Kintalk blog merges with Heritage et AL

No Comments »

Just a brief note to let you all know that our Kintalk blog has now merged with sister blog Heritage et AL. If you subscribe to Kintalk, then I encourage you to change your subscription over to Heritage et AL to be sure of being kept up to date with all the family history happenings, and to learn more about our heritage collections and heritage news.

Kintalk first went live in July 2008, originally edited and authored by Karen Kalopulu and the family history team; and was carried on in her name after she passed away in 2009.

Popular and information rich posts from Kintalk have been migrated over to Heritage et AL, so you will find them there instead.

Heritage et AL was launched in May 2012 . . .  "Four research centres and the Sir George Grey Special Collections and a whole heap of incredible heritage library collections, arranged around two harbours and many volcanoes! Plus cool links and heritage news stories. Stay tuned .."

 Now both blogs will be together on the Heritage et AL blogspot - so don't forget to subscribe to keep up to date!

 Happy hunting . . .

Kintalk makes Inside History's Top 50 Genealogy Blog Awards third year in a row!

1 Comment »

Here at the Central Auckland Research Centre we are very excited to see that we have made Inside History magazine's "50 blogs you need to read" list for the third year in a row!

We've always tried our best to concentrate on the quality of our blog posts, but this year we've redoubled our efforts to increase the quantity as well - always a challenge to find time in a busy research centre.

We do have some secret weapons - team members with a ton of research experience, as you might expect - but excellent writing skills too. Three in particular are published authors - one has published local history books, another romance fiction - and yet another writes flash fiction! What a star team!





We were especially chuffed to see that we'd made "Inside History's Hall of Fame" - as being one of only four blogs to have made this list three years in a row!

And what good company we are in (as always!)

Thank you so much to you readers who we know read our posts however often we publish!

And to Jill Ball (GeniAus) and Inside History magazine for selecting Kintalk - we're very grateful!

Our congratulations to our NZ industry colleagues Te Ara and The Hocken for making this year's Top 50 list too!

Happy blogging!
