Abel Tasman National Park Oral Histories

Description

DescriptionThe Abel Tasman National Park is one of New Zealand’s most loved and well-known national parks. A wide range of people have an interest in the Park – iwi, the Department of Conservation, tourism business operators, bach owners, environmental groups, domestic and international tourists and others. This collection of oral histories represents a cross section of knowledge relating to Abel Tasman National Park by people with a close association with the area. It is not intended as a comprehensive history or guide to the Park, rather it provides a glimpse into a small sample of the wide range of relationships, experiences and histories contained in the geographical area known as the Abel Tasman National Park. As funding allows, it is hoped that we will be able to continue adding to this collection over time.

The interviews were all conducted by Pania Walton in 2022 for Tasman District Libraries with NZLPP Covid recovery funding. The views expressed by the interviewees are theirs alone and do not represent the views or experiences of anyone else.
