History of the Index
This index is from an unpublished manuscript compiled about 1925 by the missionary Rev. Henry James Fletcher (1868-1933).
In its original form it was 987 pages long, a vast index of Māori names referred to in books and journals, including
the names of boundaries, Māori individuals, canoes, trees, landmarks and geographical locations. It was Fletcher's
greatest piece of work, and one that merited improved access.
The New Zealand Collection of the University of Waikato Library holds a microfilm copy of the index which was scanned, converted into a Word file, proofread, edited and converted into webpages.
