Catalogue Of The Hocken Library Dunedin
Compiled by The Librarian W.H. Trimble
Published by Otago Daily Times: Dunedin 1912 1st Edition 1st Printing

" The Catalogue of the Hocken Library, Dunedin (1912) represents the foundational printed record of one of New Zealand's most significant research collections. Compiled by librarian W. H. Trimble under the direction of the Hocken Trustees, the work documents in detail the holdings assembled from Dr. Thomas Morland Hocken's remarkable bequest—books, manuscripts, pamphlets, early New Zealand imprints, Māori materials, maps and historical documents central to the study of the country's colonial, cultural and political development. This first edition catalogues the collection at a critical formative moment, preserving the intellectual shape of the library as it entered public stewardship and providing researchers with an invaluable snapshot of its early twentieth-century scope.

Supported by a thoughtful preface from Wm. Downie Stewart, the catalogue highlights the Hocken Library's role as a repository of national memory and scholarly resources, emphasising its importance to New Zealand historians, bibliographers and students of Pacific exploration. Copies of this inaugural 1912 printing are now scarce, particularly in original boards and in condition suitable for ongoing reference. This volume will appeal strongly to collectors of New Zealand history, academic library ephemera, and those seeking early documentation of one of the Southern Hemisphere's most important research libraries.
