Notes

"Joseph Divis (1885-1967) photographed life in New Zealand mining towns where he lived and worked between 1909 and 1935. His images provide a unique record of life in some small communities, especially the now-abandoned town of Waiuta, near Reefton"--Introd Table of contents: Early days on the West Coast -- Waihi -- Overseas -- Waiuta in the early 1930s : town and mining -- Waiuta in the early 1930s : people and events
