Seriously, there's a whole big piece of the culture captured here. Very proud that I was a piece of the piece for a while. And I do love Papers Past.
This something I'm very proud to have done, in partnership with NatLib and @jingajik.bsky.social's team.

In 2019, we put the first 8 years of Rip It Up online, free, searchabe and downloadable. In 2024 we added 1986-98 paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/periodicals/...
