Awards/funding - Funded by a grant from the Department of Internal Affairs

Abstracted by - Judith Fyfe, Hugo Manson and Jean Harton

Interviewer(s) - Hugo Manson and Judith Fyfe

Accompanying material - Notes to accompany the project, an index to the contents of the interviews (49 pages), a report on the pilot project, the interview guide and a catalogue of interviewee names and NZOHA tape numbers.
