Never-before seen film of the immediate aftermath of the 1931 Napier earthquake is now on show at the National Library  building in Wellington.  It is part of the first exhibition there by the national audio-visual archive, Nga Taonga Sound & Vision, which has just moved into its new headquarters in the Library building opposite Parliament.

Today we are going to hear about this amazing footage with Sarah Johnston from Ngā Taonga – and listen to some gems from the sound archives which are also featuring in the new exhibition.
