Te Tai o Poutini
West Coasters sharing our stories
and memories
This Kete has been created to capture and preserve the historical and current memories,
stories and activities of the West Coast people.
Groups and individuals are invited to add their stories, documents, digital images, videos and audios to this kete. Help us create a vibrant and interesting site that truly captures the spirit of our place - Te Tai Poutini: the West Coast of the South Island.
To start you need to create an account. You may like to look at the about basket [kete] or around the help section.
If you need help the staff at the public libraries in Hokitika, Greymouth and Westport will be pleased to assist. Also, for your use, these libraries have computers, scanners (to copy those old documents and photos), and access to other recording devices for projects.
If you would like to attend a training workshop in using or developing the site please register your interest with
The West Coast Kete is provided for you by the Aotearoa People's Network through the National Library, the Westland, Grey and Buller Libraries, and various indiviuals and community organisations.
This site will develop and grow with the efforts of those on and off the coast who have archives, ideas and stories to share.

said Great history
The last update was from quite a long time already. But the memories shared here were awesome. It inspired readers and helped people like me. But I am still glad that all of these are still here after all.
