Jean Batten Scrapbook Material
Thanks to a grant from Te Papa National Services Te Paerangi, MOTAT is proud to be able to make available to researchers a large scrapbook of material about Jean Batten, in a digital format. Previously, because the scrapbook was too fragile to be handled the information was not readily available to the public. Now researchers of any age can contact us and use this resource.
