The amount of valuable and correct official information that can be found in the many volumes of the New Zealand Gazette's is immense. The volumes themselves in hardcopy are a maze of small pieces of information scattered over thousands of pages, which make them tedious to search through. But digitised onto CD and made searchable, it is quick and easy to find what you are looking for. Below are a few of the items of interest that are in the Gazettes. These are just snippets out of some of the Gazettes. They also contain records of Native Adoptions, Registers of Doctors, Nurses, Dentist, Ministers, Plumbers, Civil Service, Teachers, Bankruptcy Notices, Magistrates, Military Appointments, Land Transfers, Company' beginning and ceasing trading, shareholders, name changes, and anything else that went through official channels.
