Free online archive of New Zealand and Pacific Islands texts and heritage materials

This morning while perusing Tiki Talk, I came across a recent post about New Zealand Electronic Text Centre’s free online archive of New Zealand and Pacific Islands texts and heritage materials.

Of particular interest is the inclusion of all 76 issues of the magazine Te Ao Hou The New World. Te Ao Hou was published from 1952 to 1976 by New Zealand's Department of Maori Affairs. According to its first editorial, Te Ao Hou aimed "to provide interesting and informative reading for Maori homes … like a marae on paper, where all questions of interest to the Maori can be discussed."

If you have the inclination and the time, I bet you could find all sorts of other archived goodies on NZETC's site!
