Taranaki media now available online

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 3 April 2023

Taranaki Media Archive is a new website showcasing historical footage and audio, preserving local Taranaki stories.

You can view film as early as 1911, watch the demolition of New Plymouth's iconic clock tower in the 1950's, or footage of the rugby game between Taranaki and Wellington in the 60's.

There's a lot to explore from decades of Taranaki History.

Taranaki local Hamish Guthrie did a crash course on making a website, then made it happen. He talks to Jesse.
