A Bibliography of the Avon Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai Compiled by Paul Corliss December 2006 “Formerly, the Kaiapoi Ngāi Tahu [Ngai Tuahuriri ] were the owners of Ihutai, an important fishing easement located in the New Brighton - Sumner coastline area. It was part of a much larger fishery or mahinga kai used by a number of specially designated hapū and whānau groups. The owners of these traditional sites were those of the Kaiapoi Reserve and their immediate descendants. The boundary of Ihutai was bounded by the shores of the Ōtākaro (Avon) and Ōpāwaho (Heathcote) rivers including the central railway station and to a point approximately known as Avonside Girls High School, across to the Cashmere Hills and then to Pukekai Kahu (Castle Hill). This also included all of the Heathcote Valley to the summit of Te Heru o Kahukura.” Sources: Alexander Turnbull Library Archives New Zealand - Te Rua Mahara o te Kawanatanga Bibliographies of all viewed entries Canterbury Central Library Canterbury Museum Archives Collection Canterbury University - Te Whare Wananga o Waitaha Cawthron Institute Charles Berridge, Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, Bibliography Project Christchurch City Council Christchurch Drainage Board Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology – Te Wananga o Otautahi Christchurch Star newspaper Department of Conservation Environment Canterbury/ECan Hocken Library Landcare Research Lincoln University - Te Whare Wanaka o Aoraki Lyttelton Harbour Board Manaaki Whenua Press, Lincoln Macmillan Brown Library Ministry of Works & Development Ministry for the Environment National Institute of Water & Atmosphere - Taihoro Nukurangi National Library - Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa New Brighton Library Personal Library Royal Society of New Zealand The Press newspaper Sumner Library Sumner Museum University of Auckland - Te Whare Wananga o Tamaki Makaurau Victoria University of Wellington - Te Whare Wananga o te Opoko o te Ika a Maui I acknowledge the support and contributions made by the following: Staff at Archives New Zealand, Christchurch; Eric Banks (Christchurch City Council); Simon Bardsley (ECan); Jenny Bond (ECan); Mike Bourke (Christchurch City Council); Mike Bradstock; Lex Calder (ECan); Tony Clay (Burnside High School); Ken Couling (Christchurch City Council); Alex Drysdale (AHEIT); Stephen King (ECan); Jason Kronig (ECan); Heather Holder-Lunn (Christchurch City Council); Alisdair Hutchison (AHEIT); Islay Marsden (Canterbury University); Jenny Ridgen (Christchurch City Council); Jim Robb (ex Christchurch City Council); Topsy Rule (Sumner Museum); Martin Ward (AHEIT); Chrissie Williams (AHEIT). An Ihutai Bibliography 2 The bibliography has been developed with the intention of providing access to estuary material by the widest possible audience - from scientists to community groups, from schools to environmental activists, from local body researchers to the merely curious. It has been produced by the cooperation of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, the Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury and has been supported by a Lottery Board grant. While the great majority of the material is specific to the estuary and its two major rivers, some more general books have incorporated on the basis of providing supportive texts for the broader Christchurch/Canterbury/New Zealand context of subject matter (historical, botanical, Maori, biological, geological, etc). In view of the range of potential users it gives some general pointers on key subjects of which their estuarine connection may only form part of their search. Geographical boundaries for material inclusion were set at 500 metres from the estuary edge, to the Woolston Cut on the Heathcote River/Opawaho and Bridge Street Bridge on the Avon River/Otakaro. This hasn’t prevented material derived from the catchment being included, but indicates that there is still further relevant material for inclusion, currently sitting outside the geographical limits initially set. The bibliography, which now has in excess of 1,200 entries, has been entered into a database which will be made available and is accordingly publicly accessible via the internet on the ECan and the AHEIT websites. Searches will be able to be undertaken by a variety of methods including: Author name, title, subject, general keywords, biological, physical and human components which are broken down into relevant keyword categories, and a range of location fields. Where available, web links are provided for entries that can be directly accessed on the internet. Record notes associated with each entry will generally, where known, contain an indication of where to access the actual title. Generally the following holds true: · An Environment Canterbury report or record number suggests that the entry is held at ECan, Kilmore St, Christchurch. · A Christchurch City Council report suggests that the entry is held at the Christchurch City Council, Tuam Street, Christchurch. Copies are often also available from the Christchurch Central Library or can be sought from their website. · An ISBN or DBCN number suggests that the entry may be held at the Christchurch Central Library, either the main stacks or the Aotearoa/New Zealand Room · A Thesis is normally held at the corresponding university library. · Although the subject of each entry has not always been specified in the tick boxes, the subject is often indicated by the title. Other sources (eg Archives New Zealand) are contained in the notes associated with the particular entry. This information and the contact details, postal, website and email addresses, phone numbers, etc are contained in the More information link on the front page of the website bibliography (and at the rear of this hard copy). Currently there are some 28 relevant organisations entered. A CD on the inside rear cover of this book, holds a copy of the Bibliography in Word Document format. It can be searched by simply scrolling the authors/organisation alphabetically or using the “Find” function in the drop down menu under the “Edit” facility in Word. Paul Corliss.
