Prime Minister Helen Clark presents Queen Elizabeth II with the five volumes of the Dictionary of New Zealand biography (DNZB), the five volumes of Ngā tāngata taumata rau, (containing Māori-language biographies of māori people in the DNZB), and a CD marking the online publication of the dictionary's website. The presentation was New Zealand's official gift to the queen on the occasion of her golden jubilee in 2002. The DNZB was a major work of public history, which began in the Department of Internal Affairs under W. H. Oliver and was completed under the editorship of Claudia Orange in 2000. The five volumes included over 3,000 biographies of dead New Zealanders up to those who flourished in the 1960s. The project was notable for its strong representation of Māori and women, and also for including representative 'ordinary' New Zealanders, as well as those of undoubted significance.
