Papers Past is an ambitious effort by the National Library of New Zealand to digitize and share over 250,000 pages from historic New Zealand newspapers. The project started in 2001, and the whole collection was made completely searchable in 2009. The materials here cover the years 1839 to 1945, and they feature 61 publications from all regions of New Zealand. Visitors can search through the collection, or they are also welcome to browse by year, region, or newspaper title. The collection also includes an extensive selection of Mori newspapers, which are available in the Mori Niupepa Collection, found in the "Introduction" section of the site.
