  • 'Each in His Narrow Cell for Ever Laid'
    ‘Each in his narrow cell for ever laid’: Dunedin’s Southern Cemetery and its New Zealand Counterparts ALEXANDER TRAPEZNIK AND AUSTIN GEE ew Zealand cemeteries,1 in international terms, are unusual in the fact that there are any historic burials or monuments at all. It tends to be only the countries of British and Irish settlement that N 2 burials are left undisturbed in perpetuity. New Zealand follows the practice codified by the British Burial Acts of the 1850s that specified that once buried, ‘human remains could never again be disturbed except by special licence’.3 This reversed the previous practice of re-using graves and became general in the period in which most of New Zealand’s surviving historic cemeteries were established. The concept of each individual being given a single grave or family plot had been established in the early decades of the nineteenth century, following the example of Public History Review Vol 20 (2013): 42-67 ISSN: 1833-4989 © UTSePress and the authors Public History Review | Trapeznik & Gee the hugely influential Père-Lachaise in Paris. In earlier periods, only the graves of the wealthy had been given permanent markers or monuments, as a reader of Gray’s Elegy will know. Family plots are often seen as an expression of the importance given to hereditary property ownership, and this extended further down the social scale into the middle classes in the nineteenth century than it had in previous generations.4 This article will examine in detail a representative example of this new type of cemetery and compare it with its counterparts elsewhere in New Zealand.

  • Karangahape Road Streetscape Enhancement Project
    Karangahape Road Streetscape Enhancement Project Public feedback received in late February and early March 2016. In late February and early March 2016 the Karangahape Road Streetscape Enhancement Project Team invited feedback from the public to find out what people love about K Road, and how they would make it even better. The project team set up a stall and displays inviting feedback at the Myers Park Medley and White Night events. Members of the public were asked to tell the team (by way of sticky notes on a large map of Karangahape Road) what they love about K Road, and what they would do to make it even better. Additionally, feedback was invited via an online feedback form. In total 368 comments were received, the key themes resulting from this feedback are outlined below. More detailed examples of feedback received and the project team’s responses are provided on the next page.

  • Why Can't I Locate My Ancestor's Place of Burial? the 1882 Cemeteries Act
    Why can't I locate my ancestor's place of burial? The 1882 Cemeteries Act and burial details, by David Verran. I have been researching Auckland's Symonds Street and other early Auckland cemeteries since the early 1990s, and, I believe that an understanding of the 1882 Cemeteries Act is crucial when trying to locate the burial places of early New Zealanders. In particular, it was that Act that brought local government into the administration of public cemeteries, which hitherto were largely the preserve of the various denominations represented in New Zealand. Note that while I am talking almost exclusively about New Zealand, some of the general principles may also apply to Australia and Britain/Ireland. Regarding Australia, and in particular early Sydney, I recommend Keith Johnson and Malcolm Sainty’s ‘Sydney burial ground 1819-1901 ... and history of Sydney’s early cemeteries from 1788’ (2001). In November 2004, Stephen Deed presented a Master of Arts Thesis to the University of Otago entitled ‘Unearthly landscapes: the development of the cemetery in nineteenth century New Zealand’. That thesis notes the nineteenth century was “a time of transition for British burial practices, with the traditional churchyard burial ground giving way to the modern cemetery”. Deed noted in his Thesis that Parish churchyard cemeteries had been the pattern in Britain for a thousand years. However, other sources describe private burial grounds as well – in 1835 there were around 14 such burial grounds in London alone. From 1832 (Kensal Green was the first) to 1841, there were seven commercially managed private garden cemeteries established on the then fringe areas of the London metropolitan area, Highgate for example was opened in 1839.
