The Cook Islands Voyaging Society as well as Tauranga Vananga were gifted a Rokirokitia Digitising Kit by Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision, the New Zealand’s audiovisual archive. The digitising kits are designed to digitise old tapes, film, photos and audio recordings so that generations can relive recorded cultural and historical moments.
