Abstract
A summary of the resource.
On 3 June <strong>1869</strong>, the University of Otago Ordinance <strong>1869</strong> became law. This meant that the newly established University became a corporate body with power to grant degrees. This was a significant first for New Zealand. Two years later, with a building secured, and three professors appointed, classes began. The first class was on 10 July 1871, with 81 students enrolled. The University of Otago’s rich history continues today. Its establishment and legacy form part of this exhibition <em><strong>1869</strong>: The Year That Was</em>.<br /><br />Of course, other events occurred in<strong> 1869</strong>, forming a then unwritten but much wider history. While the University Council were debating the administrational matters necessary to make the newly formed educational institution work, events were occurring on a local and international level. Each had their own particular impact. Some of the events of <strong>1869</strong> that feature in the exhibition include the formation of the Otago Institute; the first Fine Arts Exhibition in New Zealand; the first ‘Royal’ visit to New Zealand; the introduction of the New Zealand Cross; the births of Rasputin, Emma Goldman, and Gandhi; the opening of the Suez Canal; and the formation of Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev’s periodic table. Tolstoy’s <em>War and Peace</em> was published in 1869, as was Louisa May Alcott’s <em>Little Women</em>.<br /> Please enjoy <em><strong>1869</strong>, The Year That Was.</em>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘As a class, women seem always to have been too busy to say much about themselves. And sometimes it has seemed that the more worthwhile their deeds the less they said about them. Few women have had Boswells, though many should have’. <br /> Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead, 1937 <br /><br />A woman’s role in society, until recently, has traditionally been as wife, mother, and caregiver. She is often remembered in history, overwhelmingly written by men, for her looks, her body, or her scandalous behaviour. Women make up at least half of the world’s population, but they occupy less than one percent of recorded history. As you will find in this exhibition, <strong>The Female of the Species: A Celebration of Women in History</strong>, women have always been writers, inventors, leaders, activists, and warriors. However, their contributions have often been overlooked, fading into a background overshadowed by men. <br /><br />The paucity of resources about women has proven a challenge, but in the exhibition, you will find books highlighting familiar faces: Cleopatra, Emmeline Pankhurst, Marie Curie, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Florence Nightingale, and Janet Frame. You will also learn of the endeavours of less familiar women in history: Christine de Pisan, the 14th century proto-feminist; Boudica, Queen of the Iceni; Hypatia, the mathematician; Ida Pfeiffer, the Austrian traveller; Mary Somerville, the scientist; Ann Radcliffe, the writer; Margaret Sanger, the birth control activist; Teuta, the pirate Queen; Charlotte Guillard, the Paris printer; and many more besides. <br /><br />Let us now bring the exploits of all these women into the light.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Dunedin-born <strong>Yvette Williams</strong> (1929–2019) was the first woman from New Zealand to win an Olympic gold medal (Helsinki, 1952), and to hold the world record in the women’s long jump. When she retired in 1954, she was ranked number one in world track-and-field history in the long jump, fifth in the pentathlon, 12th in the discus throw, and 19th in the shot put. In 1953, she was awarded an MBE; in 2011, she was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit; and in 2019, she was posthumously awarded a Damehood. This iconic image depicts <strong>Williams</strong> training for the long jump at St Clair Beach, Dunedin.

Title
A name given to the resource
Make It New! Modernism & the Medieval Presence. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The phrase 'Make it New' is frequently used in defining a key feature of modernism – its novelty – and is often regarded as influential and foundational in the development of modernist aesthetics. Yet when Ezra Pound employed the phrase for the first time in 1928, modernism’s major works had already appeared, and decades would pass before 'Make It New' gained significance and became a catchphrase and slogan. 'Make It New' was Pound's rendering of a passage in Da Xue, a historical Chinese text. Influenced by Christian belief as well, 'Make It New' became a model of change, of renaissance and renewal, in which the new is not simply a return to the old. Drawing on the work of those who have gone before, Making It New is a process of historical recycling, quotation, and re-arrangement.
In this exhibition, you will see examples of modernist writers Making It New, and it focuses on modernists who re-inscribe medieval elements, including medieval forms, themes, and narratives. It highlights the holdings of the University of Otago Libraries, in particular the treasures of the Charles Brasch collection. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In his psychological novels, Conrad’s narrators experience inner battles of good and evil. They struggle to grasp the significance of the events they relate and struggle to make themselves understood. In ‘Heart of Darkness,’ the narrator is fascinated with the mysterious and evil Kurtz and recalls the ‘supreme moment of complete knowledge’ Kurtz has before he dies, ‘The horror! The horror!’

