New Zealand's best‐known record of surface air temperature is the partially homogenised seven‐station series of the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. The homogeneity analysis used in constructing this series depends on the completeness of the site histories and issues arise if relevant information is missing. Recent developments in the online availability of searchable historical records provide an opportunity to supplement early metadata. This potential is explored here using Albert Park (Auckland) as a case study. A wealth of relevant historical information about Albert Park was found in online archives, especially related to a major episode of site disturbance, evolving site environment and instrumentation changes.

利用历史资料来补充气候站点的历史：以奥克兰艾伯特公园为例

新西兰最著名的地表空气温度记录是美国国家水与大气研究所的部分同质七站系列。用于构建该系列的同质性分析取决于站点历史的完整性，如果缺少相关信息，则会出现问题。可搜索历史记录的在线可用性的最新发展为补充早期元数据提供了机会。此处以阿尔伯特公园（奥克兰）为例研究这种潜力。在在线档案中发现了大量有关阿尔伯特公园的相关历史信息，特别是与现场干扰，现场环境不断变化和仪器变化的重大事件有关。
