Our workroom is very busy at the moment as we prepare a lovely big pile of new children’s posters for the library network, a great idea for a quick and easy way to decorate your child’s room
Five of our libraries have poster collections and they are: Upper Riccarton, New Brighton, Shirley, Fendalton and South.
We digitised a bunch of 1980s Christchurch rock posters from the libraries’ ephemera collection for New Zealand Music Month 2007.
They are uber-cool, and if you have a hankering for more rock posters, Digital NZ has a splendid collection of posters from the Alexander Turnbull Library.
And you can:
In July, August and September 1981 New Zealand experienced civil disturbance as the South African rugby team toured the country.
We have added some 1981 Springbok Tour posters to our Posters collection online. See Springbok tour links for more information on the Tour.
The poster collection also includes a suite of 1980s Christchurch rock posters.
