Māori Collections
Each of our three libraries has an Adult Māori Section and also a Junior Māori Section. In Hastings War Memorial Library the Adult Māori Section has both reference and lending collections and is located on the ground level overlooking Civic Square and Ngā Pou o Heretaunga.
These collections contain items of cultural, historical, social and language significance for all of Aotearoa. Emphasis is given to any material of a local nature, particularly Ngāti Kahungunu.
The kaupapa is to provide books and other materials which foster the cultural needs of Māori and promote an understanding of Māoritanga in the community.
As more items are published, including bilingual and Māori language publications these are added to the collections.
As well as books, the Māori Collection in Hastings and Flaxmere Libraries include:
At Havelock North Library this material is shelved with other like items, e.g. Māori magazines in the Magazines Section.
Māori Music CDs are held with the CD collections in Hastings Library.
Listed here are various websites to assist with you research in Māori related subjects.
On our shelves we have a wide selection of books on various aspects of the Treaty of Waitangi. Treaty of Waitangi Reports are available in the Māori Section at Hastings Library.
Fletcher indexed these Māori names from nine books including the Ancient History of the Maori, Old Whanganui, the first volume of the Lore of the Whare Wānanga, and from the first 19 volumes of the Journal of the Polynesian Society, the first 42 volumes of the Transactions of the New Zealand Institute, seven essays from the Transactions and nine Dominion Museum Bulletins.
