P.A.C.I.F.I.C.A is delighted to announce that our Heritage Project is underway! Listed below are the details explaining the project and how we plan to roll the project out.
WHAT - A DVD compilation of the stories and accounts of our organisation’s living legends.
WHO - Oral interviews will be conducted with ‘foundation’ members who are still associated with the organisation, including previous/current National Presidents.
HOW - We are fortunate to have the skills and experience of Sandra Kailahi to produce the DVD. Executive have an earmarked budget to commence this process. Interviews will be undertaken regionally commencing with northern, central, then southern. Other sources of archival footage may also be included in the final DVD compilation.
WHY - For many years, members have emphasised the importance of recording our oral history through the stories of our ‘mamas’ while we still can. Executive agree there is an urgency to
ensure P.A.C.I.F.I.C.A documents its story thus providing a valuable resource for itself and the wider community in Aotearoa.
CONTACT - Communicate through your regional Vice-Presidents who will be responsible for co-ordination and liaison of this project with branches in their respective regions.
TIMEFRAME – By National Conference 2012 (actual timeframe to be confirmed!!)
Northern Interviews (Oct/Nov ‘11)
Central Interviews (Nov/Dec ‘11)
Southern Interviews (Jan ’12)
WHAT BRANCHES NEED TO DO
Step 1: Provide Nominations for Living Legends as soon as possible (7 Oct ’11)
Step 2: Provide archival material eg: photographs, branch memorabilia, books, video footage, poems, musical compositions etc (30 Nov ’11)
Step 3: Support your vice-president to organise the interviews for your region (tbc)
Step 4: Host Sandra Kailahi as she works in your region: accommodation, catering, transportation … (tbc)
The success of our national HERITAGE PROJECT relies on our ability to work collectively within the set timeframes, thus ensuring cost and time efficiency. We all look forward to the completed outcome being something we will cherish and be proud of!
