Bridget tells us one of her highlights for 2016 - the new format for that indispensible family history aid, Papers Past.
One of the highlights for me was the new format for
PapersPast that was introduced
by the National Library.
PapersPast has always been intuitive to use but the way it's set up now makes it even more so. Also, the loveliest thing is having on the
same site access to the databases Magazines and Journals,
Letters and Diaries
and the Parliamentary
Papers. The way it has been formatted makes it easier to see more of the Māori
content in newspapers and magazines. It also means that if you were unaware of
these other resources, they are there on the home page, easy to click on and
explore.

The Newspaper section contains digitised NZ and Pacific newspapers from the 19th and
20th centuries. If you are wishing to make a specific search, you will have a
more rewarding experience if you use Search Articles using the different
sections to limit your search.
The Magazines and Journals section contains
digitised New Zealand journal publications. Each magazine and journal has its own page
containing information about the publication, including the date range
available online. Well worth exploring if you haven't visited lately.
