The Māori Reference Collection contains te reo Māori and bilingual publications, including a range of current Māori magazines.

It covers all subjects, with strengths in:

  • arts
  • Māori culture
  • iwi resources
  • religion
  • philosophy
  • social, economic and political aspects of Māori life.

Planned changes to collection access

The National Library's building redevelopment means access to some collections will change over the coming relocation period.

This collection will remain fully available through the redevelopment period, through a location on Thorndon Quay.

We expect to finalise the dates of the relocation later in 2009. We will give you at least one month's notice of the change in location.

For more information email atl@natlib.govt.nz
