Farrago

Farrago, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary, means mixture; a suitable name then, for the miscellaneous documents from the Christchurch Regional Office displayed in this exhibition.

This exhibition will be a continuing and expanding one, as we find and digitise items from the Christchurch Regional Office's holdings that have unusual or interesting content or characteristics. There is no over-arching theme to the items digitised and placed on display here; rather, they have caught the eye in some way or other; either as interesting items in their own right, or because of their aesthetic quality, or most likely, because of the stories they tell.
