Hello! My interests include: New Zealand history (primarily early Mid-Canterbury history), heritage buildings and music. I also collect books, primarily old, rare, and new-print books. I use some of these to help with research.

Ambitions

My current ambitions is to create articles for historic buildings and sites in the Canterbury region. I am also adding numerous images to Wikimedia Commons.
