Napredak (Progress) was published in Auckland, New Zealand from December 1, 1906. It was published bi-monthly at the beginning, and weekly from vol. 2, no. 12(July 12, 1907). Matthew Ferri was editor-in-chief, and he was also the editor of the first Croatian newspaper in New Zealand (Bratska sloga (Brotherly Unity), 1899). The newspaper was published in Croatian, as the majority of Croats in New Zealand at that time did not understand English. The last issue was published in 1909.
94 issues of Napredak were digitized in May 2022 in collaboration with the Auckland Council Libraries. All the issues are available in virtual collection of the Croatian Emigrant Press Repository and at Auckland Council Libraries: Kura: Heritage Collections Online. Here are examples of four issues:
1st Decembre 1906. – No. 1, vol. 1
30th October 1907 – No. 31, vol. 2
5th February 1908 – No. 6, vol. 3
26th June 1909 – No. 24, vol. 4
A virtual exhibition shows selected texts on the timeline. The texts, or parts of the texts, are from each issue of Napredak published in 1906 and 1907. The texts are an illustration of social situations of the time but also of information needs of readers at the time. The texts are also interesting for its archaic language.
