- In July 1900 a memorial committee chaired by H. F. Wigram met in the city council chambers to decide how Canterbury’s fiftieth jubilee should be marked, weighing proposals that included completing the north transept of ChristChurch Cathedral and a jubilee home for incurable and chronic cases, before resolving to ballot members on the twenty-four schemes put forward., THE JUBILEE MEMORIAL (Star, 24 July 1900) (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS19000724.2.59), 1900-07-24T00:00:00.000Z

- The memorial also stood as the province’s South African war memorial: its estimated cost covered the Queen’s statue and “the memorial to our soldiers who have fallen in South Africa”, and it was to carry the names of the Canterbury men who fell., JUBILEE MEMORIAL. (Star, 13 April 1901) (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS19010413.2.85), 1901-04-13T00:00:00.000Z
- By April 1903 the statue was in position in Victoria Square, and the committee decided not to wait for the contingent panels still expected from England about 10 June, planning the unveiling before 24 May., Canterbury Jubilee Memorial. (Colonist, 22 April 1903) (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TC19030422.2.18.2), 1903-04-22T00:00:00.000Z
