Christchurch streets and places

The Christchurch streets and places resource aims to give the origins of some local street names. This information is available in searchable documents, or through the interactive Christchurch streets map.

Researched by Christchurch City Libraries, the streets information has come from published works, manuscripts, interviews, as well as Christchurch City Council archives.

 

Christchurch Star Archive

The Christchurch Star archive is an extensive collection of photographic prints, negatives and newspaper clippings mostly covering local stories including those on community events, local people, places and sporting events from the 1960s to the 1990s.
