One of our most famous institutions, Plunket, turned 110 years old this week. "The Society for the Promotion of the Health of Women and Children" was founded at a public meeting in Dunedin in May 1907 by Dr Truby King. It was re-named The Plunket Society after one of its early supporters, Lady Plunket, the wife of the governor-general at the time.
Sarah Johnston from Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision has been listening to some sound recordings from the archives about the Plunket Society and has chosen a couple to share with us.
