Hi Charlie, let me get back to you on that. Due to the volume of requests we get for NZH, it's very much on our radar. We've been talking to Auckland City Libraries about working together to digitise the NZH, much as we have done with the Auckland Star. We'd make a proper joint announcement with ACL ahead of the launch of a title as significant as the herald.

Jericho: The Oamaru Times has come up in discussions in the Papers Past selection meetings, would you like me to request Oamaru Mail on your behalf too?

Mk2_Zephyr: No problem, we are planning more Auckland Star. As it is published by Fairfax, the precedent of availability up to 1945 has been set with the Evening Post release we did, so we hope eventually to provide something along these lines.

Thank you, Emerson.

KHP. I found some of my ancestors' school athletic results, too.
