A diverse range of texts are included in this collection; however, all share in common an association with New Zealand.
From works published more than a century ago, to those published within the last few years, it aims to make some of New Zealand's most important texts easily available to all. The collection includes significant works from Katherine Mansfield, Samuel Butler, Elsdon Best, Charles Darwin and Lady Mary Anne Barker, among many others.
