This collection of writings stands as an important reflection on the ways in which New Zealanders remember their past - be it through a poem, a waiata, a family photograph, a painting, a half-recalled history lesson, a parade, or a name on a plaque in a small town. These original, insightful essays by a raft of historians, writers, and other prominent figures reflect on various forms of remembering and remembering, what we have cherished and valued, forgotten and ignored, constructed and reframed.
