The series offers local people a chance to gain insights and learn about some of the many fascinating events and people who have contributed to the character of their town, says co-organiser Dr Kirsty Carpenter, a senior lecturer in history in the School of Humanities, who lives in Wanganui. Organised by Massey University and the Alexander Heritage and Research Library, the six seminar local history series will be delivered by researchers from Massey University who have explored Wanganui’s history. Illuminating local stories of WWI, early rugby history, politics in the Depression era, and the lives of early missionaries are among topics in a public seminar series launching in Wanganui on May 3.
