  • EAST INDIA COMPANY Straits Settlements Factory Records, 1769-1830 Reels M470-535
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT EAST INDIA COMPANY Straits Settlements factory records, 1769-1830 Reels M470-535 India Office Library 197 Blackfriars Road London SE1 8NG National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1960 HISTORICAL NOTE Under its charter, granted by Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600, the East India Company had a monopoly of all English trade in Asia and the Pacific. Its trading activities were initially focussed on the port and sultanate of Bantam on the western end of Java, where the Company established a ‘factory’ in 1603. Bantam was a major trading centre, particularly for pepper, and also for exotic spices from Ambon and other eastern islands, silks and porcelain from China, scented woods and Indian textiles. The Dutch East India Company also founded a trading factory at Bantam in 1603 and, after years of conflict and competition, it forced the English company out of Java in 1682. In 1685, however, the East India Company succeeded in setting up a factory at Bencoolen on the south-west coast of Sumatra and it was to be a major source of pepper for the next century. It was transferred to Dutch rule in 1825. In the late seventeenth century the interest of the Company shifted to India. Trading posts were established at Surat (1619), Madras (1639), Bombay (1668), and Calcutta (1690). The factories developed into forts: Fort William (Calcutta), Fort St George (Madras) and Bombay Castle. Surat was the Company’s first presidency in India, but by the early eighteenth century the presidencies, each with their own army, were Bombay, Madras and Calcutta.

  • PENANG MUSEUMS, CULTURE and HISTORY Abu Talib Ahmad
    Kajian Malaysia, Vol. 33, Supp. 2, 2015, 153–174 PENANG MUSEUMS, CULTURE AND HISTORY Abu Talib Ahmad School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia, MALAYSIA Email: [email protected] The essay studies museums in Penang, their culture displays and cultural contestation in a variety of museums. Penang is selected as case study due to the fine balance in population numbers between the Malays and the Chinese which is reflected in their cultural foregrounding in the Penang State Museum. This ethnic balance is also reflected by the multiethnic composition of the state museum board. Yet behind this façade one could detect the existence of culture contests. Such contests are also found within the different ethnic groups like the Peranakan and non-Peranakan Chinese or the Malays and the Indian-Muslims. This essay also examines visitor numbers and the attractiveness of the Penang Story. The essay is based on the scrutiny of museum exhibits, museum annual reports and conversations with former and present members of the State Museum Board. Keywords: Penang museums, State Museum Board, Penang Story, museum visitors, culture and history competition INTRODUCTION The phrase culture wars might have started in mid-19th century Germany but it came into wider usage since the 1960s in reference to the ideological polarisations among Americans into the liberal and conservative camps (Hunter, 1991; Luke, 2002). Although not as severe, such wars in Malaysia are manifested by the intense culture competition within and among museums due to the pervasive influence of ethnicity in various facets of the national life. As a result, museum foregrounding of culture and history have become contested (Matheson- Hooker, 2003: 1–11; Teo, 2010: 73–113; Abu Talib, 2008: 45–70; 2012; 2015).

  • The Contribution of Historic Urban Spaces in Influencing the Character of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, Malaysia
    The Sustainable City VIII, Vol. 2 1191 The contribution of historic urban spaces in influencing the character of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, Malaysia C. A. Rohayah, S. Shuhana & B. S. Ahmad Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia Abstract This paper examines the significance of the historic urban spaces in influencing the character of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) by analyzing the perception of the residents towards the character of the heritage sites. George Town was the first British port city recognized as having a unique architectural and cultural townscape that was inscribed together with Malacca as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. The multi-cultural character influences of Asia and Europe have created tangible and intangible elements that contribute to the character of the historic urban spaces. The significance of the historic buildings with unique its architecture and the urban pattern derived through their juxtaposition on the site has created unique spaces that characterized the George Town WHS. These rows of pre-war historic buildings enclosed the areas and create the planned or incidental urban spaces, which divided the area into several significant streets or spaces. The names of the street depict the historical significance of the area having a close association with the existence of different groups of the community. The findings suggest that the historic urban spaces play an important role in influencing the character of the WHS sites. Keywords: historic urban space, world heritage site, character, townscape. 1 Introduction George Town was the oldest British colonial town in South East Asia which represents the early development of British period at the end of the 18th C.

