The General Serials Collection holds a large number of current and non-current editions, including many overseas titles.

We add the second copy of legal deposit material to the General Serials Collection.

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
