Egmont, Who Was He
As part of Aotearoa New Zealand's process of settling historical Treaty of Waitangi claims, a settlement is expected to be completed soon in relation to the maunga (mountain) known to Māori as Taranaki. In addition to recognising the maunga as a legal person, the settlement will reportedly make Taranaki Maunga the landmark's sole official name. More than 250 years after Captain Cook imposed the name Mount Egmont on the landscape, that name will f…
H’ is for history: Uses of the past in place-name debates in New Zealand and Northern Ireland
In 2009, residents of two urban centres on opposite sides of the world debated proposals to change their cities’ official names. In New Zealand there was a sometimes-heated argument over whether to change the name of Wanganui to Whanganui, in accordance with standard Māori spelling; while Northern Ireland witnessed the latest round of a long-running dispute between Irish nationalists and pro-British unionists over the name of Derry or Londonderry…

Men Alone, in Bronze and Stone: A Tale of Two Statues
We pass by them every day in cities and towns, without a second thought. Solitary figures, usually male, standing stern and silent. Familiarity, it seems, has bred not contempt but indifference; statues have become invisible. Yet this is not true always and everywhere. From time to time, sometimes quite unexpectedly, a statue will come to life, will shed its cloak of invisibility and become the focus of public attention and debate

Participation in war, whether actively in the armed forces or on the home front, or in opposition to a particular war, has shaped the lives of successive generations of Australians in the twentieth century.

History Never Repeats? The Waitangi Tribunal and New Zealand History
In 1985, the New Zealand government extended the jurisdiction of the Waitangi Tribunal, a quasi‐judicial body formed to investigate Maori claims of breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi, back to the time of the signing of the Treaty in 1840. As a result, the Tribunal entered the business of writing history. The history that appears in Tribunal reports, however, has some distinctive features that distinguish it from other types of historical writing,…
God save the king’ versus ‘The soldier’s song’: The 1929 Trinity College national anthem dispute and the politics of the Irish Free State
National symbols have long been the subject of political controversy in Ireland and remain so today. Although arguments about symbols are now more common in Northern Ireland than in the Irish Republic, the early years of the Irish Free State saw vigorous discussions about the appropriateness of the new state’s symbols. One such debate broke out in 1929, following a dispute between the Free State government and Trinity College, Dublin, over which …
