New Zealand Kauri

In this gallery you will find a range of historical primary sources relating to New Zealand’s kauri tree -its environment and exploitation.

These primary sources range from paintings and photographs to cartoons and posters. Collectively they record the changing face of the kauri forest, timber and gum industry over the last 180 or so years.
