Started with the gathering personal papers and records, under the bed, bedroom drawers, garage.

Elders come together for the mapping exercise. Survey and labeling. People involved enjoy the community coming together to do this work.

4 years just to map place names of southern alps area. Whole of south island is the goal. Elder advised that it's okay, we will do it bit by bit. No rush.

Not just mapping, visit the areas as well.

Case study: survey maps collaboration.

2nd Image: Left - Record in Archives New Zealand Collections Online. Fulfills gov recordkeeping purposes. Right - Kareao record of same place. Much richer metadata.

Hope to have a link in Collections that brings users to Kareao.
