Support Our Project
The Preserving Local History and Educational Trust aims to digitise the missing portions of Aotearoa’s cultural heritage. Capturing the newspapers and stories that have not been preserved due to gaps in public collections or the collecting policies of local or national archives. As a charitable trust, we require your support to continue to fulfil this important mahi.
We are grateful to all our donors for their generosity – it makes a real difference to the scope of our project.
Our projects require financial support to be fulfilled. Our ‘ask’ of you, is to consider making a donation in support of the project, at a level that suits your capacity to give. Every contribution counts.
A koha, a donation, or a bequest for all time. Or, a contribution of your time or expertise. To make a donation, you can make a deposit into the Trust’s bank account or via our Givealittle Fundraising Page.
As a charitable trust any donations received toward the project will receive a tax rebate. On receiving your donation we will provide you with a donation receipt.

How you can help
“We want to ensure that every school and community has access to its local history as well as the national perspective. Accessing newspapers in their physical form (or on microfilm) limits access. Digitisation is more equitable, and can deliver the stories, adverts, photographs and editorials that make up a newspaper to everyone anywhere where there is internet access. Schools and public library networks provide free internet to those who do not have internet at home”
Andy Fenton, Chairperson, The Preserving Local History and Educational Trust.
