Rays of Sound
Haere mai, afio mai, welcome to our digital audio bookshelf - bringing you rays of sound from across the Pacific and beyond. Choose a language from the menu at the top and start listening! Origins This website was created by Victoria University of Wellington's Language Learning Centre in late 2015. It was born out of a determination to save some valuable stories and songs trapped on aging cassette tapes in our library and make them more accessible for everyone to enjoy. It has since grown to incorporate other sources and other voices - including the Hutt Valley Cook Islands community. Read more about the history of this initiative here.
