Story

La Bibliothèque Hocken est une bibliothèque de recherche, centre d'archives historiques et galerie d'art néo-zélandaise d'importance nationale située à Dunedin. Elle est gérée par l'Université d'Otago.La bibliothèque Hocken est notamment spécialisée dans les documents relatifs à l'histoire de la Nouvelle-Zélande et du Pacifique, avec un accent particulier sur les régions d'Otago et de. Ouverte au grand public, elle constitue un des centres de recherche historique les plus importants du pays.HistoireLa bibliothèque a son origine dans la philanthropie du docteur (1836-1910), qui a confié en 1897 son importante collection privée à l'Université pour la mettre à disposition du public néo-zélandais. Celle-ci n'est cependant devenue accessible au grand public qu'en 1910, dans une aile du. Hocken était trop malade pour assister à l'inauguration le 23 mars 1910 et est mort deux mois après.La bibliothèque est restée jusqu'en 1965 au, puis sa collection iconographique et une part de plus en plus importante de ses autres collections ont été abritées sur d'autres sites aux alentours de l'Université d'Otago (les collections iconographiques se trouvaient dans la bibliothèque centrale de l'Université). En 1980, toutes ces collections ont été rassemblées dans un nouveau bâtiment conçu par, le Hocken Building (aujourd'hui renommé Richardson Building). Elles sont bientôt devenues trop importantes et une partie a été transférée sur un autre site sur Leith Street. L'ensemble a à nouveau été rassemblé en 1998 dans l'ancienne usine de l'Otago Co-operative Dairy Company sur Anzac Avenue, à l'est du campus principal. En 2005 il a été renommé Hocken Collections.

I have lost count of how many years Ian and I have been going to the Hocken Library to do our Family History always helpful always enjoy our time there and most times we find what we need
The McCahon exhibition far exceeded whatever expectations I had. And removed whatever preconceptions I had about his works. Especially The Wake series. Extraordinary, moving, beautiful.... It's on until March andI highly recommend.
Fantastic staff. Had a difficult topic to research and they did everything to advise and help me find what I wanted.
