  • Life Stories of Robert Semple
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. From Coal Pit to Leather Pit: Life Stories of Robert Semple A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a PhD in History at Massey University Carina Hickey 2010 ii Abstract In the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Len Richardson described Robert Semple as one of the most colourful leaders of the New Zealand labour movement in the first half of the twentieth century. Semple was a national figure in his time and, although historians had outlined some aspects of his public career, there has been no full-length biography written on him. In New Zealand history his characterisation is dominated by two public personas. Firstly, he is remembered as the radical organiser for the New Zealand Federation of Labour (colloquially known as the Red Feds), during 1910-1913. Semple’s second image is as the flamboyant Minister of Public Works in the first New Zealand Labour government from 1935-49. This thesis is not organised in a chronological structure as may be expected of a biography but is centred on a series of themes which have appeared most prominently and which reflect the patterns most prevalent in Semple’s life. The themes were based on activities which were of perceived value to Semple. Thus, the thematic selection was a complex interaction between an author’s role shaping and forming Semple’s life and perceived real patterns visible in the sources.

  • An Historical Survey of the Establishment of an Orchestral Tradition in Christchurch to 1939
    AN HISTORICAL SURVEY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ORCHESTRAL TRADITION IN CHRISTCHURCH TO 1939 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the University of Canterbury by Philip Jane University of Canterbury 2009 ii Abstract This dissertation is the first study devoted solely to the history of an orchestral tradition in Christchurch. Within a timeframe stretching from the beginning of the local settlement to the establishment of the first “national” orchestra in 1939, it provides detailed portrayals of all facets of amateur and professional orchestral activity. This includes the histories of all orchestral bodies, their membership, a chronology of concerts, repertoire, programme structure and critical reception. This dissertation explains the advance of orchestral tradition that is at times tentative and at times bold, until it is securely entrenched as a mainstream musical activity in Christchurch. A preliminary narration, which begins in 1857, ends in 1906 with the International Exhibition. This is then discussed as a landmark event for orchestral music in Christchurch. A series of case studies for the period of 1908 to 1939, covers each of the five major orchestral groups that flourished in this period. The case studies also include the footprints of development, the “incidental” music performed by the cinema orchestras, and the “studio only” performances of many broadcasting groups. The role played by minor orchestral groups as an “alternative” music culture is included, along with the impact of orchestras associated with visiting opera companies. The final section is a detailed analysis of the repertoire and programme construction, and a discussion of the people who played an influential role in the development of an orchestral tradition.

A CITY FOR ALL SEASONS A CASE STUDY OF URBAN PLACE PROMOTION by Andrea Schollmann Promoting cities as tourism de~tinations is seen as a way to enable growth. This promotion involves the projection of selective imagery to specific target groups and often includes the physical reshaping of places to fit a promotable image. Attempts to understand these processes have often focused on one of two approaches: a global perspective stressing the consumptive nature of the tourist gaze and the resultant commodification of place at the local level; and a local perspective emphasising difference and uniqueness. My thesis outlines an investigation into the promotion of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand.

Our Story – Wesley Church Fitzgerald Ave. Christchurch by W.A.Chambers 1966 FOREWORD The purpose of this little book is to help old members of Wesley Church to recall the cherished days of the past and to introduce new members and friends to the goodly heritage which they have received from those who have gone before them. The book does not set out to be an official history, duly audited and found correct; rather its aim is more modest. To give a read-able outline of 100 years of congregational life, and to highlight some of the 'good times', is all it seeks to achieve. Many people, ministers included, who have laboured faithfully at Wesley may not be mentioned. This is no mark of disrespect. There are some big gaps in the records, which up to the time of publication have not been filled. It may be that lack of records has led to such an omission.

  • Public Art in Central Christchurch
    PUBLIC ART IN CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH A STUDY BY THE ROBERT MCDOUGALL ART GALLERY 1997 Public Art In Central Christchurch A Study by the Robert McDougall Art Gallery 1997 Compiled by Simone Stephens Preface Christchurch has an acknowledged rich heritage of public art and historically, whilst it may not be able to claim the earliest public monument in New Zealand, it does have the earliest recognised commissioned commemorative sculpture in the form of the Godley statue by Thomas Woolner. This was unveiled in August 1867. Since that date the city has acquired a wide range of public art works that now includes fountains and murals as well as statues and sculpture. In 1983 the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, with the assistance of two researchers on a project employment scheme, undertook to survey and document 103 works of art in public places throughout Christchurch. Unfortunately even though this was completed, time did not permit in-depth research, or funding enable full publication of findings. Early in 1997, Councillor Anna Crighton, requested that the 1983 survey be reviewed and amended where necessary and a publication produced as a document describing public art in the city. From June until December 1997, Simone Stephens carried out new research updating records, as many public art works had either been removed or lost in the intervening fourteen years. As many of the more significant public art works of Christchurch are sited between the four Avenues of the inner city, this has been the focus of the 1997 survey the results of which are summarised within this publication.

  • The Story of Christchurch, New Zealand
    THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. JOHN ROBERT GODLEY, The Founder of Canterbury. THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH NEW ZEALAND. BY HENRY F. WIGRAM. CHRISTCHURCH: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY THE LYTTELTON TIMES Co., LTH I91B. 430 PREFACE. The story of the foundation and early growth of Canterbury was first told to me, bit by bit, more than thirty years ago, some of it by men and women who had actually taken part in the founding of the settlement, and shaping its destiny, and some by late-comers, who had followed closely on the heels of the pioneers. There were many people then living who delighted in talking of their strenuous life in the pioneering days, " when all the world was young," and in telling of events which are now passing into silent history. Many of the stories I heard then are still vivid in my memory, little episodes illustrating the daily life of a community which had to do everything for itself survey, settle, stock and till the land, build its own roads, bridges and railways, form its own religious, educa- tional, political and social institutions, and construct its own local government. It is no wonder that coming from the valley of the Thames, where the results of centuries of civilisation had come to be accepted as the natural condition of nineteenth century existence, I found the contrast interesting and inspiring. My wife and I were received with the kindly hospi- tality so typical of the time and country. Amongst our immediate neighbours at Upper Riccarton were many old settlers. Mr.