An account of the resource
On mount in ink: T.M. Hocken. John Robert Godley was born in 1814 at Killigar, Ireland. Educated at harrow & Christchurch, Oxford. He then travelled extensively & in 1844 published his Letters from America marked by great ability & thought. This work attracted the attention of E.G. Wakefield with whom he formed a strong friendship & with him engaged in the founding of the Canterbury Settlement in 1848. In 1849 he sailed for Port Lyttelton to guide the infant fortunes of that scheme which he did with zeal & skill. In its after struggles & misfortunes his advice was of great value. Returning to England after three years’ absence he was appointed by his friend & brother-in-law, Mr Gladstone to the post of Under-Secretary of War which he held until his death on Nov 6, 1861.

Sheet music of World War I
Description
An account of the resource
Sheet music relating to WWI (1914-1918)
Hocken Collections' sheet music relating to The Great War of 1914-1918 (WWI) is a select group of (mostly) local songs illustrating the development of attitudes to war. From patriotic, supportive songs that celebrate war efforts, to sombre words and melodies that describe loss and anguish, the music reminds us that war affected all areas of life.
Ideas of nationhood and identity in song further emerged during times of war. Loyalty to the Empire, and national patriotism peaked during wartime; emerging songs both inspired support for the war effort, and emphasised New Zealand's allegiance to their mother country of Great Britain.
New Zealand songs of the First World War have, to an extent, been lost – they are not performed widely, nor have they been recorded for a modern audience. They are sparsely documented, and often, the names of both lyricist and composer have been forgotten - over time the music was discarded or abandoned.
Little information is found on local music around wartime, though early newspapers often had short snippets or advertising about war-era music. Therefore, little information on the sheets is held at Hocken Collections, and often no firm date of publication is available. Regardless, the WWI sheet music collection is significant as it documents the local sentiment of the era.

Rare Delights III: Recent Additions to Special Collections. Online Exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The rare book collection in Special Collections at the University of Otago grows - slowly and surely - by purchase and donation. With these new acquisitions Special Collections aims to build on the strengths of the collection such as those traditional collecting fields of 18th century literature, garden history, art and architecture, travel, and works by and about John Evelyn, John Locke, and the English poet Robert Graves.
Over time new areas of collecting have come to the fore, in particular ‘popular culture’ items in the guise of pulp fiction and science fiction (SF). In 2010, Professor Fred Fastier gifted his entire SF Collection to Special Collections. Since then holdings in this field have grown considerably with the acquisition of the Hal Salive SF Collection, some 2400 titles kindly donated by Rachel Salive, and a near complete run of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, donated by Trevor Agnew. ‘Pulps’ continue to be acquired as too the works by the Dunedin-born artist John Buckland Wright. Other books have been acquired because of their historical significance or because they fill a visible gap in the existing collection. Brief examples here include French language works by Racine and Corneille, and Robert Hooke’s Micrographia (1780)
It is by no means true that all rare books are old books. Recent purchases include important modern works that complement the older material. By this means Special Collections will continue to house significant examples of printing and publishing into the next century, will continue to provide an important forum for original research, and will retain its position as an important University-based rare book collection in New Zealand. These volumes are a selection of titles added to Special Collections between 2008 and 2013. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
'Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance' - Coco Chanel <br /><br />In <em>Hollywood Costume</em> (2012) Valerie Steele writes: 'fashion is usually defined as the prevailing style of dress at any given time, with the implication that it is characterised, above all, by change...Fashion is also a system involving not only the production and consumption of fashionable clothes but also discourses and imagery'. Some of these discourses and imagery are showcased in <em>Fashion Rules OK</em>, revealing both the allure and the work of fashion. Drawing on a diverse collection of books, magazines, and objects, <em>Fashion Rules OK</em> samples the breadth and diversity of writing on this subject, and offers a glimpse below the surface of appearances. Perspectives range from the world of couture, the peripheries of production, and childhood fashions, to Chinese dress, the runway, and the laundry. It presents the highs and lows of fashion style from the Regency period to the Moderns; some iconic Fashion Greats; and aspects (some forgotten) such as fashion etiquette, fashion marketing, fashion theory, and costume. Although for want of space some important areas of fashion writing are neglected, the exhibition is not so much a stocktake as an exploration of contrasts. <em>Fashion Rules OK</em> aims to show the ubiquity of fashion in the history of everyday life.<br /><br /><p><em>Every effort has been made to trace copyright ownership and to obtain permission for reproduction.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This New Zealand handbook for secondary school students covers the work prescribed for the School Certificate Examination in Clothing. Chapters on the wider study of clothing touch on history, geography, aesthetics, psychology, and chemistry, to name a few. Using a question-based technique rather than laying down rules, the book asks questions such as how the student might manage a clothing budget within an allowance. The book builds a rational basis for clothing selection and wardrobe planning, including how to choose clothes and accessories appropriate to personality and age.

