In the aftermath of the devastating 2010 and 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch, this 2013 collection was collated by Community Research, Healthy Christchurch, He Oranga Pounamu, and the Christchurch Council of Social Services to document the extraordinary experiences and resilience of communities in Canterbury.
At every step along the way, people in communities and tangata whenua, community and voluntary organisations have been documenting and reflecting on their experiences. The resulting research includes everything from narratives capturing the personal aftermath, through to scholarly analysis.
This collection will be valuable to national organisations as they continue to deliver services and support staff, and also be of use as people consider their own natural disaster preparedness.

The collection focusses on research undertaken by, for and with communities, in ways that are consistent with Community Research’s Code of Practice.
Topics can include anything that touches on the response of communities and community organisations.
Outside scope are items that are unduly:

  • Technical or focus primarily physical aspects of the natural disaster
  • Partisan, party political.


The contents of the “Learning from Christchurch” special collection is anything that people believe relevant to communities and the organisations that support them.
