We have been working on combining our disparate archives for things such as New Zealand Representation, Open National Events, Champion of Champions National events and historic events into one easy to follow digital home for everything.

It has captured 1761 athletes, with the earliest record dating back to 1887.

You can access it using the link below:

https://history.bowlsnewzealand.co.nz/

We are now looking for your help in ensuring that we’ve got the results correct.

The website itself has a ‘report an issue’ button for each player, which can be used to let us know what needs to be changed.

Alternatively, we welcome emails to info@bowlsnewzealand.co.nz

Common challenges in producing this combined archive have largely included issues such as having two players instead of one due to a name change, or because there was incorrectly spelled name in the original archives.

We are also aware that some of the early international wins are missing, which we are undertaking to update.

We are dedicated to celebrating the long and fascinating history of our sport, and thank you in advance for your assistance in getting this right.

Happy reading!
