PrideNZ.com is a community website founded by Gareth Watkins in 2009. It documents, publishes and archives accounts of Takatāpui LGBTI Rainbow experiences, in the format of audio recordings, Rainbow maps, and other research publications[1]. No other website has collected so many digital archives of accounts from New Zealand Aotearoa.
Context
Throughout the 1990's, early internet access in Aotearoa was sparce and rainbow representation online tended to be international. In 1996, Kevin Jensen created Spectrum website, a digital representation of the Nelson-based social and support network for the rainbow community.[2]Throughout the following deacdes more Aotearoa-based rainbow news sources and archival centres were founded, including GayNZ, which was founded in 2001.[3]
Pride NZ was founded in 2009 as a repository for oral histories built for the rainbow community by Wellington-based data manager Gareth Watkins[4]. After GayNZ ceased operations in 2017, PrideNZ captured a text-only copy of most articles from the website.[5]
