We want to collect and preserve your Canterbury earthquake stories and pictures.
And what happened next, and how some things have changed and some have remained the same.
Register on Kete, and add your stories, photos, memories of the earthquake and the aftermath.
If you have a lot of images we can bulk upload these for you if you want and then you can add your stories later. Contact us at ketechristchurch@ccc.govt.nz
Material in this basket will be collated into an archive of the Christchurch City Libraries documenting the experiences of our community, during the Earthquake and the rebuilding of our city.
Other ways to share your stories and images.
