Your Earthquake Story

The City Libraries are hoping to collect lots of our stories about the Earthquake and this is a chance for all communities to their story.

Please submit your story using the form found on our website, 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.
