Welcome to Clutha Heritage

Welcome to the digital hub of heritage for the Clutha District. Here we tell stories of our past and present. The creation of content on this site is a collaboration between the Clutha District Libraries and the communities, groups, clubs, societies, schools, and individuals who make up our District. Together we can grow this collection to connect our shared heritage. We encourage you to explore, to comment, and to share your stories. On this site you will also find links to other digital resources on our heritage held by libraries, museums, and community groups in the Clutha District.
