The University of Waikato has a strong history of digitization of material that supports research in New Zealand history, and in the development of finding aids for otherwise less-accessible New Zealand content.
Our Latest Digital Collection
The Library is proud to announce the launch of our latest digital collection.
The British Parliamentary Papers. Colonies: New Zealand
This collection contains digitised despatches and reports relating to New Zealand from selected volumes of the British Parliamentary Papers. This project was supported by a grant from DigitalNZ.
The New Zealand Collection contains several visual collections. We hold selections of photographs, postcards, maps and posters, usually with an emphasis on the Waikato. The following material has been made available online.
