Subject areas : multidisciplinary, New Zealand studies

Notes

NRAM was originally published from 1979 to 1993 in paper format. It was the successor to the Union Catalogue of New Zealand and Pacific Manuscripts in New Zealand Libraries first published in 1954, with interim editions in 1968 and 1969.

In 1998 a project to redevelop NRAM as an electronic database was initiated by the NRAM Taskforce. The electronic database includes most of the collections reported to the paper format NRAM (except for those collections in the A,B, and C volumes which are held in the Alexander Turnbull Library), as well as many collections reported in more recent years

NRAM is not a comprehensive database of all archives held in all the country's repositories. Researchers are encouraged to also search the databases of individual repositories (many of which are listed on the NRAM links page) or to forward specific enquiries to repositories likely to hold relevant information.

The NRAM site has been structured to be screen reader compatible.
