During my history hunt, I realised that while lots of information is becoming more available... the fantastic fun fact nuggests are in many out of print history books. To access them via the Timaru District Libraries, and the South Canterbury Musuem. My history hunt deep dives started during covid pandemic and I was lucky enough to have borrowed some books from my father... some passed down from family. Its so helpful to have them on the shelf ready to refrence... but I know not everyone has hours to spend working out which ones to read... so I thought... maybe I could write a book club blog on my favourite local history books to you determine what sparks your interest.
