The madding Wheeles of brazen Chariots rag’d; dire was the noise’
The environmental impact of motor vehicles is not a recent phenomenon, it was evident from their earliest years. This was the case in New Zealand, a relatively small though urbanised society, which took up car and motorcycle ownership at a high rate from about 1910 on. This article examines three aspects of the impact of motoring: air, noise and visual pollution. Each was an existing problem to which motor vehicles added a new aspect. As was the …
Accommodating the motor car
Cities and their inhabitants were obliged to adapt rapidly to the rise of car ownership in the first few decades of the twentieth century; this article examines how one of New Zealand’s most developed urban centres, Dunedin, adapted to motor vehicles in the years 1901–30. Changes to the built environment are considered: new, specialised building types and commercial activities; the resurfacing and realignment of streets; and the introduction of t…
Laying the V ictorians to Rest
This article seeks to integrate the history of the physical aspects of burial practices with the cultural aspects of mourning and bereavement by considering the businesses that catered for the demand created by funerals and mourning in the second half of the nineteenth century. The example of the first major industrial and commercial urban centre to develop in N ew Z ealand, D unedin, is used to show that a range of businesses emerge quickly to c…
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid
This article compares aspects of the design, layout and purpose of a range of historic New Zealand urban cemeteries with the Southern Cemetery in Dunedin. It makes use of recent research conducted for historic conservation reports which has enable detailed comparisons to be made for the first time. The Southern Cemetery survives as a representative example of a modern, urban cemetery of the mid-nineteenth century, though it is unusual in being in…
The Contested White Lady
This article critiques New Zealand's cultural heritage politics by positing that vernacular items, like an iconic eatery called the White Lady, does not meet the legislative criteria enabling cultural heritage status. If vernacular artefacts, including 'kiwiana', are to be integrated within cultural heritage, then changes within legislation, definitions and participant preconceptions are necessary. This study argues that cultural heritage is domi…

On the Waterfront
This article examines the industrial and mercantile built heritage of New Zealand by considering a remarkable precinct in Dunedin of surviving commercial buildings from the second half of the nineteenth century. The city was then the country's financial, commercial and industrial centre, having undergone a gold rush boom in the 1860s. A large industrial and commercial precinct was rapidly created on reclaimed land in the central city over the fol…
Agents of Moscow” at the Dawn of the Cold War
This article explores an important aspect of New Zealand's Cold War history—the impact of directives from Moscow on the Communist Party of New Zealand (CPNZ) until the dissolution of the Communist International (Comintern) in 1943. Drawing on the Comintern papers relating to New Zealand, the article largely reaffirms traditional interpretations of the Comintern. Although indigenous Communist parties operated in a specific local context that resul…
New Zealand's Perceptions of the Russian Revolution of 1917
This article examines a specific example of the West's reaction to the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917: the reaction of a small, colonized and geographically distant country that was part of the British Empire. In particular, the study will investigate New Zealand's reaction to and perceptions of the Russian Revolution of 1917, in both the public and the official realms. After initially attacking the fledgling socialist government, New Zeala…
Worker unrest nineteenth-century Russia
Regioanl Studies are a valuable addition to the worker question in Russian historiography. This article focuses on the Tula working class in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The Tula case-study reveals that labour unrest took the form of strike action rather than complaints and mass departures and the majority of incidents occurred in only a relativelyshort time period - 1869-1900 - which was a time of economic boom. This indicates that…
