Hi all - update time!
We've recently completed a few changes to our systems that will hopefully prevent the sort of outages we experienced over the xmas break, and now that this has been done, it's time for new content.

We'll have another 100,000-ish pages of content going live next week, and next up after that (probably in May or early june at a guess) we'll be putting out all or some of:

Clutha leader
Mataura Ensign
Taranaki Daily News
Tupeka Times

- these will mainly cover up to 1920, with the Mataura Ensign going up to 1914.

The TDN should be interesting, it's 40,000 pages worth itself and brings much better coverage of Taranaki to PP.

That should see us up to the end of May, and then hopefully we'll have another release shortly after that!

Thanks PAPERSPAST.

You are my favourite site for research. Just not enough hours in my day to do it justice and so, so easy to get side tracked with things of historic interest, that were not part of my original agenda, but need to see the light of day 100 + years later.

Identifying the F ROLLITT [F CARR-ROLLETT] published legacy of hundreds of thousands of words describing NZ of the day, in a large number of articles under pen names, spurs me on. Just jealous that it was not our families legacy, penned by one of our family.

Items I could never have found in the reading room of our local libraries.

Keep up the good work.
