Hi,
I'm trying to find an internationally accessible (free?) archive on the late 80s and early 90s in NZ, espec. on main national events, politics and cultural events, plus local Auckland politics & events.
Does anyone know of such a database?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Amber

Hi Amber

As far as I am aware no such database exists. Your best bet is to visit one of the major libraries and check their various searchable databases and indexes.

For Auckland, the Auckland City Libraries site has a number of useful databases available online:

I've just realised I was assuming you meant 1980s and 90s - did you actually meant 1880s and 90s?
