Description: Comprises four histories submitted by A W Glassford in support of the New Zealand Century Farm and Station Award application. They cover the pre European and early settler use of the Matakanui Station area, the histories of Matakanui Station, Otago, the Glassford family, Dougalston farm situated on the former township of Drybread, and the Rankeillor farm property. Original owners Henry (Harry) Gordon-Glassford (1764-1819) and his halfbrother James Glassford Gordon-Glassford (1771-1834) emigrated from Scotland to Australia and New Zealand purchasing 80,000 acres in the Lauder Survey District, 12 Km from Omakau, Central Otago. In 1864 the brothers took over the lease of Run 223 from Messrs Webster and Thomson. The run ran from the top of the Dunstan Range to the Manuherikia River, Lauder Creek and Chatto Creek. They operated under the name Glassford Bros. and the run became known as Matakanui Station. In 2008 the property was awarded the NZ Century Farm and Station Award to mark 100 years of continous ownership by one family. Quantity: 4 Electronic document(s).

Reference: MS-2119

Description: Manuscript of the first translation from Dutch into English (made for Sir Joseph Banks) of Tasman's journal from Batavia in 1642-1643, by C G Woide. Woide includes an introduction to Joseph Banks on the nature of his transcription. There is also a small lexicon of some of the Dutch words used by Tasman. The journal begins on the 14th August 1462 as Tasman and his crew set sail from Batavia aboard the `Heemskerck' and the `Zeehaen'. The vessels travelled south via Mauritius and Tasmania. The entry for 13 Dec 1642 describes their first sighting of New Zealand. From New Zealand Tasman continued on to Tonga and Fiji, then returning to Java. Volume also includes a tipped in letter from the British Museum to the Alexander Turnbull Library (1960) regarding the provenance of the volume and how it had been originally owned by Sir Joseph Banks. Another facsimile copy of this journal by Woide is held by the British Library (MS 8947). Charles G Woide was commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks to translate Tasman's original journal from the Dutch language. A note by Sir Clements Robert Markham in the prefix of the volume indicates Woide hoped to be paid £30 for the transcription work. Markham also advises he will let Edward Stanhope (politician and owner of Bank's property estate) of the removal of the volume from Banks' personal library. Woide was an orientalist, biblical scholar and Assistant Librarian in the British Museum from 1782 until his death in 1790. Quantity: 1 volume(s) (338 pages).

Description: Golden Bay in December 1642, during the visit of Abel Tasman. A canoe of Maori men in the foreground, and two views of Tasman's ships, the Heemskerck and the Zeehaen (both flying the Dutch flag), sailing away in the left foreground, and surrounded by canoes and firing their canon in the middle distance. A rowboat (the cockboat of the Zeehaen) is between the two ships, with its occupants being attacked in the centre. Also in the left foreground can be seen the Heemskerck's pinnace towing the Zeehaen's cockboat back to the two ships after the attack. The hills of Golden Bay form a backdrop to the scene. The canoe in the foreground appears to be double-hulled. The rowers all have topknot hairstyles. The man standing on the right at the prow of the canoe is wearing a woven garment, covering his shoulders and tied at the breast, while the others have loin-cloths, and in one case, a garment that envelopes the torso.
