Our Story

A History Of Aotearoa New Zealand is a small, family business from Titirangi in Tāmaki Makaurau. The map was created as a one-off gift by Mark and Matt, a father-son duo, for their son/brother who is a Social Studies and History teacher.

Our goal with the map is to bring history into every home in Aotearoa New Zealand. Mark studied history at university, and whether it was during dinner or on the morning school run, history was talked about regularly in our home. There was always an acknowledgement of the past and its importance. We hope our map will provide the basis for similar discussions, both in the classroom but also in the home.
