The New Zealand Oral History Awards provide financial help for the recording of interviews relating to the history of New Zealand/Aotearoa and its close connections with the Pacific.
Projects submitted for consideration should contribute significantly to our understanding of New Zealand’s past and its people.
The closing date for applications this year is Thursday 31 May 2012. This is later than usual because the Ministry moved to new premises during April. Our physical address has changed but all other contact details remain the same. We apologise for any inconvenience.
