Launch Party for Radical Archive


Radical Aotearoa Digital Archive (or RADAR), a recently announced project to preserve the publications of radical New Zealand, has had a launch date set for the 1st of February.

“The website will go up on the first, with a launch party in Dunedin the day after,” says project coordinator Tyler West.

“We’ll be taking the opportunity of the launch party to double it over as an exhibition of some of the material being preserved by this project.”

The launch party is being held in Dunedin at Pioneer Women’s Memorial Hall, 362 Moray Place, at 7PM on Saturday February 2nd. Some speeches will be given at 7:30PM by members and supporters of the project.

Throughout the night some of the material being preserved in the archive will be exhibited for guests to browse, to ground the evening in the physical history of the project.

Food and drink are being provided for the evening, with donations encouraged to raise funds for the project.

“Money raised on the night will go towards better software for the digitisation process, to improve the quality of items which presently can’t be uploaded to the archive.”

“All who find interest in this project are invited to come along and learn some more about it,” West concludes.
