Julius von Haast 1822 - 1886
His broad contribution to science, exploration and museums is covered in his article in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. DNZB but his considerable early contribution to archaeology in New Zealand is noted only briefly there.
He was the first director of Canterbury Museum. Haast started collecting material for a museum while Provincial Geologist for Canterbury. The Provincial Government voted money for a museum in 1868 and it opened in 1870. Finds of moa bones in Canterbury swamps allowed the collections to be built up by exchange of these items.
His published biography is von Haast, H F, 1848: The life and times of Julius von Haast, explorer, geologist, museum builder. Wellington.
Aspects of his contribution to archaeology are covered in Green (1972) and Law (1972). His work was not without considerable controversy - mainly over his claim of autochthonous moa hunters. There was also an ethical controversy - See Yaldwyn et al. 2006.
