Welcome to Waimakariri Heritage, a place to conserve and curate community memories and taonga.

The vision is for our local community to share knowledge and to tell their stories about life in Waimakariri.

 

Waimakariri Libraries will continue to digitise archival assets for preservation and community access.

North Canterbury has a unique history and the site will enhance connections to our past, present and future.
