We gratefully acknowledge the Cedars of Lebanon for their generous support, which has enabled this archive to flourish.

 

We acknowledge Kāi Tahu, particularly mana whenua from Ōtākou and Puketeraki marae, and honour their enduring relationship with the whenua, awa, and taiao of the Ōtepoti Dunedin rohe.
