Heritage et AL

Auckland Libraries is proud to share our new heritage discovery tool:  Kura Heritage Collections Online . Kura is the new home for our images, audio, collection records and indexes, providing free and easy access to our world-renowned heritage collections. Right now Kura contains over 650,000 records, and will grow over the next year as more records and digitised collections are migrated to the new platform.
