Fresh Collections and Fascinating Finds on DigitalNZ

DigitalNZ brings together the digital collections of over 200 different organisations from across Aotearoa—the perfect site to peruse our collective digital taonga. In this presentation, Thomasin Sleigh will introduce a selection of freshly added collections, share some interesting finds, as well as discuss more widely the complexities of metadata, discoverability, and the ways in which online search is changing.