Cultivating Gardens: Practical gardening advice through the ages. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
Botanists rely on floras, and apothecaries on herbals for the critical task of plant identification. Gardeners need practical advice as well as descriptions of plants—such as on the best times to sow seeds and graft trees, on the latest varieties, on bulb storage, and on tools and techniques. The exhibition traces the development of practical English gardening books from the late 16th century to the Victorian era, and follows developments in 19th and 20th century New Zealand, where new manuals were written for local conditions.

Description
An account of the resource
41st ed.
Yates' Garden Guide was a series produced by the Arthur Yates Company, founded in Auckland in 1883 and expanded to include a Sydney branch in 1887. The first edition appeared in 1895 as Yates' Garden Guide for Australia and New Zealand, but it was only nominally addressed to New Zealand gardeners. In the New Zealand-distributed editions from 1922-1934, revisions took greater account of New Zealand's cooler growing condition. Finally in 1934 a truly New Zealand edition (the 20th) appeared. By 1931 the guidebook was being used in schools as a text book so its influence must have been considerable. Most editions through to the 32nd (1946) saw small revisions. However the Guide was restructured for a ‘new look' edition in 1950 and briefly renumbered as the 1st of three new editions. By 1957 Yates' had reverted to the original sequence of numbers (39th edition 1957). Major rewriting was claimed for the 61st (1987) edition. This long-running series is an outstanding historical resource, encapsulating all significant trends in the history of gardening in New Zealand in the 20th century.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1952, Harold Terrence Salive (1939-2012) read one of Groff Conklin’s <em>Science Fiction</em> (SF) anthologies and he was hooked. Two years later, aged 15, he started ‘hoarding’ copies of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, which first appeared in January 1930. A stint in the army (1957) and study at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where in 1972 he graduated with a PhD in experimental psychology, solidified his passion for collecting. Salive’s collecting got serious in 1967. He began attending SF Fairs; he corresponded with various SF book dealers; received numerous catalogues from which he could buy books and magazines; and he joined fan groups such as the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F), and Science Fiction Newsletter. In 1972 Salive moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where he worked as a lecturer (non-medical) in Psychiatry at Auckland Medical School. He was also a consultant for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and started developing graphic programmes for Commodore 64 personal computers under his own company, Kiwisoft Programs Ltd. In 1977 he had married his second wife, Rachel. Salive continued to attend SF Fairs, and extended collecting interests to include gaming, writing SF stories, and teaching courses on the history of SF. In 2005, he moved to Waikanae, built purpose-made bookshelves to house his collection of 2500 items, and started to catalogue them. The Salive Collection consists of both SF and Fantasy. Van Vogt was a favourite, as was Samuel Delany. He collected early issues of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, and the continuance <em>Analog Science Fiction and Fact.</em> Fantasy authors who feature include C.J Cherryh, Jack L. Chalker, Poul Anderson, and Piers Anthony. There is no Tolkien, and only one Ray Bradbury title. In March 2013 Rachel Salive donated the Hal Salive Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection to Special Collections, University of Otago. It is a lasting legacy to a fine collector.

