“The dawn chorus of the birds signals a new day”

This page is where the Tauranga Libraries’ Heritage and Research Team showcase some of our favourite items from “Pae Korokī, Tauranga Archives Online”. Pae Korokī was launched in December 2020, one year after the name was gifted to us by Huikakahu Kawe (Ngai Te Ahi, Ngāti Maniapoto). We have a growing collection of photographs, video footage, stories, books, artworks and more that make up a seedbed for historians and others to tell the many stories of Tauranga Moana.
