Encircled Lands: Te Urewera, 1820-1921 was launched in the Urewera on 30 November. This richly illustrated history of Te Rohe Potae o Te Urewera over a hundred years contextualises Tuhoe’s never-ending quest for authority in their lands. Award-winning author Judith Binney has written another spell-binding history – already greeted with acclaim by the Urewera hapu and readers all over the country.

The Cartwright Papers is a clear account of both the 'unfortunate experiment' at National Women's Hospital and the Cartwright Inquiry of 1987-88. In/visible Sight explores the history of mixed-descent families of southern New Zealand, and offers new insights into our colonial past.
