Puke Ariki

• Archives Intern

  • Nov 2015 - Feb 2016

  Victoria University of Wellington summer scholarship: I participated as a research assistant for the Marsden Fund “Soldiers of Empire” project. This scholarship was conjointly awarded to me through Puke Ariki and Victoria University. I was required to catalogue and index the large New Plymouth Garrison Order book from 1864 for the 57th and 70th British army regiments. I created an online public database and presented my research findings to the public at an open seminar. The work I completed has contributed to the History Department of Victoria University and Puke Ariki. This job enabled me to develop my research abilities, confidence in public speaking and expertise with IT programmes including Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.