Introduction „Waterfront‟ in the context of towns and cities deals with the areas that are in direct contact with the water bodies. Malaysia‟s Department of Drainage and Irrigation defines the waterfront development as area within 50m or two lots of building from the banks (JPS, 2003)where the water is visually noticeable. An example of an edge as suggested by Lynch (1960) as one of the five elements that people use to structure the urban form. Paumier (2004) stated that waterfront areas as a vital assets where changes in transportation and economics have made land and buildings available for reuse. Waterfront regeneration is gaining momentum in urban regeneration that many cities around the world needed to bring back the abandoned or underutilised inner city harbours as a place to work, live and play. Many opportunities for successful redevelopment had emerged in rehabilitation of urban waterfront areas where the present trend sees recreation and tourism as a catalyst for redevelopment (Craig-Smith and Fagence, 1995). In the United States, Japan, United Kingdom, Caribbean and Australia, a set of principles and guidelines were used for the achievement of sustainable urban environments to be implemented.

  • Public Archaeology and the Physical Legacy of European Colonisation in South East Asia
    AUSTRALASIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 11, 1993 Public Archaeology and the Physical Legacy of European Colonisation in South East Asia KATRINA PROUST This paper investigates the potential for public archaeology to demonstrate the physical legacy of European colonisation in parts of South East Asia. The research was carried out for the degree of Master of Letters in public archaeology and cultural conservation at the University of Sydney.] Public archaeology is the area of cultural expression used in this paper to investigate the physical aspects of the colonial legacy in South East Asia. The colonial sites selected in this survey are in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Macau. Research concentrated on three main issues: how public archaeology can demonstrate the legacy of European colonialism; how public archaeology can demonstrate the attitude of present cultures to their colonial past; and the contri- bution from the public in the conservation of colonial sites in the region. The study comprises description of selected colonial sites with potential for archaeological investigation, the legacy left by different colonials powers, the legislative protection available for these sites, the level of public interest and support, and the problems which these sites encounter. The study focuses mainly on large national architectural features, rather than vernacular remains, because published material is available on the large sites. While it would have been interesting to investigate a series of, say, lesser known Dutch trading sites in Indonesia, on which a large body of Dutch literature exists, these publications have limited use to those who do not read Dutch. The term public archaeology, as used here, refers to Fig.

  • Historical Trails Through Singapore and Malaysia September 2011
    CONTENTS: INTRODUCTION & MAP DAY BY DAY SUMMARY OF THE TRIP PRICE & INCLUSIONS TOUR INFORMATION ITINERARY IN DETAIL ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION HISTORICAL TRAILS THROUGH SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA SEPTEMBER 2011 HISTORICAL TRAILS THROUGH SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA Malaysia's rich history has given it one of the most vibrant and multicultural societies in Southeast Asia and made it a must visit on many peoples travel plans. Tied in with some time to explore the similarly influenced but dramatically different Singapore, this tour has a focus primarily on the history and culture of the two countries. The impact of the spice trade is written all over Malaysia and Singapore, from the atmospheric streets of Malacca to magnificent Fort Cornwallis in George Town and visits to these two key UNESCO sights are included. Food is one the biggest draws to the area so we also make the most of the local hawker stalls and bustling markets in Kuala Lumpur. A stay in the Cameron Highlands gives a chance to soak up some of Malaysia's most beautiful scenery. The accommodation used reflects their locations; ranging from restored Chinese and Malay town houses in Malacca and Penang to a colonial retreat in the Cameron Highlands. An optional five night add-on in Langkawi is available at one of the best boutique hotels in the country, the beautiful Casa del Mar. An Audley favourite for years we are delighted to have secured rooms in this small and very popular beachfront property. CLIMATE Malaysia is a year round destination with slight variances in climate between the east coast and the west coast.
