Publications
The Directors of HistoryWorks have produced a large number of
research reports over many years. We have also actively contributed to
many other publications. Below we list some of the more significant
works. It should be noted that this list, apart from excluding many
smaller items, is confined to those works which are already in the
public domain (such as research reports filed with the Waitangi
Tribunal). As such, many recent research outputs and others which have
not been publicly released are not listed here.
