A Collection Management Strategy for Taonga and Archives Raiātea
View through CrossRef
This article highlights the aspirations of a small hapū, Ngāti Tamatea, to build a whare taonga, or house of prized items (museum), on their ancestral whenua (lands) in the Hokianga Harbour. This has prompted the hapū to review what the collection management practices will be and, in the endeavor to preserve taonga held by Ngāti Tamatea, whether those practices will reflect museum and archival standards. The hapū will enlist the help of the Gallery, Library, Archives and Museum (GLAM) sector as well as experts in preservation and conservation. The hope is that these practices will contribute to the overall tikanga (cultural practices) and hapū strategies for the museum, and enable hapū members to fully participate in kaitiakitanga (principles of guardianship).
