As part of the development of Te Pute Routiriata we are researching the collections of national institutions to locate and document records of significance to Taranaki Whanui, and particularly to identify examples of Taranaki Reo.

This kete holds images and links to some of the resources that have been identified so far. As more material is located, we will continue to add information.

Currently we have done extensive research in Archives NZ and the Film Archive and some research in National Library. We also intend target the key outstanding collections. 

 We have also identified a number of other institutions that may also hold records of significance, including (but not limited to):

  • Sound Archives, Auckland
  • TVNZ
  • Maori Television
  • TV3
  • Auckland Public Library
  • Hocken Library (mainly photocopies from the Maori manuscripts project – also held elsewhere)
  • MacMillan Brown Library (Canterbury University) (mainly photocopies from the Maori manuscripts project – also held elsewhere)
