It's taken a lot of hard work, but Rodney Libraries is now very proud to bring to you the first stage of Local History online. Click on the link and find a description of what Local History online is all about, together with links through to local Rodney museums and other places of historical interest such as Couldrey House in Wenderholm and the Puhoi Bohemian museum website.
Local History Online is a combined collection of local history indexes of Rodney, North Shore and Waitakere Libraries. The Newspaper indexes cover selected articles in the community newspapers of Rodney, North Shore and Waitakere. The Image indexes cover digital image collections of North Shore and Waitakere Libraries. The indexes can be used to research a local event, historical building, or notable local person etc. Indexes are continually being updated.
Rodney Libraries index to the Rodney Times is still in its infancy. Indexing is occurring retrospectively and content will increase over time. The aim is to eventually provide access to the content of all issues of the Rodney Times.
Pay a visit and have a look around. Its all our history and worth a second look.
