Paper Does Not Refuse Ink aims to archive local histories and the power of print. Exposing new knowledge through a critical approach to the history of print in New Zealand assessing methodologies around concept, materiality, dispersion and collection of print allows for informed decisions of how histories can be re-employed in a contemporary context. Although this archive has been created with a specific research objective in mind, it is not limiting of content and encourages parallel thought and discussion surrounding "Print".
