Kete Central Hawke's Bay Update

 

Kete CHB is proudly brought to you by the Aotearoa Peoples Network Kaharoa and Central Hawke's Bay District Libraries

 

18/08/2010

 

• We have been very lucky to have Hastings Library scan some old editions of The Waipawa Mail for us and these will be going up onto our Kete site over the next few weeks. 
• Other topics heading Kete's way include the next instalment of a trip over the Napier-Taupo Road by Coach and the ongoing history of one of CHB's early families (courtesy of Carol Lambert of Otane).

 

 

• In the CHB Mail, Tuesday March 30, Kete CHB showcased a photo thought to be taken at Ashcott Station circa 1842. In a great example of how Kete CHB works, Mr Harding contacted the Kete Administrator to let them know that the photo was actually taken at Mt Vernon Station and was of Waldron Harding on Maringo jumping a 7 wire fence. Date at this stage unknown. However Mr Harding did say that Waldron's sister then did the same jump side saddle!

What is Kete CHB? It is a digital repository for preserving old photos, documents and stories. Anyone can add content to the site. It is a great way to preserve your family histories, get information about CHB's past and share great stories about our district.

On it you can add photos, audio, video, web links and documents about Central Hawke's Bay and set up topics to discuss them as has happened here, or add stories about them. You can contact the CHB Kete Administrator Ngai Deckard by email or on 8589154 or by calling in to Waipukurau or Waipawa Libraries anytime.

Here is the photo below:

 

And here is another photo from the CHB Kete:

 

If you have any information on these photos you can login to the CHB Kete and add it. Alternatively you can contact Ngai at CHB Libraries on 8578123 or email.
