Case study He Tohu, a new permanent exhibition The launch of our new permanent exhibition, He Tohu, will see three of New Zealand’s most important founding constitutional documents (the Treaty of Waitangi, 1835 Declaration of Independence and the 1893 Women’s Suffrage Petition) showcased through physical and digital platforms. The vision for the exhibition is “talking about our past to create a better future” and He Tohu, for this exhibition simply means the signs, in reference to the unique signatures on these taonga. The new exhibition has three objectives: Preserving our fragile and priceless documentary heritage for future generations; Improving access for all New Zealanders and visitors to our country; and Enhancing learning opportunities for young New Zealanders. This is just one example of an opportunity to showcase Archives’ holdings, increase access to these important founding documents while continuing our role as kaitiaki of these precious taonga.
