Collecting early maps of New Zealand is going to be quite a challenge. Your earliest examples you will maybe find for your collection are from from the latter half of the 17th century when th country will be just shown as a small single piece of coastline with a few names. A good reference on the internest is the Cartographic Collection on The National Library of New Zealand website
