The University of Auckland Library announces the official launch of its
Early New Zealand Books digital collection.
The collection currently comprises 20 books (23 volumes) including the
majority of those published in the first half of the 19th century.
The books are keyword searchable, individually or as a collection, with
keyword-in-context displays of hit terms at three different levels of
inclusiveness. Searches can be limited to words and phrases in picture
captions and chapter summaries, if desired.
All the illustrations are available at original size and double size for
viewing detail. There are links to images of original pages.
This collection is available primarily because of the enthusiasm and
dedication of John Laurie, Subject Librarian for Anthropology, Applied
Language Studies and Linguistics in the General Library, Te Tumu
Herenga, the University of Auckland Library.
The "Early New Zealand Books " collection is freely available on the
Web.
We believe that the collection will be of immense benefit to researchers
of the period and the general public. Many of the books have been
out-of-print and difficult to access in closed collections and keyword
searchability will facilitate a whole range of new studies.
It is hoped to expand the collection over the next few years to cover
more significant nineteenth century books. Forty targeted books are
listed on the website.
