Acquisitions since this guide was compiled are listed in the Acquisitions section of the Society journal (The South Australian Genealogist). The Society Library has a number of microfiche and microfilm (16mm and 35mm) viewers. Reader-printers are available for taking prints from the microform, both from microfiche and 16mm and 35mm microfilm. Staff assistance may be required where microfilm is involved. The cost of prints is currently $0.70 each. COPYING OF SOME RECORDS, OTHER THAN BY HAND, IS NOT PERMITTED. Records for which copying restrictions apply are: Ireland Index to 1901 Census Library staff will advise of any other records in this category. Abbreviations used in this guide are as follows: [16mm]/[35mm] 16 mm/35mm microfilm [mf] Microfiche B Birth Bapt Baptist BR Burial Register BL Leases (Burial) BT Bishops Transcripts C Baptism CMB Baptisms, Marriages and Burials CofE Church of England D Death I Index Ind Independent M Marriage MB Marriage Banns Meth Methodist MI Monumental Inscription ML Marriage Licenses Pres Presbyterian RC Roman Catholic Wes Wesleyan Chapman Codes are used for countries in the British Isles. 2 SECTION 1. - WORLDWIDE BIRTHS, DEATHS & MARRIAGES International Genealogical Index (IGI) [Births, Baptisms & Marriages] The IGI is an index, principally of births, baptisms and marriages, compiled by the Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU). Source documents have largely been civil registrations and church registers though many entries come from other sources including submission from members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Deaths are not included in the index while a small number of entries have been extracted from other sources e.g. census records. The 1992 microfiche edition of the IGI has approximately 187 million entries. Coverage varies greatly from country to country, and from county to county within a country. In some cases individual churches have not allowed their records to be included. The IGI is also available in the Society on CD-ROM and can also be accessed through the Internet at www.familysearch.com. Both these versions are more recent than the microfiche version. Events included generally range in time from the earliest church registers (1500's) to 1875. There are some entries which pre date the church registers, obtained from other sources, as well as some more recent than 1875, but they form a very small percentage of the total. The IGI is divided into countries, with many being subdivided into county/state/province. Within each subdivision entries are sorted alphabetically by name (surname then given name) then chronologically. Countries well represented include the British Isles (comprises about half of the index), Germany, the Scandinavian countries and United States of America. Many African and Asian countries have very few entries (often less than one microfiche). To use the IGI it is necessary to have a surname and country and, where the country has been subdivided into counties or states, a county. (This applies to Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, Ireland, Mexico, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, United States of America, Wales.) For many of the countries which have been subdivided there is a also a section labelled "County Unknown", containing entries for which the county or state could not be determined. Some of these entries have no locality reference whatever. There is also a Worldwide "Country Unknown" section and one for "At Sea". For countries where patronymics have been used have two sets of indexes - by surname and by given name. The major sections of the IGI are as follows: AFRICA ASIA CANADA by province CHANNEL ISLANDS EUROPE (Continental) Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Medieval States, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Yugoslavia 3 EUROPE (Southwest) Andorra, Gibraltar, Italy, Malta, Monaco, Portugal, Spain, Trieste. DENMARK by county, indexed by surname & given name ENGLAND FINLAND by county, indexed by surname & given name GERMANY covers the Germanic areas ICELAND indexed by surname & given name IRELAND ISLE OF MAN MEXICO by county NORWAY by county, indexed by surname & given name OCEAN ISLANDS Atlantic Ocean Islands & Indian Ocean Islands SCOTLAND SOUTH AMERICA SOUTHWEST PACIFIC Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Ocean Islands, Papua New Guinea SWEDEN by county, indexed by surname & given name UNITED STATES by state WALES by county (pre 1974 boundaries) indexed by surname & given name WORLD MISC.

    Opossum Hot Pot: Cooking at the Margins in Colonial New Zealand Lydia Wevers Fig. 1: “Open Hearth Cooking,” Kent Plantation House, photograph B. Hathorn, Wikimedia Commons When Mina Murray takes her friend Lucy Westenra for a long walk to tire her out in the– forlorn–hope of preventing her sleepwalking in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, they finish with a “capital ‘severe tea’ at Robin Hood’s Bay in a sweet little old-fashioned inn . I believe we should have shocked the ‘New Woman’ with our appetites,” the conservative heroine Mina remarks (85). Famous for her appetites, the New Woman represented everything nice girls should not be: sexually active, even, as Mina notes, to the point of doing the proposing herself; intellectually and politically assertive; and hungry. As Joan Jacobs Brumberg pointed out in 1988, the appetite is a voice, and may constitute a form of rhetorical behaviour. Rhetorical behaviour is not easily separated from appetites and bodies in any discourse, and in the nineteenth century many factors were at play in discourses of food. The powerful roles of class and gender are perhaps never as strongly marked as in domestic and culinary spaces, and both the industrial revolution and British imperialism are materialised in discourses of food and domestic work. As London modernised and industrialised in the 1850s, the class divide between those who prepared food and those who ate it hardened. Andrea Bloomfield and Judith Flanders, among others, have described the differences made by improvements in food transport, storage and cooking. For example, as the closed iron range became more affordable in the second half of the century, the preparation of food was consigned to the servants and their employers practised culinary ignorance and refined consumption.

