Historical inclusion and exclusion: New Zealand archives as primary resources for historical research

What is it about?

Archives New Zealand and the Alexander Turnbull Library were chosen as they are the two largest archives in New Zealand, and both have different but complementary roles – one the preservation of government records, the other, private collections. The history of each is provided as well as a discussion of relevant materials for Marketing historians first. This is followed by a discussion of the limitations of the archives with regard their colonial contexts and potential for ignoring the “other” over the years.
