The choice of Oamaru as an area for study was based mainly on its size. It can be described as an intermediate sized town which was what the thesis had set out to investigate. The years 1929 to 1935 were set as time limits to provide some guidelines for the thesis rather than as definitions
of the depression years. For the most part, discussion of Oamaru centres on the town itself. It would, however, be impossible to deal with Oamaru outside of the
whole North Otago region and therefore, the definition of
Oamaru is elastic, stretching at times to include most of the surrounding farming district and contracting at others
to refer only to the area within the town boundaries. |
