Field notes
The archive maps its subjects across named regions, from Goodletite in Westland to Bowenite in Fiordland, and frames each as a route through records, specimens, and landscape. Its source list includes newspapers, survey and mining records, scientific descriptions, museum labels, and photographs. The contact invitation specifically asks for corrections, provenance details, and research leads, treating local collections and personal records as possible additions to the documented history.
