1840s NZ Through Australian Convict Records

from Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries · host Auckland Libraries

During the mid-1800s, over one hundred people (which included 6 Maori and 1 woman) were transported from New Zealand to the penal colony in Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania). Who were they and where did they originate from? What crimes were they accused of? Were they of ‘good character’ and what did they look like? In this talk, author and lecturer Kristyn Harman explains how convict records can answer these questions and reveal what life was like for the working classes in early colonial New Zealand. Recorded on 24 March 2021.

Ghibliotheque - A Podcast About Animation and Studio Ghibli Michael Leader, Jake Cunningham & Steph Watts Welcome to the Ghibliotheque, the podcast that leafs through libraries of films from the world’s greatest animation studios.In 2018, Michael Leader, an avowed Studio Ghibli fanatic, sat down with Jake Cunningham, who had never seen any of the Studio’s work before. Together they looked at the history behind Ghibli's films (including Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke), and got a critical perspective from Jake as a first-time viewer. They covered all of Studio Ghibli's films, visited Japan on the ultimate Ghibli pilgrimage, and have since interviewed artists, animators and filmmakers who have either worked on or have been deeply inspired by Ghibli's films. With their co-host Steph Watts, they have also branched out to cover filmographies of other studios and filmmakers whose work has revolutionised animation, from Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Hosoda to Cartoon Saloon and Henry Selick.Where will we go next?
