Community Contributions Rules | Pae Korokī
Pae Korokī - Community Contribution Rules
Our Website, Pae Korokī: Tauranga Archives online, is a community space. It is a place where our community can discover new knowledge about Tauranga Moana’s rich heritage. It is a place for you to digitally explore, engage and interact with Tauranga City Libraries’ heritage collection at any time of the day.
We encourage you to contribute to this knowledge and our heritage collection by making Community Contributions. We want to hear your recollections about heritage items on our Website, and we would love for you to contribute new heritage items and your research. If you have suggested edits to the information (metadata) we have provided about a heritage item, we would also like you to tell us.
Like any community space, we have rules about behaviour that will be considered unacceptable when you make Community Contributions on our Website.
These rules apply to any Community Contribution that you make.
Community Contributions means any archives, stories, recollections, comments, files, data or other material posted on or uploaded to the Website by the public (including you).
We moderate Community Contributions before they are made publicly available on our Website. Community Contributions are subject to our Notice and Takedown Procedure.
A breach of these rules will be considered a breach of our Website Terms of Use. Refer to our Terms of Use for the potential consequences of this.
