The Making of a Colony 1815�1870 is an invaluable tool for teachers and students of New Zealand history. Presented in a dynamic yet manageable format, this atlas has been designed to fulfil the essential requirements for the New Zealand component of the Social Studies curriculum.

The 14 plates draw on the unique and exciting style of the Bateman New Zealand Historical Atlas and will challenge and extend our view of New Zealand in the nineteenth century.

An activity booklet is available that provides students and teachers with the opportunity to examine the plates in a more structured way or to support research into this period of New Zealand's history.
