Join Lynette Shum (Oral History Advisor, Alexander Turnbull Library) and historian Nigel Murphy to discover the rich history of Pōneke's Chinese community.Chinese Footprints, led by Lynette Shum (Oral History Advisor, Alexander Turnbull Library) and historian Nigel Murphy, will take attendees on a walking tour exploring the rich history of the Chinese in Wellington, much of which has been erased and now largely invisible to passers-by.
The tour will draw on images, ephemera, and oral history from the collections of the Alexander Turnbull Library.
The tour starts with a scene-setting presentation at Trades Hall and finishes at the same place with a pot of Chinese tea.
