Search: Legal Queers
This widget is set up to locate newspaper articles, photographs and "community content" using the string [Homosexual OR "Civil Union"]. One of the treasures unearthed is this photo from New Zealand History Online, an initiative of Manatū Taonga, Ministry of Culture and Heritage, of what appears to be worship of Sonja Davies:
Many public figures were drawn into groups supporting or opposing law reform. Here, reform supporters Sonja Davies (left) and Lloyd Geering (right) talk with the bill's sponsor, MP Fran Wilde, and Bill Logan of the Gay Task Force. Accessed from http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/homosexual-law-reform-supporters. |
Of course, the amount of content that is available varies by subject to subject. Though, this is one of the strengths of the widget; DigitalNZ states that much of the content users can search is not available through search engines. Using this interface opens up access to content provided by people who are eager to get their content out there and used. The New-Zealand focus makes this content much more useful to both local and international communities who desire to use our content.