Hartford City, Indiana: Robert (‘Buck’) and Juanita Coulson
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This line drawing cover with its rather bad joke fronts this issue of <em>Yandro</em>, an influential SF fan magazine that was published ‘more or less monthly’ by Robert (‘Buck’) and Juanita Coulson, from Hartford City, Indiana. <em>Yandro</em> ran from 1953 to 1986 and was renowned for letters of comment and its book reviews: ‘Maker/A for Anything is repulsive, while Hell’s Pavement is patchwork…’. Salive subscribed to it and this copy – No. 153, c.1964 – is the earliest magazine in his collection. The title of <em>Yandro</em> came from the works of Manly Wade Wellman, who took it from the traditional folk song, ‘He’s Gone Away’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1929, the historical collection of the University of Otago’s Health Sciences (formerly Medical) Library was established with the donation of the famed Monro Collection. The over 450 volumes were owned by Alexander Monro, father (<em>primus</em>), son (<em>secundus</em>), and grandson (<em>tertius</em>), who were successively Professors of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh, 1720-1846. <br /><br />Wonderful though the Monro Collection is, it comprises but a fraction of the total Health Sciences Library’s Historical Collections, some 100,000 plus volumes. These include 18th, 19th, and 20th century books and manuscripts, as well as the unique Preventive Medicine Dissertations. This exhibition,<em> Medical Marvels</em>, highlights treasures from this Historical Collection, from pharmacy and phrenology, to dentistry and disease. Of particular note is the anatomical flap book by Johann Remmelin, printed in Holland in 1667; a second edition of Andreas Vesalius’s <em>The Fabric of the Body</em>, printed in 1555; and Bernhard Albinus’s <em>Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body</em>, printed in 1746. <br /><br />Other noteworthy items include works by medicos Edward Jenner, John Hunter, Francis Glisson, Thomas Willis, and William Smellie. For those interested in the history of medicine, the exhibition is a feast. This exhibition reflects scholarly engagement. Many of the books have been chosen by University of Otago academic staff, students, and librarians, who have used the books for their own research. We are particularly indebted to Professor Terence Doyle, Department of Medicine, and Professor Barbara Brookes, History Department. The first is an avid user of the historical collection; the second highlighted the importance of the Preventive Medicine dissertations.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1952, Harold Terrence Salive (1939-2012) read one of Groff Conklin’s <em>Science Fiction</em> (SF) anthologies and he was hooked. Two years later, aged 15, he started ‘hoarding’ copies of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, which first appeared in January 1930. A stint in the army (1957) and study at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where in 1972 he graduated with a PhD in experimental psychology, solidified his passion for collecting. Salive’s collecting got serious in 1967. He began attending SF Fairs; he corresponded with various SF book dealers; received numerous catalogues from which he could buy books and magazines; and he joined fan groups such as the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F), and Science Fiction Newsletter. In 1972 Salive moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where he worked as a lecturer (non-medical) in Psychiatry at Auckland Medical School. He was also a consultant for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and started developing graphic programmes for Commodore 64 personal computers under his own company, Kiwisoft Programs Ltd. In 1977 he had married his second wife, Rachel. Salive continued to attend SF Fairs, and extended collecting interests to include gaming, writing SF stories, and teaching courses on the history of SF. In 2005, he moved to Waikanae, built purpose-made bookshelves to house his collection of 2500 items, and started to catalogue them. The Salive Collection consists of both SF and Fantasy. Van Vogt was a favourite, as was Samuel Delany. He collected early issues of <em>Astounding Stories</em>, and the continuance <em>Analog Science Fiction and Fact.</em> Fantasy authors who feature include C.J Cherryh, Jack L. Chalker, Poul Anderson, and Piers Anthony. There is no Tolkien, and only one Ray Bradbury title. In March 2013 Rachel Salive donated the Hal Salive Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection to Special Collections, University of Otago. It is a lasting legacy to a fine collector.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
An extension to Salive’s collecting was his foray into SF writing. While living in Auckland in 2002, he wrote nine short stories, all of which remain unpublished. There are numerous books in Salive’s collection that offer tips on how to write SF stories. One is <em>Writing to the Point</em> by Algis Budrys (1931-2008), himself a successful SF author and editor.

Reaching Out: Celebrating 100 years of Otago Physiotherapy Graduates, 1913-2013. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The School of Physiotherapy is immensely proud of the contribution its graduates have made to health in the wider community over the 100 years since the School’s inception in 1913. The formal celebrations for the School’s centenary were held in Dunedin in April 2013. Included was the launch of the centennial publication In Our Hands: 100 Years of Physiotherapy at Otago 1913-2013, by historian Louise Shaw. This book details the rich history of physiotherapy education. What the book did not have room to tell were the stories of the many individual graduates from the School who have made significant national and international contributions to the development of physiotherapy and a diverse range of areas in health. Some of these stories are told in this exhibition at the de Beer Gallery in the Special Collections Library.
Apart from receiving their education at the School of Physiotherapy at Otago, the graduates featured in this exhibition are all defined by their passion for physiotherapy in their own unique way. These individuals have pushed ‘physiotherapy’ to new heights and set new standards. They have been uncompromising in their mission, inspiring their colleagues and the wider health community. They have reached out to demonstrate how things could be done differently and above all, sought ways to enable their patients to lead better and more productive lives.
The School of Physiotherapy is honoured to feature these special people in this exhibition in the de Beer Gallery and to tell the stories of the ways these physiotherapists have responded to the needs of their communities by reaching out.
