It is all over now! Or at least, very soon now. The 8 weeks flew past, my internship is nearly over and now all that is left is to take a look at what has and has not been done in the meantime.<\/p>\n

What is done is a very nearly complete listing of the New Zealand House collection that has already started making its way into the catalogue (although it will take a while), but the process has now been set in motion; here is a sample:<\/p>\n

Report by the Right Hon. the Earl of Jersey, G.C.M.G., on the Colonial Conference at Ottawa<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

A list of House of Lords items to assist an NLS digitisation project and a stock-check of Special collections material are also things that are done. However there are still lots of highlights of the internship that I haven\u2019t had the chance to share.<\/p>\n

My little side project, Oroboros the Caterpillar had a sudden metamorphosis \u2013 not into a butterfly but into this:<\/p>\n

\"Oroboros<\/a>

Oroboros the Caterpillar metamorphosises into a beautiful… Viking longboat<\/p><\/div>\n

By the way I still don\u2019t know who added the mast, and wouldn\u2019t mind finding out (but good job whoever!)<\/p>\n

Also, amusing old advertisements:<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Central Hotel and its hydraulic passenger lift<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2026and oh, so wrong slightly more current ones:<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

New Zealand: not all about trout fishing<\/p><\/div>\n

Pretty pictures of New Zealand from a booklet on the 1907 international exhibition:<\/p>\n

\"Images<\/a>

Images from the New Zealand Collection: Milford Sound and Mount Cook<\/p><\/div>\n

So much more I want to share, but better be reasonable and stop.\"Jackass<\/a><\/p>\n

These past eight weeks were lovely, and who knows what comes next?<\/p>\n

In any case: farewell from me, at least for now.<\/p>\n
