This Family History Month, join Andy Fenton from Your Stories for a special presentation facilitated by Tricia Meehan.

Andy will share how the Trust is digitising Aotearoa’s historical community newspapers, making them discoverable and accessible for generations to come. Hear about the progress made so far, how the project differs from Papers Past, and how you can help preserve our rich newspaper heritage.

“With so many important community newspapers having been published in our region and throughout the country, it’s a wonderful opportunity to get together and share ideas and knowledge. Newspapers hold such a wealth of incredible history that we need to ensure is preserved for future generations.”
