O’Reillys to New Zealand

A short video, on the Coming of the O’Reillys to New Zealand, was taken at Waikato University in 2010 when the presenter, Kingsley Field, was asked to speak at a public history symposium organised by the university’s History Department, and which was attended by both university personnel and members of the public from throughout the country. Mr Field, a journalist and author of more than 45 years’ experience, speaks on the value of recording the ordinary day-to-day detail of family histories.
