New Zealand company NZMS – who specialise in digitising and preserving ephemeral documents – has been digitising GNS’s paper magnetograms from the New Zealand Magnetic Observatory at Eyrewell. Magnetograms have been collected continuously for New Zealand since 1916, and the paper records continue to 1994 after which they became digital, meaning almost 80 years worth of data has to be digitised. This data will then be sent on to statisticians at the University of Otago Maths & Stats department to analyse, with the end goal of predicting future solar storms.
