Education Resources
The DVD is a comprehensive resource for students in the visual
arts in years 9–13, particularly senior students studying

areas, such as social studies, history, and English.
The Digital Handboek complements a touring retrospective exhibition
and major publication entitled HANDBOEK: ANS WESTRA PHOTOGRAPHS,
which contains photographs and essays by major writers on Ans Westra’s
work and documentary photography in New Zealand.
The DVD also features a comprehensive documentary on eight major
New Zealand photographers, including Ans Westra.
