Kia ora,

Just in case anyone missed it- (went live a few weeks ago) check out the Marsden Online Archive- https://marsdenarchive.otago.ac.nz/

A collaboration between Te Uare Taoka a Hâkena (Hocken Library) and the University of Otago Centre for Research on Colonial Culture resulted in the creation of this online archive which is of national significance. Containing Marsden’s letters and journals, as well as the papers of other early NZ missionaries that are held in the Hocken Collections at the University of Otago Library. 599 of these letters and journals have been made available on the Marsden Online Archive to date. It truly is a treasure trove.

More information on Samuel Marsden, the Bay of Islands in 1814 to 1823, the Church Missionary Society and the early Mâori Language can be found in these links.
