Ngāti Awa Research & Archives

The year beginning July 1 2020 bought with it new challenges for the Information and Knowledge Department. The Research Library in Ngāti Awa Research and Archives had been experiencing increasing numbers of visitors both from inside and outside our rohe before the first lockdown. With the lockdown and subsequent COVID-19 restrictions, numbers did drop but a continuous flow of curious uri and students kept our Research Library warm and full of life, and communication and assistance also continued through email and phone calls via our Research Facilitator.

The online catalogue continues to go from strength to strength, with user hits since its inception in December 2019 topping 1.4 million. Our WAI46 Raupatu documents continue to be a great source of information for catalogue users and demonstrates the quality of research that was conducted for our WAI46 claim.
