Questions, memories, contributions and community enquiries
Introduction
This contact page is a simple way to reach the St Joseph’s Memory Archive project. You may wish to ask a question, contribute a photograph, share a memory, provide a correction, or connect with the wider work of preserving the history of St Joseph’s, Matakana Island.
You do not need perfect information. Even partial details can help. If you know who is in a photo, where it was taken, approximately when, or the story behind it, please include whatever you can remember.
What You Can Send
Photos & Documents
Old photos, church programmes, newspaper clippings, reports, notices, letters, or records.
Family & Cemetery Enquiries
Questions about whānau connections, headstones, resting places, or remembrance details.
Oral Histories
Memories, recordings, interviews, stories from kaumātua, or notes from family conversations.
How Contributions Will Be Handled
Submitted material may be reviewed, enhanced, organised, and prepared for publication only after details are checked and appropriate permission is confirmed.
Some material may be suitable for public display. Some may be better kept privately for whānau or archive purposes. Every contribution will be handled with care, respect, and patience.

Where copyright ownership remains with the contributor, family, photographer, publisher, or other rights holder, that ownership remains unchanged unless otherwise agreed.
If any person, whānau, organisation, or rights holder believes material has been published incorrectly, without permission, or requires amendment, removal, or clarification, please contact the site administrators and the matter will be reviewed respectfully.
The purpose of this archive is preservation, remembrance, education, and community continuity. Every effort will be made to respect contributors, whānau, cultural values, privacy considerations, and copyright interests.
Mana Pupuri, Whakaaetanga me te Whakamahi Tika
Me tuku mai anake ngā taonga e nōhia ana e te kaituku, kua whakaaetia rānei kia whakamahia, ā, e tika ana kia tiakina mō ngā kaupapa hītori, mātauranga, whānau, me te hapori.
Mēnā kei te kaituku, te whānau, te kaihopu whakaahua, te kaiwhakaputa, me tētahi atu tangata rānei ngā mana pupuri, ka noho tonu aua mana ki a rātou, mēnā kāore he whakaaetanga kē.
Mēnā e whakapono ana tētahi tangata, whānau, rōpū, kaipupuri mana rānei kua tukuna hē tētahi taonga, kāore rānei i whakaaetia, me whakapā mai ki ngā kaiwhakahaere o te pae kia āta arotakengia.
Ko te kaupapa matua o tēnei pūranga ko te tiaki, te maumahara, te mātauranga, me te whakapakari i te hononga o te hapori. Ka whakapau kaha mātou ki te whakaute i ngā kaituku, ngā whānau, ngā tikanga, te tūmataiti, me ngā mana pupuri.
