Discover your family’s history at our librariesChristchurch Writers’ Trail
Edited by Gordon Ogilvie.
The Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors laid 32 writers’ plaques in various parts of Christchurch. This booklet features brief writers’ biographies and photographs, and includes a map to help you find the plaques commemorating each writer.
All of the writers featured have a close connection with Christchurch. The booklet and plaques honour the literary talent of our town and province.
