Tātai Whakapapa is a digital hub created to support whānau, hapū, iwi and researchers to explore whakapapa through accessible resources, learning tools and community connection.
Developed by Auckland Libraries, the hub brings together videos, guides, workbooks, events and support services in one central place. It is designed to help people begin, continue or deepen their whakapapa journey with confidence.Our kaupapa is to make trusted knowledge easier to find, easier to understand and easier to share.
Whether you are starting with a single name, reconnecting with whānau stories, or building a deeper understanding of your ancestral lines, Tātai Whakapapa offers a place to learn, reflect and connect.Whakapapa is more than family history. It is identity, belonging, memory and responsibility. Through this hub, we aim to support the careful sharing of knowledge in ways that honour whānau, respect tikanga and strengthen connections across generations.
He hononga tāngata, he hononga kōrero, he hononga whakapapa.
Connecting people, stories and whakapapa.
