A programme of publication has been undertaken to give both detailed information on the history of individual sites and a summary of their significance and main features in small leaflets. Full-length bulletins have been published on Samuel Butler's homestead at Mesopotamia, Te Porere, Waimate North Vicarage, and the Paremata barracks. Both by its main work of preservation and by the stimulation of a widening public interest, the Trust looks for growing support in its task of making the monuments of our past a living reality to future generations.
