2008 talks

During Local History Week in April 2008 the Palmerston North City Library and Ian Matheson City Archives hosted a series of talks on the history of the local area and other topics.

These talks were recorded and are made available here for others to share in the events. So grab a drink, get comfortable and enjoy exploring some local Palmerston North history.
