Take 16: Kohi-tātea 2007

Kia ora and welcome to the latest issue of the Living Heritage newsletter.

We are Brenda Crozier, Living Heritage project manager and Fia Sandstrom, project co-ordinator. We’re delighted to send out this issue of the newsletter to let you know about the new things happening on the Living Heritage website. The project has been granted a new round of Department of Internal Affairs funding through the 2020 Trust and CWA New Media and this has given it a well-needed boost. Other partners include the National Library of New Zealand, Te Taurawhiri, LIANZA, NZ Historic Places Trust, and UNESCO. Our founding sponsor Sun Microsystems still remains as a host to the site.

Could your project appear on Living Heritage?

We're always looking for exciting additions to the site, and it would be great to showcase your projects. Please get in contact if you have any ideas or queries – we'd love to hear from you!
