This research project is concerned with the use of public libraries only though whakapapa researchers may well use many different institutions such as museum libraries and archives, as well as repositories of tribal information. Modern public libraries supply a wide range of sources for whakapapa researchers including access to online sources.
This research project focuses on whakapapa researchers in New Zealand. The bulk of information sources for Māori family history will be located in New Zealand though information may also be available in institutions overseas. In addition significant numbers of Māori, and by extension whakapapa researchers, live in other countries, particularly Australia where almost 73,000 people of Māori descent live[1]. This project is not concerned with ex-patriate whakapapa researchers and looks specifically at those using New Zealand public libraries.
