A series of short films exploring stories from the Auckland Libraries heritage collections is screening as part of the Auckland Heritage Festival, which runs 1-16 October.
Erica O'Flaherty is Manager Heritage Collections and has been involved with putting together Ngako: The Collection Talks. She joins Bryan to discuss the project, and in particular the historically valuable J.T. Diamond collection.
Diamond was an amateur historian and archaeologist who, over 70 years, documented the industrial, archaeological, and social history of West Auckland.
