For many years now email has been one of the main tools that politicians have used to spread their message, particularly with their members and supporters. Because emails go direct to inboxes they are often hidden from the historical record.
That's why I'm pretty excited to launch The Progress Report's NZ Political Email Archive. It contains NZ political emails going back as far as 2008. You can find it from the "Other" menu at the top.
It is a searchable, filterable archive of political emails sent by New Zealand political parties. New emails are automatically added as they arrive, and I'm gradually working to expand the historical archive.
If you have a collection of older political emails you'd be willing to share, I'd love to hear from you — please get in touch at [email protected].
