"Several months later than intended, the 1860s-80s chapter of the fully revised Morel catalogue of commemorative medals of New Zealand is online on my archive.org page at
https://archive.org/details/@james_tigernuts, and in the RNSNZ repository at
www.RNSNZ.org.nz/collector-info/catalogues. It can be downloaded from both sites, and can also be consulted and searched online as a flipbook on the archive.org page, along with the latest versions of the eight other chapters in the Morel and MacMaster medal catalogue series that have been released so far."

Here's the book's Introduction. -Editor

This is part of a projected multi-volume series updating Leon Morel's Catalogue of Medallic Commemoratives of New Zealand, 1865-1940 (1996) and the Supplement published in 2000. This new edition marks a departure from previous RNSNZ catalogue projects in that it is being released electronically in the first instance, and in sections. In this way, parts of the book can be published as they become ready and can also be regularly updated as new information becomes available.

The various sections of the catalogue will ultimately cover the whole of NZ's medallic history from the earliest issues associated with this country through to the Centennial events of 1940. More recent issues, from 1940 (not Centennial-related) to date, are being covered by a companion series, "New Zealand Commemorative Medals since 1940, New Series (2022)", also being published in parts and in electronic form.

Because these publications are being released as searchable PDFs, the previous Index of Legends has now been dispensed with as unnecessary.
