BECU used to put out a financial magazine I believe every 4 months per year. In the summer of 2002 I was honored to be featured in their magazine. I got a kick out of how they composed three different pictures to make one. The mirror and control panel was superimposed over a picture looking out the side window and the image of me was superimposed in the mirror. (Fake news comes to mind).

Description: Wilson A. Bentley first became fascinated with snow during his childhood on a Vermont farm, and he experimented for years with ways to view individual snowflakes in order to study their crystalline structure. He eventually attached a camera to his microscope, and in 1885 he successfully photographed the flakes. This photomicrograph and more than five thousand others supported the belief that no two snowflakes are alike, leading scientists to study his work and publish it in numerous scientific articles and magazines. In 1903 Bentley sent prints of his snowflakes to the Smithsonian, hoping they might be of interest to Secretary Samuel P. Langley.

On 22 August 1873 parliament passed the Province of Westland Act. This Act established an area roughly the same as today’s Westland District as one of New Zealand’s ten provinces. It was the last of the provinces to be created and, after the subsequent abolition of the Provinces in 1876, the shortest-lived.
With the creation of the Provinces in 1853, Westland was originally included as part of the Canterbury Province, an area which spanned the west to the east coast of the South Island. Westland was administered remotely through a Canterbury Provincial office in Hokitika; however the gold rushes of the 1860s created logistical and political challenges for this arrangement. Tensions over public works schemes on the West Coast led to the formation of a separation league, and residents of Hokitika and Kaniere petitioned the Legislative Council for the ‘West Canterbury Goldfields’ to be made a separate province. In 1868 the ‘County of Westland’ was created, separating it from Canterbury Province along the Southern Alps, a border which was followed when the area was given full provincial status in 1873.
Ultimately, after much political debate, the system of provincial government was abolished in 1876 and replaced with central government. Westland Province is now known as Westland District and, along with the Buller and Grey Districts, forms part of the West Coast Region.
This map by G. Mueller from the Lands and Survey Department gives a detailed view of the Province of Westland as it was in 1874, including towns, roads, as well as some blocks and sections.

science data collected was good, & here's what telemetry data we recovered during the probe core's brief operation. Battery power should have lasted longer but one of the science experiments was hooked up wrong and sucked way too much power - almost fried

While staff and archives were safe, the building and its shelving were damaged. Staff left the building that afternoon and some were not to return until April. The building was well within the central city cordon red zone and access was only regained with difficulty on the Monday following the earthquake. Staff initially re-occupied a building in a deserted city that was insecure, without power or water and subject to continuing significant aftershocks. For a number of months they were the only people working for several city blocks as they carried out repairs, salvage work and prepared the office for eventual re-opening.
The images are from photographs taken by Archives staff in the months following 22 February 2011.

Greetings. My name is Andrew Jackson Wright. I work as an Archive Support Assistant here at Archives NZ. My main responsibility is to retrieve materials for researchers in the Reading Room. Without me no one gets their files - so be nice ;)
My favourite archive is “Fruity Bits” because it makes me nostalgic for a time in New Zealand when things seemed simpler. You didn’t have to worry about what you were doing on a Friday night because there was only one thing to do - go dancing. You didn’t need to worry about whether to have Thai or Malaysian for dinner because there were no Thai or Malaysian restaurants – only the Green Parrot.
This is the last known copy of “Fruity Bits”. On Febuary 15th 1932 a Miss Emily Mueller wrote to the Ministry of Internal affairs complaining of the publications ‘demoralising effect on our idle boys’. Miss Mueller supplied two copies of “Fruity Bits” with her letter. These are now in the collection of Archives NZ. The editor of “Fruity Bits”, John Tonking, was brought before the courts and convicted of ‘causing to be printed an indecent document’. He was fined 10 pounds and discharged. The remaining copies of “Fruity Bits” were destroyed. The Frolicsome Fun was over.
