David Verran
Auckland
I volunteer at Devonport and Birkenhead Museums, as well as Auckland Council Archives, and am on the committee at Devonport Museum and North Shore Historical Society. I was formerly a librarian from 1975 to 2017 and graduated with MA Hons in history from the University of Auckland in 1974.
I also write a monthly local history column for ‘Channel’ magazine on the North Shore.
In 2010 Random House published my ‘The North Shore; an illustrated history’ and I have written a number of article and book reviews. References to the articles are available from Index New Zealand – https://natlib.govt.nz/collections/a-z/index-new-zealand-innz
