Sound Archives Ngā Taonga Kōrero has had a long association with the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, having supplied many audio cuts for the online Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, and award winning  NZHistory.net.nz

Sound Archives Ngā Taonga Kōrero has also been awarded Major Supporter status for online encyclopedia Te Ara.

"The Sound Archives Ngā Taonga Kōrero has been magnificent in its support of Te Ara, so we would like to include it in the list of 'Major Supporters'... The material from Sound Archives/Nga Taonga Korero has made a huge difference to the appeal and interest of the encyclopedia. We are very grateful for your support...."

Jock Phillips, General Editor, Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand.

For Te Ara, we have supplied many audio clips to enhance the written and visual content. The audio supplied ranges from historic Winston McCarthy rugby commentary, to haka, to Polynesian festivals, to poets and writers such as Hone Tuwhare, musicians like Gareth Farr and significant moments in New Zealand's history such as Michael Savage’s victory speech from 1935. These clips demonstrate the diversity of our collections, and the diversity of New Zealanders, their experiences, and stories of life.
