Maps, fields, and boundary cairns: demarcation and resistance in colonial Cyprus

An important component of the administration and control of a colony by an external power was the demarcation and classification of the land and its people. This was certainly the case in Cyprus under British colonial rule (1878-1960), as three case studies demonstrate: the topographical survey of the island by H. H. Kitchener in 1878-1883; the cadastral survey of 1909-1929; and the work of the forest delimitation commission from 1881 to 1896. This was not achieved without resistance on a variety of levels. Ironically, part of the opposition came from the structure of the colonial demarcation and classification project itself

Maximilian Hantken (1821-1893), founding professor of the Department of Palaeontology at Budapest University, was a pioneer in stratigraphic micropalaeontological studies. He assembled a collection of microphotographs of Mesozoic and Cenozoic carbonate rocks from Hungary and Italy for educational purposes. A catalogue of the 232 photos, mounted on wooden boards or cardboard is given here. The photos date back to the decade between 1872 and 1882, as shown by newspaper cuts pasted on the backsides

Die Schüler der Hammer Präparandie und ihr Wege als Lehrer – ein Werkstattbericht

Aus dem Nachlass des ehemaligen Rektors der evangelischen Südschule, Wilhelm Bußmann, wurden durch die ehemalige Leiterin des Stadtarchivs Hamm, Frau von Scheven, einige Dokumente gerettet, die für die Schulgeschichte Hamms von großem Interesse sind: u.a. Protokolle der evangelischen Präparandenanstalt 1878-1881 mit einer Liste der Abgänger. Dass in Hamm eine Präparandenanstalt existiert hat, die auf das erste Lehrerexamen an den Lehrerseminaren vorbereitet hat, ist m.W. bisher nicht bekannt gewesen. In allen einschlägigen Publikationen wird darüber nicht berichtet. Dass sie nicht wahrgenommen wurde, liegt wohl an der kurzen Zeit ihres Bestehens (1878 bis 1881) und an der geringen Schülerzahl (insgesamt 26 Personen). Die Abgängerliste dieser Präparandie lohnt es sich durchzugehen, da für einen eng begrenzten Jahrgangsbereich (Geburtsjahrgänge von 1861 bis 1866) der Werdegang zum Lehrer aufgezeigt werden kann, wenn er denn erfolgreich zu Ende gegangen wurde. Neben der Abgängerliste sind im Protokollbuch drei weitere Zöglinge erwähnt, die erst kurz vor Schließung der Anstalt aufgenommen wurden. Die Daten der drei Personen werden wiedergegeben, ohne dass deren Werdegang als Lehrer nachvollzogen werden kann. Sie bleiben daher in der statistischen Auswertung der Abgängerliste unberücksichtigt
