Summary

IntervieweeShirley ArabinShort BioShirley Arabin (née Rice)
Shirley Rice was born in 1935 and raised on a farm in Ōhura to the west of Taumarunui in the area known as the King Country. She was educated at New Plymouth Girls’ High School and later received a Bachelor of Social Sciences and BA from the University of Waikato. Her mother encouraged her interest in family history and her first published work appeared in 1989, Shirley married Barry Arabin who was descended from a distinguished and somewhat eccentric Huguenot/Irish family.

She worked for the Housing Corporation for many years and when she retired she pursued her lifelong interest in history by completing a BA at Tauranga University College at the University of Waikato. After that she was for some years more or less continuously employed on projects in the Bay of Plenty as an independent researcher and historian. Those who commissioned her knew that they could rely on her absolute thoroughness, accuracy, and integrity as a researcher.

Her main interests are Irish and New Zealand history, and family history, but she is also very skilled at researching the history of places and buildings.
