# The rebuild’s receipts

138,797 geolocated photographs the earthquake rebuild filed as it worked, the Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team’s record of the pipes, drains and roads it put back, 2000–2017. Every frame carries the ground it was taken on; a handful of the oldest image links have rotted, the filing stands anyway.
