NZ Gazette has been published since 1841 but is only fully available online for issues since 2000. Christchurch City Council has scanned PDFs of the Gazette available from its central library, so the work to scan the Gazette has been done at least once. It looks like those scans might be distributed by LexusNexus, but this is presumably Crown copyright and one of the most important government publications. It shouldn't only be available through a private vendor. Rights for the government to distribute the PDFs must surely be part of the copyright agreement with LexusNexus. If not, the agreement should be changed or the Gazette should be re-scanned. If you're going to make it available under a Creative Commons license, as you do for current editions, you could probably get Google to do it for free and provide a full-text search service.
Researching the history of New Zealand, especially our government. Researching dates and specific text of orders and proclamations.
Providing access to these Gazette editions online where almost anyone can access them at any time of a day, rather than at a small number of limited-access locations (like the National Library).

Hi
Could I please have a copy of the Proclamation in the Gazette No. 82, of 27 September 1906 of a portion of land containing 52 acres 2 roods & 39 perches as a scenic reserve. The schedule might be headed Kennedy's Bush Scenic Reserve. This is for family history purposes (Thomas Kennedy was my great x 3 grandfather).
Thanks

Kia ora ,
I am doing some research on the old Moeraki cemeteries and while looking through papers past I found a notification about a liquor band for the Moeraki Kaik it was dated November 9th, 1902 .
I went through your archives online but found the years didn't go back that far or maybe I just didn't know where to look properly, my request to you is if you have it on record could I please get a copy, my curiosity is if it is still valid law. after my cemetery research I hope to do some Moeraki history of my own as I was born and bred there and as it happens was my father who got fined for breaking said law. This would be a good story for our family tree.
I thank you for you time and look forward to hearing from you.
Nga mihi,
Myra
