Christchurch City Books and pamphlets on the history of Christchurch are at 993.83 in the book and pamphlet sequences. To locate further information about the city area, refer to the Christchurch Inner City Resources. Christchurch suburbs For suburban information check the Suburban Resources. Christchurch street and place names For information on the history of Christchurch placenames and street names, see the library’s web resource, Christchurch street and place names. This resource is an alphabetical listing of local street and placenames, which includes information on the the origin of the name, biographical material on some of those after whom places are named, details of name changes, and lists of further sources. The database offers a huge repository of local history information on Christchurch City and its suburbs. Banks Peninsula and Lyttelton Books and pamphlets on the history of Banks Peninsula are at 993.84 in the book and pamphlet sequences; those for Lyttelton are at 387.1 and 993.84. For further information check the Banks Peninsula Resources and the Lyttelton Resources. The material noted in the resource lists is to get you started. There are also histories of families, clubs, organisations, sports clubs, businesses, the armed forces, and, for example, disasters. There are many sources you can search to find the information you are seeking. Books will generally be on the open shelves; pamphlets (Pamphlet) are kept in boxes on wall shelving. A few rare or valuable books, together with pamphlets published before 1960, are kept in the Research Room. You will need your Library card and must use these items in the Research Room. Bags etc will be placed in a locker, and only pencils may be used to make notes. Much of the material held in the Research Room is too fragile to be photocopied. Information files, unless otherwise stated, are held in ANZC. If you have difficulty finding any material, please ask a librarian. Newspaper sources Newspapers When researching local history, newspapers can be a useful source of information. In fact, sometimes they are the only accessible source of written information. This is particularly true for newer suburban areas and recent events. Newspapers can also be used for supplementary material and contemporary accounts. Newspaper holdings The library's holdings of Christchurch newspapers are extensive. Coverage extends as far back as the first newspaper printed in the Christchurch area, which was the Lyttelton Times, in 1851. All historical newspapers, including the illustrated Weekly Press and Canterbury Times, are held on microfilm in the Microfilm and Microfiche area of ANZC. Index access To enable researchers to locate information in the newspapers, the library has newspaper indexes covering the whole period from 1851 till the present day. The current index to The Press, dating from 2 January 1995, is an online database and is updated daily. An online index to the Star is available from 13 October 1998. For the pre-1995 period, there is a microfiche index available. This comprises a series of smaller indexes, usually covering a time scale of five years, for the years 1851 – 1953, and a continuous alphabetical index for the years 1954 – 1994. Subject searches The newspaper indexes to December 1994 are on microfiche, with the emphasis being on news of local interest. Entries are by subject, and entries for localities are frequent. Each reference indicates the content of the item, the item type (eg article, editorial, letter), and notes the date and page number of the newspaper. From January 1995 the index is on the Catalogue and is keyword- searchable: click on Papers. Access to the newspapers The library has microfilm readers, where the newspapers that have been microfilmed can be read. This helps preserve the original newspapers, many of which are in a fragile condition. Photocopies of articles can be made directly from these microfilms. Where microfilm is not available and originals have to be used, special handling techniques are necessary and photocopying is NOT permitted.

  • BISHOP BARRY JONES Barry Philip Jones Has Been the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch for Over Nine Years. He Will Be Rememb
    BISHOP BARRY JONES Barry Philip Jones has been the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch for over nine years. He will be remembered by us as a man of integrity, who filled the episcopal office with honour, who in demanding times gave sound leadership to the Catholic community, who was a respected representative of the Catholic Church in Canterbury and Westland and who has left a worthy heritage of faith, of priestly zeal and of Christian life. Back in the 3rd century AD, Hippolytus who was a theologian and a bishop wrote about what it means to be a bishop: He said “We are the successors of the apostles to whom it has been given to participate in their self same grace of priesthood and teaching and to be the guardians of the Church.” With Christ, the Lord, the apostles had been the founders of the Church. Aidan Nichols, an English Dominican theologian much appreciated by Bishop Jones once wrote: “The successors of the apostles, the Pope and the bishops do not ‘replace’ the apostles; they ‘ stand in’ for them. They ensure the presence of the apostles in the same ministry received from Christ.” A bishop has a threefold office which is essential for the Catholic Church. He is ordained for the office of sanctifying the faithful through the Mass and the sacraments, he is ordained for the office of teaching, handing on the faith revealed by Christ, he is ordained for the office of governing that part of the Church entrusted to him and with all the bishops under the Pope, he shares responsibility for the whole Church.

  • Upper Riccarton Cemetery 2007 1
    St Peter’s, Upper Riccarton, is the graveyard of owners and trainers of the great horses of the racing and trotting worlds. People buried here have been in charge of horses which have won the A. J. C. Derby, the V.R.C. Derby, the Oaks, Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, Auckland Cup (both codes), New Zealand Cup (both codes) and Wellington Cup. Area 1 Row A Robert John Witty. Robert John Witty (‘Peter’ to his friends) was born in Nelson in 1913 and attended Christchurch Boys’ High School, College House and Canterbury College. Ordained priest in 1940, he was Vicar of New Brighton, St. Luke’s and Lyttelton. He reached the position of Archdeacon. Director of the British Sailors’ Society from 1945 till his death, he was, in 1976, awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for his work with seamen. Unofficial exorcist of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, Witty did not look for customers; rather they found him. He said of one Catholic lady: “Her priest put her on to me; they have a habit of doing that”. Problems included poltergeists, shuffling sounds, knockings, tapping, steps tramping up and down stairways and corridors, pictures turning to face the wall, cold patches of air and draughts. Witty heard the ringing of Victorian bells - which no longer existed - in the hallway of St. Luke’s vicarage. He thought that the bells were rung by the shade of the Rev. Arthur Lingard who came home to die at the vicarage then occupied by his parents, Eleanor and Archdeacon Edward Atherton Lingard. In fact, Arthur was moved to Miss Stronach’s private hospital where he died on 23 December 1899.

  • The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative
    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.
