What you should know about Toitū Otago Settlers Museum
Toit Otago Settlers Museum and the Otago Settlers Association are hosting a heritage and family history day at the Museum on Monday, 21 March. Museum Public Programmes Developer Rua McCallum says, The purpose of the day is two fold. We are hoping this project will herald the beginning of an annual event where people will be able to identify their ancestors who arrived in Dunedin on the early ships. Association President Susan Schweigman says, This project is a great opportunity to learn more about our earliest settlers and their descendants.
We are excited to be involved at the pilot stage of this long term project
Dunedin's Chinese history and heritage is explored in a new documentary film created by a team from Toit Otago Settlers Museum and the Dunedin Chinese Garden Lan Yuan. The Journey to Lan Yuan traces the journey early Chinese settlers took to establish themselves in Otago and the development of their community, which eventually led to the construction of the Dunedin Chinese Garden. At the request of the Chinese community, the documentary is presented by Toit Otago Settlers Museum Curator Se n Brosnahan, who has curated five exhibitions on the Otago Chinese. Mr Brosnahan says, The documentary will help viewers gain a full understanding of where our Chinese community originally came from, what they went through in getting here and how they had to establish themselves in difficult conditions and with a degree of social exclusion.
Otago's Chinese community began settling here from 1865 after an invitation from the Otago Provincial Government. By the 1880s, there were over 5,00 Chinese in Otago, making them the most significant ethnic group in the province outside the European mining population. Officially opened in 2008, the Dunedin Chinese Garden was built as a fitting, permanent recognition of those early Chinese settlers and their contributions to the history, economy and culture of Dunedin. The Journey to Lan Yuan will be available for viewing at Toit Otago Settlers M and 1pm each day from Friday, 27 January until April, and at the Dunedin Chinese Garden in the future.
Cats n Dogs An Illustrated History’ will explore the social history of dogs and cats in Dunedin primarily using images from Toit OSM’s archives. The idea for the exhibition started from our archives as often when exploring our images we find cats or dogs present in many photos. They are interwoven into everyday life then and now, says Exhibition Developer, William McKee. Mr McKee says, The exhibition will particularly cover the role canine and feline friends have played in Dunedin from their evolution as working animals to the companionship and bonds formed between them and humans.
If you are interested in submitting images of your pet you can find more catsndogs. Our doors first opened in 1908, the 60th anniversary of the founding of Dunedin city and the Otago province. We trace the lives of our settlers indigenous M ori, the early Chinese, and the following waves of migrant groups and their technological innovation, art, fashion, domestic life and transport
