Work on Discover as a pilot project first began in 2000. The objective was to select and digitise items to support The Visual Arts and Music disciplines of the Arts curriculum. The National Library of New Zealand also plans to digitise resources for other curriculum areas and present them on Discover.

Discover was developed in conjunction with a wide range of educational contributors. These include primary and secondary classroom teachers, heads of departments, College of Education advisers, Ministry of Education curriculum facilitators and subject specialists. Their expertise in helping with this project is gratefully acknowledged.
