A graduate of the University of Otago, Dr McLean was the founding Head of the Archive of\u00a0 Maori and Pacific Music at the University of Auckland from 1970 until his retirement in 1992. The collection that has been donated to the Hocken is Dr McLean&#8217;s personal collection of the original tapes, notes, transcriptions and translations of the waiata, cds and mint copies of his books. The material relates mainly\u00a0to NZ Maori with recordings dating back to 1958, but also includes 30 hours of material recorded in Aitutaki and Mangaia in 1967. Although it duplicates what is already available through the Auckland archive, this generous donation will allow more researchers to access the material here at the in Dunedin. The collection will be useful to\u00a0iwi, musicians, historians, anthropologists, ethnomusicologists and other researchers\u00a0who will be able to listen to the recordings through the digital copies, and read the notations and transcripts.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_6D2Od6cqEBc\/S8Y-bF-v8DI\/AAAAAAAAADM\/jijAws1E-Uo\/s1600\/McLean+collection+3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_6D2Od6cqEBc\/S8Y-bF-v8DI\/AAAAAAAAADM\/jijAws1E-Uo\/s320\/McLean+collection+3.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of our most significant\u00a0donations in 2009\u00a0was the Dr Mervyn McLean collection of Maori and Cook Islands music.
