Māori land indexes online
It has just become easier to track down historic Māori land records.
The University of Auckland has digitised the indexes to Native Land Court records from 1865 to 1910.
The information drawn from the handwritten records has been available as floppy discs, CD-ROMs and a subscription database.
Now anyone can use the open access website to locate the relevant minute book.
Copies of the minute books are held in major libraries around New Zealand and in district offices of the Māori Land Court, with the original minute books at Archives New Zealand.
The books are a valuable resource for anyone researching a claim, local history, a case study, genealogy or whakapapa.
