The bilingual signs were launched in December 2002 with a ceremony in the Ngā Pounamu Māori Centre and were complemented by training sessions and resources for librarians about the meanings and pronunciations of the new signs. Now those resources have been made available on our website.
Te Reo pages on our website
For Te wiki o te reo Māori 2001 we launched a set of te reo Māori pages on our website. As part of this development we have moved to using unicode to deliver correctly macronised text, both on the Te Reo pages, and in this year's edition of He Manawa o Te Reo.
Ngā Taonga Māori Collections
Christchurch City Libraries has developed Ngā Taonga Māori Collections throughout the 12 Community Libraries; each has a good selection of language tools in different formats to assist you to learn Te Reo Māori.
is the name of the Library's Māori Internet Gateway pages and offers many interesting links on Tikanga Māori.
Kohikohinga o Ngāi Tahu The Ngāi Tahu Collection, a new area in the New Zealand Collection
This collection has been established to improve access to Ngāi Tahu material and to further support our desire to build a relationship with Mana Whenua. The collection is situated in the New Zealand Collection on the 2nd floor of the Central Library. These resources are taonga and as such will be reference only.
In recognition of this area, Ngāi Tahu has gifted to us a collection of photographs taken at parliament during the passage of the Ngāi Tahu Claim Settlement Act. These photographs clearly show the emotion, shared by the Ngāi Tahu people for their momentous occasion and add an important human dimension to 'Kohikohinga o Ngāi Tahu '
Tī Kōuka Whenua: Ti kouka - a symbol of our city
Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region has a vibrant past of which few people are aware. There are only minimal visual reminders of any history prior to colonial settlement. However as Tī Kōuka Whenua will enable you to discover, we have a rich and intriguing past that extends back many hundreds of years before 1850.
Increasing awareness and knowledge of this past is the primary aim of this website. We hope that it will enrich your understanding of your surroundings and enhance your current perceptions of the city in which we live.
There are many sites of significance found throughout Ōtautahi (Christchurch City), Horomaka (Banks Peninsula) and the wider Canterbury region. This website will provide some insights into a selection of these places.
