A great account with photographs of this scheme - thanks blogger Don.
We live in a digital age emphasised with COVID lockdowns around the world and no less National Libraries and museums in New Zealand. No longer was it possible to make physical visits to these places for research and enjoying exhibits on display.
Some over the last few years have made comments such as " Information on the internet is untrue." "People paid to have their information in that book so is embellished" All these statements are myths - possibly the outcome of facing new technology with scepticism.
National Library of New Zealand, Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland City Council heritage images - kura , Auckland University early New Zealand Books, Archives New Zealand are some of the New Zealand websites putting digital records up of books, photos, documents. Nga Tonga Sound and Vision re putting up many of those early films and radio interviews.
Overseas from the comfort of my New Zealand home can look up online Trove and National Maritime Museum Australia.
Even further afield to National Library of Scotland and the National Maritime Museum Greenwich, England.
Yes for researchers and writers of history and family history digital opens many new doors of information.
