PapersPast has a fresh addition of several smaller provincial newspapers in June. These include publications such as the Hawera Star (1936-1950), Hutt News (1949-1960), and the Matamata County Mail (1953-1965), but there are a number of others as well. Happy researching!

Good news for genealogists of Aotearoa. Issues from 1946 to 1965 of the Evening Post newspaper have just been added to PapersPast. Lots to search on and a ton of local history now available.

Great news. PapersPast have added issues of The [Christchurch] Press from 1990 to 1995! They will be a mine of information, especially for those researching recent family history, especially in that part of Aotearoa.

I noticed some recent additions to newspapers on PapersPast
- Ruapehu Bulletin (1989-1999, 2001)
- Taupo Times (1952-1974)
- Waimarino Bulletin (May 1983-February 1989)While not major additions, they all offer an fascinating insight to life not so long ago. Interesting that there are now papers from the 21st century available.

The first 20 years (1939-1959) of The New Zealand Listener are now available on Papers Past. This is an amazing treasure trove of Aotearoa's history and society.

In my previous post I mentioned updates to the Papers Past newspaper collection. I should have added there is also a separate magazine and journals section there. The most recent updates there are from February this year.
- Digger (Invercargill RSA) (1920-1921)
- Forest and Bird (1976-2004)For those into family history research, the Police Gazettes in the magazine and journals section are an absolute gold mine of information. Or maybe not!
