You will probably be surprised at how many organisations hold historical information and heritage items about your own club, organisation or business. In anticipation of your notable jubilee in the next few years, discover what you can do with your own historical records, alongside tips on how to include meaningful history in your own upcoming jubilee events and projects. Connect with other organisations celebrating next year in a workshop where heritage staff will give advice on working with heritage materials, Manawatū Heritage, the Ian Matheson City Archive, and more.
This workshop is followed by a celebratory event involving cake - consider attending both events.
Please register by 5pm Wed 16 Sep for catering and planning purposes.
