He Tirohanga Ki Muri: A View of the Past
Description
An account of the resource
"E kore e ngaro; te kakano i ruia mai i Ra' iatea.
I shall never be lost; the seed that was sown from Ra' iatea."
The image of a waka en passage across the sea is a metaphor for an individuals' life journey through time. As the waka traverses the ocean the wake generated by the canoe in motion symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge. Sea spray thrown up by the prow of the canoe soars above. Illuminated by the suns rays, a rainbow appears, the individual is ready, knowledge becomes wisdom and life's journey is rewarded.
'He tirohanga ki muri ~ A view of the past' is an attempt to capture and convey a selection of Maori heritage materials from the Hocken Library, which not only speak of important events and relationships, but also acknowledge the mana, (prestige, dignity and authority) of our ancestors through the words and wisdom they have left behind. They provide us with glimpses into our rich heritage and are a remarkable record of our ancestors' opinions, lives and feelings. It is hoped that by bringing together these taonga we add further depth and understanding to our journey in the pursuit of knowledge.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1848 Walter Baldock Durrant Mantell was appointed to the office of commissioner for extinguishing native titles in the South Island. Mantell used this collection of cardboard labels to represent the inter-relationships of the hapu of the Otago region in 1848. The names of hapu were recorded and tied together in groups representative of inter-hapu relationships. In preserving these hapu names Mantell has also captured the distinct pronunciation of the Southern Maori dialect by recording the names phonetically, as he would have heard them.

Title
A name given to the resource
Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
On 28 November 1520, Magellan sailed through the straits that would bear his name into the great expansive waters he dubbed ‘Mar Pacifico’. His venture opened up the exploration of the southern seas, a vast tract of water with numerous islands dotted about, most uncharted. Politically and commercially-driven expeditions then began that put shape to continents and the (re-) discovery of these islands. Notable first explorers included Mendaña de Neira, Sir Francis Drake, Abel Tasman, William Dampier, Samuel Wallis and Philip Carteret; the latter two discovering Tahiti and Pitcairn respectively.
Scientific expeditions began with Bougainville and Cook, each aided by the improvements in navigational equipment, and with institutional backing that employed a full contingent of artists, draughtsmen and botanists to help record and collect.
Cook travelled hundreds of miles throughout the Pacific in the course of his three voyages. By the time of his death in 1779, the map of the Pacific was practically as it is now. It is no wonder that La Pérouse (1785) once said: ‘Cook had left me nothing but to admire.’
Other voyages of exploration then followed, including those commanded by Malaspina (1789), d’Entrecasteaux (1791), Kotzebue (1815-18; 1825-26), Freycinet (1817-20), Dumont d’Urville, and the later United States Exploring Expedition.
The exhibition ‘Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876’ features books and maps found in the Hocken Collections, the Science Library and Special Collections, University of Otago. Although the exhibition is by necessity selective, three goals are paramount: to highlight through their publications the brave endeavours of these explorers; to reveal the steady charting of the Pacific; and to remind everyone that these resources do exist, and can be viewed, touched, read, and enjoyed.

Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde. Vol.1
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Between 1822 and 1825, Jules S. C. Dumont d’Urville cut his teeth on a circumnavigation of the globe with Duperrey on the Coquille. In 1826 d’Urville returned on the Astrolabe (Coquille renamed), with two principal aims of gathering more information on the islands in the Pacific, and augmenting the scientific data acquired by Duperrey. He returned with a treasure trove of botanical and geological booty; his reports ran to thirteen volumes and five atlases of plates and maps. D’Urville took editorial control of this particular publication, distilling the essence of his and other voyages to an eager reading public. The engraved images are based on the drawings of de Sainson, the artist aboard the Astrolabe.

Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde. Vol. II
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Notebooks and sketch pads were no doubt in constant use by those artists on board the ships exploring the Pacific. It did, after all, supply an endless array of subject matter. Louis Auguste de Sainson, former Admiralty clerk, was the official artist on d’Urville’s Astrolabe, who during the voyage accumulated ‘no fewer than 182 views, landscapes, scenes and pictures; 153 portraits, 112 plates of dwellings, monuments, costumes, arms and utensils, and 45 coastal profiles, sketches of trees, etc.’ (Collins, 1997). The images of early New Zealand in this first edition of <i>Voyage Pittoresque Autour de Monde</i> are based on de Sainson’s drawings.

