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.
