Most blogs provide information, with the content chosen by the Author. Input from readers is limited (at most) to leaving a comment for the writer, and future visitors to the site to read.
This week I’ve added something a little different. If you look to the right of this blog you’ll see a “widget”.
What’s a Widget, I can hear you asking? In this case it’s a mini search engine (like Google without the adverts)!
This one is linked to the DigitalNZ website, and can be used to find images and articles held by a variety of New Zealand Organisations.
The search I’ve created is for “Embroidery in New Zealand”, and ongoing interest of mine. You can use this site to search for relevant items held in a variety of collections. The majority of the items returned relate to items in the Te Papa Collection, but also includes National Library, Ministry of Culture and Heritage and many more contributors.
You can then restrict the results by date, source, item type, creator etc. to highlight things you’d like to know more about.
Go on, give it a go! Try a search (or several), and let me know what you find and like best.
