Oral History

Southland's stories define who we are as a province and as a people. In many cases they are stored as living memories and die with their owners.

The Invercargill Public Library and the Southland Rural Heritage Trust and volunteers have worked together to create a digital record of Southland.



These are some of the people whose stories have been recorded.
