NEW CD RESOURCES

Have just got hold of 3 new CD's (from Colonial Books) full of information for Thames and the surrounding area.
I will be collating/printing some of these sections, then indexing and placing at The Treasury, Thames.

New Zealand Nurses Register 1903 - 1920:
an excellent resource that gives, Name, training and service details, plus residence.
Remember there is a major collection of NZ Gazettes at The Treasury, if you want to see the actual book and search other years.

New Zealand Medical Practitioner Register 1873, 1882-1920:
as with the Nurses register a great overview of service and current residence is given.

WWII Ballot Lists:
a great wealth of info on men throughout New Zealand, Thames names appear to under the Paeroa district.

Thames Historian - TOSS HAMMOND

A new article on the The Treasury JOURNAL is about Mr W G Hammond MBE (1869-1967), known as Toss Hammond.  A wellknown and respected historian of his time who had a wealth of information on history of the whole Coromandel Peninsula as well as a prolific collector of artefacts.

The journal has a copy of an article that Toss wrote on his life as a boy on the goldfields, which was printed in a School Journal in 1966.

The Treasury also has a collection of Mr Hammond's manuscripts as well as several Oral recordings on CD. These can be listened to at The Treasury and maybe purchased if required.

Other manuscripts by Mr Hammond are to be found at the Auckland Museum, information on these can be found via their catalogue. Search as: Thomas William George Howard HAMMOND for best results.