  • Racialized Masculinity, Sovereignty, and the Imperial Project in Colonial Natal, 1850-1897
    LIMITS OF SETTLEMENT: RACIALIZED MASCULINITY, SOVEREIGNTY, AND THE IMPERIAL PROJECT IN COLONIAL NATAL, 1850-1897 BY TYRONE H. TALLIE, JR. DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Antoinette Burton, Chair Associate Professor Dana Rabin Associate Professor Teresa Barnes Associate Professor James Brennan Associate Professor Siobhan Somerville Associate Professor Scott Lauria Morgensen, Queen’s University ii Abstract Nineteenth century settlers viewed the British colony of Natal in southern Africa as an ‘empty’ territory ready for European bodies. These immigrants sought to create a settler state that would outnumber and supplant indigenous bodies already present. As a result, settlers attempted to defend their claims to a colony threatened by a numerically superior ‘foreign’ population by creating and maintaining forms of proper raced and gendered behavior over the bodies of all peoples in Natal. I argue racialized masculinity must be understood as instrumental to both the establishment and contestation of British sovereign imperial power in colonial Natal. Using settler newspapers, missionary periodicals, British and South African archival sources, and popular contemporary travel accounts, this dissertation looks at the development of the colony of Natal in the second half of the nineteenth century by examining debates over polygamy and ilobolo, legislation over alcohol and marijuana use, proper dress and domestic inhabitance while on mission stations, and the many circulations of the Zulu king Cetshwayo kaMpande. I argue that race and masculinity developed discursively as categories through the quotidian interactions between differing peoples in colonial Natal.

  • An Investigation Into the Copying of British Furniture Designs, the Cabinetmaker’S Pattern Book and Trade Catalogue in New Zealand 1820-1920
    Patterns and Impressions: An Investigation into the Copying of British Furniture Designs, the Cabinetmaker’s Pattern Book and Trade Catalogue in New Zealand 1820-1920. A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the University of Canterbury By William R. Cottrell University of Canterbury 2016 PATTERNS AND IMPRESSIONS 2 Abstract This thesis explains how quickly British furniture designs arrived with New Zealand’s first colonist cabinetmakers in 1839, and that the first colonial printed trade catalogues were copied from British designs, often in contravention of copyright. Examples of the earliest New Zealand made furniture are examined to provide evidence that they were modelled on the work of popular and contemporary British designers. Comparison is made with American furniture and their first pattern books to illustrate that unauthorised reprinting of British designs had also occurred. The same experience was then found in Australia to demonstrate that British designs travelled promptly to that new colony and like America were also reproduced. The thesis argues that New Zealand colonial furniture makers replicated the American and Australian experiences. Analysis of the first New Zealand trade catalogues revealed that designs were indeed copied from British trade catalogues while specific colonial legal cases are examined to argue cabinetmakers’ catalogues violated copyright and registration by reprinting designs. Despite the widespread distribution of subscription magazine as a source of copyright free furniture designs, illegal copying persisted. Printing methods, notably lithography and then photography, are discussed to explain the complexities and efficiencies of printing colonial catalogues. Further, this thesis examines colonial trade relationships, undocumented price coding, and the manufacture of colonial furniture by using British trade catalogues as pattern books to conclude that the primary motivation for colonial furniture makers to copy designs was always about profit.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Station Life in New Zealand by Lady Barker Station Life in New Zealand
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Station Life in New Zealand by Lady Barker Station Life in New Zealand. Station Life in New Zealand is a collection of cheerful and interesting letters written by Lady Mary Anne Barker (nee Mary Anne Stewart) that is a New Zealand "classic". These letters are described in the Preface as "the exact account of a lady's experience of the brighter and less practical side of colonisation". The letters were written between 1865 and 1868 and cover the time of her travel with her husband (Frederick Broomie) to New Zealand and life on a colonial sheep-station at their homestead "Broomielaw", located in the Province of Canterbury, South Island of New Zealand. Although these letters are written with great humour and fine story telling, her life was marred by tragedy while in Canterbury through the illness and eventual death of her baby son. The first four ships of settlers that colonised the Canterbury region had only arrived in 1850. Consequently, little was known about, for example, the irregular Canterbury weather patterns that would dominate the lives of Lady Barker and her husband for those three short years. She describes the regular predations of the Canterbury nor'wester (a type of Fohn wind), including its role in completely blowing away her attempts at establishing a croquet lawn, the devastating effects of snow storm that killed over half of their sheep, and of a great flood that not only flooded Christchurch but demolished her poultry and nearly drowned her husband. Lady Mary Anne Barker was a strong horse woman and very keen for all sorts of "adventures".

    ACROSS THE EMPIRE: BRITISH WOMEN‘S TRAVEL WRITING AND WOMEN‘S PLACE IN THE BRITISH IMPERIAL PROJECT DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY by Katie Wernecke A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida May 2013 Copyright by Katie Wernecke 2013 ii ABSTRACT Author: Katie Wernecke Title: Across the Empire: British Women‘s Travel Writing and Women‘s Place in the British Imperial Project during the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Douglas Kanter Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2013 Women in Britain in the nineteenth century were expected to fulfill the traditional roles of wife and mother as determined by British society. Over the course of the nineteenth century, these ideals evolved, but the core functions of wife and mother remained at the center. Woman‘s participation outside the household was limited. British women travelers during the nineteenth century found themselves in many different environments. By examining samples of women‘s travel narratives from various locations in the Empire, this study analyzes the daily lives of British women in the Empire and determines that, while maintaining their roles within the private sphere as wives and mothers, women‘s activities in the colonies were less restricted than they would have been in Britain. iv ACROSS THE EMPIRE: BRITISH WOMEN‘S TRAVEL WRITING AND WOMEN‘S PLACE IN THE BRITISH IMPERIAL PROJECT DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Introduction ........................................................................................................................
