The Legal Māori archive : construction of a large digital collection

Reports on the establishment of the Legal Māori Project, and in particular on the construction of the first funded output from the Legal Māori Project, the Legal Māori Archive, a freely accessible online digital collection of around 14,000 pages of 19th century texts hosted by the New Zealand Electronic Text Centre (NZETC) at Victoria University of Wellington, comprising Māori language texts (including some English translations or versions) that reveal the bilingual nature of NZ's legal history. Explores the nature of the Legal Māori Project itself as well as some of the challenges faced by the NZETC in establishing the Archive, often typical of those associated with the generation of large digital collections.