Description
An account of the resource
On 28 November 1520, Magellan sailed through the straits that would bear his name into the great expansive waters he dubbed ‘Mar Pacifico’. His venture opened up the exploration of the southern seas, a vast tract of water with numerous islands dotted about, most uncharted. Politically and commercially-driven expeditions then began that put shape to continents and the (re-) discovery of these islands. Notable first explorers included Mendaña de Neira, Sir Francis Drake, Abel Tasman, William Dampier, Samuel Wallis and Philip Carteret; the latter two discovering Tahiti and Pitcairn respectively.
Scientific expeditions began with Bougainville and Cook, each aided by the improvements in navigational equipment, and with institutional backing that employed a full contingent of artists, draughtsmen and botanists to help record and collect.
Cook travelled hundreds of miles throughout the Pacific in the course of his three voyages. By the time of his death in 1779, the map of the Pacific was practically as it is now. It is no wonder that La Pérouse (1785) once said: ‘Cook had left me nothing but to admire.’
Other voyages of exploration then followed, including those commanded by Malaspina (1789), d’Entrecasteaux (1791), Kotzebue (1815-18; 1825-26), Freycinet (1817-20), Dumont d’Urville, and the later United States Exploring Expedition.
The exhibition ‘Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876’ features books and maps found in the Hocken Collections, the Science Library and Special Collections, University of Otago. Although the exhibition is by necessity selective, three goals are paramount: to highlight through their publications the brave endeavours of these explorers; to reveal the steady charting of the Pacific; and to remind everyone that these resources do exist, and can be viewed, touched, read, and enjoyed.

Voyage of the U.S. Exploring Squadron, … in 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, and 1842
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
During the 46 months away, the ‘U.S. Ex. Ex.’ visited Samoa, Sydney, Fiji (where two men were killed), the Hawaiian Islands, Tonga, the Northwest coast of America, the Philippines, and Borneo. While in the South ‘an Antarctic continent’ (later named Wilkes Land) was spotted, and some of the crew were present at the initial signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, February 1840. Although missionary work was well established in Tahiti, there were other social concerns. Wilkes persuaded Queen Pomare IV to have a prison and police. No sooner had the ‘Calabooza Beretanee’ on Broom Road been established than it received its most famous inmate: Herman Melville. Jenkins did not take part in the Expedition; this was a commissioned publication.

Voyage of Discovery in the South Sea…Undertaken in the Years 1815, 16, 17, and 18. Part I
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
On board Krusenstern’s Nadezhda was Otto von Kotzebue, son of the German poet August von Kotzebue. In 1815, the young Kotzebue was in command of the second Russian expedition, visiting Chile, Easter Island, the Marshall Islands, Hawaii, and the Northwest coast of America, where he searched unsuccessfully for a passage to the Arctic Ocean. An important shipboard companion was the naturalist and poet Adelbert von Chamisso. This abridged ‘Phillips’ copy of this very important expedition report is of great interest because it contains seven uncoloured aquatint plates of Hawaii and California which are in neither the original nor the full English editions.

Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
On 28 November 1520, Magellan sailed through the straits that would bear his name into the great expansive waters he dubbed ‘Mar Pacifico’. His venture opened up the exploration of the southern seas, a vast tract of water with numerous islands dotted about, most uncharted. Politically and commercially-driven expeditions then began that put shape to continents and the (re-) discovery of these islands. Notable first explorers included Mendaña de Neira, Sir Francis Drake, Abel Tasman, William Dampier, Samuel Wallis and Philip Carteret; the latter two discovering Tahiti and Pitcairn respectively.
Scientific expeditions began with Bougainville and Cook, each aided by the improvements in navigational equipment, and with institutional backing that employed a full contingent of artists, draughtsmen and botanists to help record and collect.
Cook travelled hundreds of miles throughout the Pacific in the course of his three voyages. By the time of his death in 1779, the map of the Pacific was practically as it is now. It is no wonder that La Pérouse (1785) once said: ‘Cook had left me nothing but to admire.’
Other voyages of exploration then followed, including those commanded by Malaspina (1789), d’Entrecasteaux (1791), Kotzebue (1815-18; 1825-26), Freycinet (1817-20), Dumont d’Urville, and the later United States Exploring Expedition.
The exhibition ‘Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876’ features books and maps found in the Hocken Collections, the Science Library and Special Collections, University of Otago. Although the exhibition is by necessity selective, three goals are paramount: to highlight through their publications the brave endeavours of these explorers; to reveal the steady charting of the Pacific; and to remind everyone that these resources do exist, and can be viewed, touched, read, and enjoyed.

Voyage Autour du Monde…Histoire du Voyage: Atlas
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Louis-Isidore Duperrey (1786-1865) was the commander of one of the most significant 19th century French voyages into the Pacific. Between 1822 and 1825, he sailed in the Coquille to Chile, Peru (where important magnetic observations were completed), the Tuamotu Archipelago, Tahiti and the Society Islands, Tonga, Rotuma, the Gilbert and Caroline Islands, New Ireland (Papua New Guinea), Australia and New Zealand, where Duperrey was intrigued by the Maori language and grammar. Vast quantities of ethnographic and scientific data were collected, and although numerous volumes were published, the project was never entirely completed. Here is the exceptional ‘Duperrey’ atlas with some images alongside the voyage account by René Lesson, the naturalist on board.
