New Zealand Dictionary Centre

The New Zealand Dictionary Centre was established as a jointly-funded partnership in July 1997 by Victoria University of Wellington and Oxford University Press with the purposes of maintaining and developing a database of New Zealand English vocabulary, conducting research on various aspects of language in New Zealand and compiling and publishing dictionaries and related educational materials.

The Centre aims to provide a focal point nationally and internationally for New Zealand lexicography. For over 60 years, Victoria University of Wellington has been the major centre for lexicography in New Zealand.
