The New Zealand Serials Collection forms part of the Alexander Turnbull Library collections. It is kept for preservation and research purposes, while the General Serials Collection is held for current use.
Items in the New Zealand Serials Collection are available in a variety of formats, including paper, microfilm and digital.
The collection contains millions of editions from more than 40,000 magazine and periodical titles. We add about 25,000 items to the collection each year, through legal deposit, purchase and donation.
