History Journals

Over the past several years I have compiled many research journals which relate to the history of the Kaihu Valley, North Ripiro West Coast and South Hokianga in Northland, New Zealand. The period covers the arrival of the first nation people (Maori) in about 1300 AD, to the year 1900. In some cases, this time span overlaps as details of the history require. Links to each of the journals are available here.
