We all have earthquake stories to tell — and we’d like to hear yours.

Please submit your story using the form below, and let us know if you have any images or video that you are willing to share or add your material to the Canterbury Earthquake Kete. Alternatively you can email us directly or simply pop into any of our libraries and speak to a librarian.

All stories will be cared for. Donations assessed as having heritage value will become part of the library’s permanent collections or archives. Read our donation policy.
