Take a look at听the听听Staff have created a site detailing the provenance of books held in the collections, with an emphasis on those held in the听Macmillan Brown Library. The site shows the life of the works by detailing bookplates, signatures and various other forms of past ownership.

Currently in the first stages of development they have already made some fascinating discoveries such as works containing the signature of听听(pictured above), works from the original听听Library and numerous other individuals from the early European settlement of Waitaha. The site will continue to grow as new discoveries are made.
