard to cultural heritage) and gaps in information that could not be filled through research or within the timeframe; and (3) recommendations for preservation, protection or celebration of the cultural heritage.
