Christchurch, back when.

The city before it grew up, photographs from the archive’s licensed collections, 1851 onwards. Mostly Canterbury Stories at Christchurch City Libraries, some further afield; every copy sits on this site under the record’s own stated rights, and every picture links back to its source record so the caption can be checked. The pick of them hangs as an exhibition at the beautiful city; the newest report photographs, what the city looks like today, live on the wall.
