E te rangatira Seddon
All of us at the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa were greatly saddened to learn of the death of Seddon Bennington, Te Papa Tongarewa Chief Executive, and his companion Marcella Jackson.
Seddon was a wonderful and well-respected friend and colleague who worked closely with us over the past years and supported us on a number of initiatives such as Digital New Zealand and Matapihi. He will be deeply missed.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and all the staff at Te Papa.
Kua hinga to tōtara o te wao nui a Tāne.
A tōtara in the great forest of Tāne has fallen.
