Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga is launching a new version of the Archaeological Reports Digital Library on the 30th of July. The revamp of the library has made it more accessible, speedy, modern, and user-friendly. Perhaps the biggest change is that you will now be able to download the reports directly instead of emailing to request them.

Check out this wonderful new book by Neville Peat. 
Commissioned by the Whenua Hou Committee and Department of Conservation, it captures a very important chapter of Murihiku history. It is selling like hot cakes. It’s about Whenua Hou, Codfish Island. It includes a chapter on archaeology on the island, and a profile of Atholl Anderson as a descendant of the mixed marriages on the island.

You will see from the style the eNews consists largely of links.
Our preferred form is a few lines at most, with a link or an email contact for further information.
At a pinch we may self-host longer documents to link in the eNews, but they must be submitted as pdf or word documents as attachments to emails. They need some processing so there may be a delay in their being used.
If you are running a conference we will usually run a link once only - and if you don't have a website for it yet, then tell us when you have. 
Relevant job advertisements are welcome - there is no charge.
