Planned changes to collection access
Our collections will be relocated while the Library building in Wellington is being redeveloped. During the relocation period, some collections will be available in two temporary locations: Archives New Zealand and a location on Thorndon Quay.
Relocation period availability:
- Most of the copies of images available in this collection will remain available at Thorndon Quay.
- Most original items will be unavailable through the redevelopment period.
- The White's Aviation, Evening Post, Ans Westra, War History and War Effort print files will be available at Archives New Zealand.
- Digitised images will continue to be available, and can be ordered.
We expect to finalise the dates of the relocation later in 2009. We will give you at least one month’s notice of collection access changes and closures.
