In regard to my recent msg about a few of the older FiPios not being digitally available...actually, volumes 1-9 of the Fire Lands Pioneer "Old Series" are indeed available online (as actual page-images): I found volumes 1-9 at Darlington Digital Library (see below links directly to the the volumes and contents). Although they aren't available as complete "OCR'd" text files there, but it is easy to search the volume images there. Just type any keyword or phrase in the 'search box' at the below links, to see which pages contain your keywords, and then view the actual page there. Be sure to run your search at each of the three below links though.
(A few miscellaneous volumes, including later volumes of the "New Series", are available at Google books, etc., which can be fully downloaded as well as viewed in OCR-text format. But Darlington D.L. seems to be the site with "O.S." volumes which were not available elsewhere.)
Here are the 3 links to "Old Series" volumes 1 thru 9 (1858-1868). Enjoy!
