Christchurch Documentary Project

The Christchurch Documentary Project was a collaboration between Christchurch City Libraries and the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts to create a documentary photographic record of communities across our city. Each year, photography students from the School of Fine Arts photographed the people and physical and social environment of a community, building an archive of contemporary images for generations to come.
