• Go to ‘More search options’ (top right) to limit search to just Kai Tiaki, or just 1910-20, or just articles
• When searching Kai Tiaki, don’t limit to just articles – this usually gives no results.
• Useful search terms for Kai Tiaki and news articles in general: “Male nurses”, nurse AND hours (interesting stuff about 8 hour days and nurses).

NZResearch http://research.digitalnz.org/ has quite a few theses and journal articles that might be useful secondary sources.
