What's interesting about this particular centre, located on the second floor of the library, is that it also includes access to the New Zealand Family History resources that gives information records such as Births, Deaths and Marriages, Cemetery records, census data, family histories, immigration, military, school lists etc.
This is particularly helpful for those, such as my students, who are wanting to complete whakapapa (genealogy) family trees or gain more understanding about a period in history or event that was often not taught about within their schooling.
I'll also be taking a group fieldtrip out there to assist in gathering information for completing online family trees on website as such: www.ancestry.com; www.familysearch.org.com; www.findmypast.co.nz; etc.
Happy researching...
