Christchurch Libraries • 10 April 2024 –
Tūranga, the Christchurch central city library, is one of the most impressive achievements of the post-earthquake rebuild. It hosts Canterbury Stories, a community archive of photographs and publications, including the photo library of the Christchurch Star. Volunteer Wikimedians have a monthly meetup in Tūranga and it has hosted Wikipedia edit-a-thons in the past.
Canterbury books
Continuing with the approach pioneered by the West Coast Task Force, we will be using Wikisource to digitise and proofread out-of-copyright Christchurch and Banks Peninsula publications, which can be made available as e-books in EPUB or MOBI format.
- Hay (1915). Reminiscences of Earliest Canterbury. (Google Books, Canterbury Stories)
- Jacobson and Jacobson (1940). Akaroa and Banks Peninsula 1840–1940.
- Jacobson (1883). Tales of Banks Peninsula.
- Cowan, James (1923). Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand.
- Wall, Arnold (1922). The Botany of Christchurch.
- Speight, Wall, and Laing (1927). The Natural History of Canterbury
- L. Cockayne, & R. Speight. (1914). The Summit Road: its scenery, botany, and geology. Christchurch: Smith & Anthony.
- Baughan, Blanche Edith. Her Wikipedia article needs some work! She died in 1958, but published 5 volumes of poetry and 10 books of nature or travel writing that are now in the public domain in the USA and would be good candidates. Her remaining books were published in 1929, 1936, and 1945. There's also a new biography of her (Markwell, Carol (2021). Enough Horizon. Wellington: Cuba Press), so there's great scope for a Wikipedia/Wikidata/Wikisource project on her life and works. Some selected works:
- — (1908). "The Finest Walk in the World." The Spectator. (An account of the Milford Track, later published in Studies in New Zealand Scenery—but it would be good to get the map from it.)
- — (1911) Uncanny Country. Christchurch: Whitcombe & Tombs.
- — (1916). Studies in New Zealand Scenery. Auckland: Whitcombe and Tombs. Reprinted in 1922 as Glimpses of New Zealand Scenery with an Akaroa chapter added. (Internet Archive)
- — (1919). Akaroa. Auckland: Whitcombe and Tombs. (Google Books)
- Dodson, Arthur Dudley. (1930). "Reminiscences of Arthur Dudley Dobson, Engineer, 1841–1930". London: Whitcombe and Tombs. 225 pp. Google Books (copyright cleared by Google after request).
