July 2024

 

Welcome to our new Heritage newsletter.

We'll be letting you know about interesting library events and resources related to local history, whakapapa/family history and heritage of all kinds.

 

What's new - Canterbury Stories

A newly published collection is up on Canterbury Stories – the Ernie Ellis collection which has some great colour images. If you were involved in a marching team, you may enjoy having a look thought the range of photos from various marching competitions in the 1950s. We would love to hear any information and/or names you can help us with, through our online form – contact us.

Christchurch Streets and Places

We have had lots of feedback on our Christchurch streets and places map and this is being updated soon with some of the new streets that have been created since 2016. We are also working on answering your feedback and suggestions – sometimes this requires a bit of research to work through so can take a bit of time, but we really appreciate the information so please feel free to keep contributing through the feedback link on the map.
