KRISTIN ARCHIVES – HERITAGE

From the Archives

In preparation for Kristin’s 50th celebrations in March next year, we have been organising and digitising historic material from the archives. This includes items like publications, formal class and staff photographs, objects, film, and many informal photographs, like these gems pictured here from the earliest years of the school.

Leading up to the 50th we will be busy implementing a digital platform where we can share special material like this with the wider Kristin community. This is a very exciting project for the Archive. Traditionally ‘gatekeepers’ of information, initiatives like this allow us to open the gates and let people in, to explore the collection at their leisure, share, and comment on items. Together we will preserve and celebrate the unique history and story of this special place.

Keep an eye out for more news in this space as the year progresses, and in the meantime, feel free to get in touch with any questions or donations at rbell@kristin.school.nz or +64 9 415 9566 extn 2452. We always love to hear from you!
