The Web Archive forms part of the Alexander Turnbull Library collections.
The Library began selecting websites in 1999 and the collection has continued to grow with active development since 2005, reflecting New Zealand’s growing online cultural and historical presence. The selected websites in the collection cover a diverse range of subjects including significant events, and is strong in the following areas:
- government
- politics, including blogs, and general and local body elections
- community and ethnic groups
- music, including labels, organisations, artists and directories
- sport
- the arts.
The collection also provides a visual history of how websites change over time and most of the websites in the Archive are collected at regular intervals to ensure new content is captured. This content includes web pages, images, multi-media, and publications, such as journals, that are made publicly available.
