Early New Zealand Books
Early
New Zealand
Books
is a project from the library of the University of
Auckland, New Zealand
, launched in 2005, that aims at providing keyword-searchable text of significant books published about New Zealand in the first two-thirds of the
nineteenth century
. It also includes the subsequently published memoirs, journals and
correspondence
of people
active
in this era.
The project
has been funded and managed by the
University of Auckland Library
and is freely available on
the internet
.
Each page is linked to an
image of
that page from the original book. This provides researchers with assurance of accuracy. There are special searches for
captions
to illustrations and chapter summaries as well as a general
full-text search
across the whole corpus. The images are available at original size and extra-large. Books are also available as downloadable
ePub
ebooks. It is one of a number of projects at the
University of Auckland
library that use the
b-engine
rendering engine
.
In
February 2015
three hundred
and twenty-seven volumes have been digitized. Twenty-seven were contributed by
Auckland Libraries
and twenty-four by the
Auckland War Memorial Museum
.
It is one of two similar collections of older New Zealand publications that have been digitised, the other being the
New Zealand Electronic Text Collection
from
Victoria University of Wellington
.
