You could try the following NZ Government site:
Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand
www.teara.govt.nz

The above site also has information about the assisted immigration of Scandinavians to New Zealand in the 1870s:

If you would like to get information from a settlers perspective a good source of information would be from the book "johannas World" written by O.M andresen. For a Norwegian translation of it you will find it under the title "Uredd ferd mot ukjent land" it was written about my family and if you you need any more information on anything about new zealand i would only be to happy to help.
