New ways of exploring DigitalNZ

Posted on 23 February 2024 by Kelly

Telescope, binoculars, or the naked eye? We all have our own preferences when it comes to seeing the world. Acknowledging the many ways to explore DigitalNZ, we've revamped the Explore page.

A redesigned Explore page

You can still use keywords to search DigitalNZ, and we've added links to popular searches and highlighted our newest partner organisations.

A new feature is a slider to explore by date range. Or scroll down to read a featured DigitalNZ story from one of our users.

We regularly update the featured record highlighting interesting items from your collections. Users can also filter records by format and usage rights.

We also highlight the most viewed records and collections in the last week. And finally, at the end of the Explore page, you can discover a random record. 🪄

As usual all feedback is welcome. Email us at info@digitalnz.org. Happy exploring!
