In this MAQ we're looking at just about a private museum, or one where the volunteers who run it are also some of the many ways in which museums work collectors? Conflicts of interest in such cases could be hard to reconcile with with, and matter to, people. the principles of the CoE. At MA's AGM this April, members agreed to add a new category of 'Affiliate' membership for museums "which are unable fully Museums Aotearoa is all about people – the to subscribe to the Code of Ethics."

He tāngata! He First, from the governance level down, commit tāngata! He tāngata! What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! to a shared vision – a distant objective that is It is people! It is people! understood and held in common. Whatever the enterprise, it is people who make it work, whether paid or Secondly, shun private agendas, be wary of volunteering. Publicly-funded museums are social businesses, where the autocratic decision-making – one person rarely people who work in them create public value. Since everyone knows what has all the answers all the time. we cost, it is literally vital to our sustainability that the people in museums communicate the value that is added. Thirdly, reduce the risk of hero-worship – value people equally; everyone is a co-leader, right? Elected Councillors, Council officials and the rate-paying public have a right to expect transparency, openness and economy. In return for their investment, Fourthly, think of succession and plan for burden- they also expect relevance to the locality, connection with its communities sharing in the event of unforeseen absence or and inspiration for a better future. We all have a part in shaping the story and departure. leading the process of sharing it. Fifthly, work for a no-blame culture – mistakes There is a common misapprehension that leadership comes solely from the happen, risks need to be taken – when things go top; that a person at the apex of a museum articulates the vision and sells wrong, stay calm; learn from them. the successes, achievements and value. In reality, the key leader creates the conditions, sets the pace and enables people elsewhere in the organisation Sixthly, apply training and development at all to do their jobs. Then, as one, the people can feel able to communicate their levels – we are never too old to learn. passion for their work. By inference, all of the people in a museum are leaders with a function to draw on the vision, develop the theme, create the narrative Finally, communicate value in terms that people and communicate the public value of their activities. outside can understand – with enthusiastic clarity; no jargon and no acronyms Being co-leaders is a multilateral responsibility, of course! The right to lead brings the obligation to do so with integrity. An expectation that everyone has The objective is simply to communicate what it is a leadership role leads to a necessity for everyone to know what it is they are co- we all do that drives our passion; that enriches lives leading.

  • The Colonial Reinvention of the Hei Tiki: Pounamu, Knowledge and Empire, 1860S-1940S
    The Colonial Reinvention of the Hei Tiki: Pounamu, Knowledge and Empire, 1860s-1940s Kathryn Street A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui 2017 Abstract This thesis examines the reinvention of pounamu hei tiki between the 1860s and 1940s. It asks how colonial culture was shaped by engagement with pounamu and its analogous forms greenstone, nephrite, bowenite and jade. The study begins with the exploitation of Ngāi Tahu’s pounamu resource during the West Coast gold rush and concludes with post-World War II measures to prohibit greenstone exports. It establishes that industrially mass-produced pounamu hei tiki were available in New Zealand by 1901 and in Britain by 1903. It sheds new light on the little-known German influence on the commercial greenstone industry. The research demonstrates how Māori leaders maintained a degree of authority in the new Pākehā-dominated industry through patron-client relationships where they exercised creative control. The history also tells a deeper story of the making of colonial culture. The transformation of the greenstone industry created a cultural legacy greater than just the tangible objects of trade. Intangible meanings are also part of the heritage. The acts of making, selling, wearing, admiring, gifting, describing and imagining pieces of greenstone pounamu were expressions of culture in practice. Everyday objects can tell some of these stories and provide accounts of relationships and ways of knowing the world. The pounamu hei tiki speaks to this history because more than merely stone, it is a cultural object and idea.

  • Components of the Nomination Form
    Section 1: Summary Provide a brief summary describing the documentary heritage, how it meets the criteria for the New Zealand Memory of the World Register, and the main arguments in support of its nomination. It is important to summarise the essential information so that a number of people can quickly understand it. Please keep your summary to no more than 1 page. Charles Brasch : Literary and Personal Papers Charles Orwell Brasch (1909-1973) was a poet, editor and patron of the arts who played a key role in the development of a distinctive New Zealand literary and arts culture. He was the founding editor of the literary journal Landfall and gave professional and personal support to many New Zealand writers and artists. His generosity to Dunedin collecting institutions and in supporting the foundation of the University of Otago’s Arts Fellowships has ensured that his influence on arts development continues. When the 25 linnear metres of his literary and personal archive were opened in 2003 (30 years after his death) the significance of his legacy began to be appreciated. His papers are regularly mined by researchers interested in all aspects of New Zealand’s cultural life. The primary historical and cultural significance of these papers lies in their comprehensive documentation of New Zealand’s mid twentieth century literary and artistic history. Brasch corresponded with and supported many of New Zealand’s well known writers and artists. He founded the influential New Zealand literary quarterly Landfall in 1947 and edited it until 1966. As a patron and as editor of Landfall he played a pivotal role in the development of the arts through the 1950s and 1960s.
