Our NZMS team in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington recently had the privilege of digitising 9 illustrated diaries for the family of artist Brian Pleasants.
These diaries paint a vivid picture of the adventures Brian and his wife, Antionette, embarked on together. Beautifully illustrated, they are filled with fascinating tales and experiences from across the globe. We recently spoke with Brian’s son, Simon, about his father’s diaries and the significance of their digitisation.
