Christmas in New Zealand
It is becoming a bit of a tradition
at this time
of the year
on Heritage et AL for us to highlight some
of the Christmassy items and images we have in our heritage collections at Auckland Libraries.
The Duke of Gloucester on his Royal Visit enjoys a Southern Hemisphere Christmas:
Sir John Logan Campbell sent out annual Christmas greeting cards of which we have four
examples (1903-1906) in our collection:
For more information on Sir John Logan Campbell have a look at our
previous
posts
and our Historypin
collection.
There are some great Christmas
sets on Digital NZ if you are keen to see more images from around the
country. Internationally, the National Library of Australia has put
together a great list of
historical Christmas greetings that can be found in collections around
Australia and Toronto
Public Library has done the same for their collections.
Merry Christmas from the
Heritage and Research teams at Auckland Libraries.
