IWIDEX Database at Auckland Libraries

An excellent resource for the Hauraki and wider area is available to search at the Auckland Libraries Digital Library.  It is called IWIDEX.

Iwidex is an index for information on tribal history, tikanga-a-iwi and whakapapa held in the heritage and research collections of Auckland Libraries. It is an easy way to find information about Māori waka, traditions, waiata, haka, tribal whenua, maunga, marae, carving, weaving, stories and whakapapa.
