Ta Moko

A new collection of historical texts on Ta Moko as the result of a project which tries to take into account sensitivities around the digitisation of mātauranga Māori and textual taonga.

The project was centred on the digitisation of an annotated copy of the 1986 publication "Moko; or Māori Tattooing" by Horatio Gordon Robley. An additional six texts have also been digitised to provide contextual information about TA Moko, mokamokai, Robley himself and his art.
