Upcoming Public History Lectures
Our History Programme and Historical Research Unit, in conjunction with the Waikato Museum, are proud to present a series of free public History lectures featuring guest speakers from New Zealand and overseas. Topics covered will include New Zealand environmental history, art history, animals and culture and the formation of transpacific indigenous networks.
The first lecture features
