Check usage statements for collection items

Open up collections for sharing and reuse if possible. Digital content is made to be copied, distributed, and adapted. Having a basic understanding of your copyright obligations and how they might apply to your digitised collections will allow you to confidently share collections.

Digital content that depicts people, objects, and subjects can have significant cultural importance to Māori, Pacific, and other communities. It is important to seek further consultation and permission from the creator/s or originating iwi, hapū or whānau before copying and distributing this content, alongside the copyright status.

How to make a story

Share your DigitalNZ-hosted content through your own channels — social media, newsletters, or websites — to drive traffic and engagement.
