The Hauraki Tribal Lands Supporting Papers, Parts 1 to 28 are over 14,000 pages of documentation relevant to The Hauraki Treaty Claims, and in particular the work of David Alexander who has researched the history of approximately 700 blocks of Maori land. These were the original Maori land blocks that were alienated mainly to the Crown and in most cases were subsequently sub-divided many times to form the present day pattern of land ownership in Hauraki.
Each document has been given its own unique identifier and has been categorised according to document type and the block of land or subject it relates to.
There are 23 different types of documents which have been labelled Section A through to Section W .These comprise deeds, files, Maori Land Court Minute Book records, survey plans, Certificates of Title, Land Registry Documents, Turton's Publications, Appendices to the Journals of the House of Representatives, Parliamentary Debates and Gazette Notices.
