Archives New Zealand and the National Library have made more than 141,000
service files on the First World War available online. All 141,000 files can now be accessed at: http://www.archives.govt.nz/world-war-one This is probably the most complicated digitization project ever undertaken by the Archives New Zealand. The National Library, through the Alexander Turnbull Library, has now made the "H-series" of official war photographs available online. The images were taken by the official war photographer, Henry Armytage Sanders and provide the most comprehensive visual record of New Zealanders on the Western front >from 1917 to 1918. The "H" Series is the first Turnbull Library collection, made open to the public under new a New National Library policy that allows reuse without restrictions.
