Welcome to Finding New Zealand
Presented
By
BrianHooker Mission Statement: Why did I build this large site and why did I release it on the Internet? Short answer: Because it needed to be done; Amoris causa.
The theme -: New Zealand previous to 1840* The object of this web site is twofold - firstly to provide the story of New Zealand previous to 1840, a period usually glossed over in standard history books; secondly to honour the memory of the early participants in the discovery, exploration, and settling of this country. New Zealanders today owe so much to the men and women named or acknowledged in these pages. Early New Zealand cartography, navigation, exploration, discovery, surveying and artworks.

*The date of the founding of New Zealand was February 6, 1840 when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the British Crown and Māori who for generations had been living in New Zealand. Although I have indicated that my pages relate to events before the founding date I have not too strictly adhered to the date of February 6 1840. Some of my pages discuss material and show images of a slighter later date. B.H.
