  • Te Ara - the Encyclopedia of New Zealand is an online encyclopedia created by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage of the New Zealand Government. The project was established in 2002 and the website launched in 2005. Te Ara is a long-term project, although much content is already visible. The encyclopedia is edited by historian Jock Phillips and has a staff of writers, editors, image and resource researchers and designers. It is organised by themes, and its first theme focused on telling the stories of New Zealanders. It covers the migration of peoples to New Zealand, and the history of their settlement – both New Zealand's indigenous Māori people, and other immigrant groups. An overview section, New Zealand in Brief, presents concise information and facts about the country. In 2006 a second thematic group of entries was published entitled Earth, Sea and Sky and covering ocean fish, sea and shorebirds and other marine life, the interactions of people and the sea, the country's natural resources, and shaping forces such as geology, volcanology, weather and climate. Distinctively New Zealand features are the main focus of the content, and scientific and technical data is presented within its social and human context. Te Ara's third theme, The Bush, was launched in late 2007. It covers New Zealand's indigenous landscapes, forests, plants and animals, and the ways that people have used them or attempted to understand them. The Bush comprises more than 100 entries, covering such topics as early mapping, tramping, conifer–broadleaf forests, taniwha, Māori exploration, threatened species, logging native forests, moa, kiwi and a great deal more. A further six thematic groups of entries will appear progressively – roughly one a year until 2013. In 2008 the theme being prepared focused broadly on farming and rural life. Geographical information is also being added progressively, and by early 2008 included Auckland, the Bay of Plenty, Canterbury, Manawatū and Horowhenua, Northland, South Canterbury, the Volcanic Plateau, Wairarapa and Wellington. The previous official New Zealand encyclopedia was An Encyclopaedia of New Zealand, first published in 1966 and edited by A.H. McLintock. A digitised version of this work now forms part of the Te Ara website. Entries on topics relating substantially to Māori are presented in Māori as well as English.
  • Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand est une encyclopédie en ligne créée par le Ministry for Culture and Heritage du gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Le projet est établi en 2002 et le site lancé en 2005. Te Ara est un projet de longue durée, quoique beaucoup de contenu est déjà consultable. L'encyclopédie est éditée par l'historien Jock Phillips et un groupe d'écrivains, éditeurs, chercheurs et spécialistes en images et ressources, et designers. Elle est organisée par thème, dont les premières sur l'immigration et l'histoire des Maori et d'autres groupes ethniques. L'information géographique est en train d'être ajoutée. Une section de « vue d'ensemble » présente des thèmes à être approfondis plus tard. En 2006 un nouveau thème, « Earth, Sea and Sky », est publié, contenant de l'information sur la faune et flore du pays, des sujets maritimes, de la géologie, la volcanologie et la météorologie. Sept autres thèmes sont en cours de création et seront inaugurés plus ou moins annuellement dès 2007. Ce projet est précédé par le Encyclopedia of New Zealand de 1966, édité par A.H. McLintock. Une version numérisée est présente sur le site de Te Ara. L'encyclopédie Te Ara est bilingue, avec des articles à la fois en anglais et en maori. Toutefois, certaines pages en anglais n'ont pas d'équivalent en version maori, et l'encyclopédie en maori redirige donc le lecteur vers la version anglaise.
