published on 2023-11-23T00:07:00Z

Welcome to Ngako: The Collections Podcast, where we explore items and stories from Auckland Libraries Heritage Collections. Join us as we wander with the Auckland Tramping Club through their magazine of yesteryear and hit on the Victorian craze for fern collecting in an episode of Fernmania. We drink the knowledge and get a taste of the world of Kava, Ava, and Kawa, and we examine a special 1849 poster printed in Rarotonga. We review mid-20th-century sports writing to examine the gendered portrayal of sporting codes, and we immerse ourselves in the sounds of colonial New Zealand through its musical albums and manuscripts. We also discover the special connection between Auckland Council Libraries and local poetry, and we experience 400 years of the Beauty and the Beast fairytale through publications. There is something for everyone in this series Ngako: The Collections Podcast. This podcast is part of a wider series of short films Ngako: The Collections Talk, available to view via aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/Ngako This series is written and produced by Sue Berman, was recorded and produced by Benjamin Brooking and edited and engineered by Juliana Machado.
