Request shapefile of New Zealand’s provinces, 1853–1876 from Te Ara

Can I please request a shapefile of the generated map of the boundaries of New Zealand’s provinces, 1853–1876. this is needed to show as part of a university data set in GIS.

Be able to show the historical boundaries that are part of the holidays that are celebrated each year. It will mean that I can use this to help with the creation of a choropleth map of the historic census data within the Auckland region.
