Bishopdale 2017

Photography students from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts are photographing the people and the physical environment of Bishopdale so we can build an archive of contemporary documentary images: The Christchurch Documentary Project.

If you or your group would like to be photographed for this project, please contact the library on 941 7923 or at library@ccc.govt.nz.

The Christchurch Documentary Project has looked at Halswell and the seaside suburbs of the East.
