Great to hear you've uncovered some gold in there, Ian. No specific dates at this stage for the Taranaki Daily News, but we are aiming to release more this year.

Many thanks PapersPast.

Have found new stuff in the NZ Spectator and the Wairarapa Times-Age.

Do you have a timetable for the next batch of Taranaki Daily News?

Good morning folks!

I've been remiss in updating you, my apologies! We've got a content release going live on the site this morning, including the Press up to 1979 and the Wairarapa Age up to 1938. This release also includes some gap-filling for the Timaru Herald and the Waikato Times.

Happy hunting  :)

Thanks Lucy! This content all came from our collaborative programme - you might be interested to know that the Grey River Argus additions were funded in partnership with a Wellington woman, she chose the title and paid for half of it to get it online. Normally we partner with various community or civic groups, but she took this on herself - so we owe a very big thanks to her for this.
