Tours of Archives New Zealand

Archives New Zealand provides tours and talks for educational, professional and community groups who would like to find out what we do and about the kinds of records we hold.

We also welcome groups and individuals for self-guided visits in our Wellington office.

Wellington Office Tours

Our Wellington office can offer two guided tours a week for groups of up to 20 people. The guided tours are run for year 13 students and adults. Tours can be tailored to suit your particular interest, but we do ask that you provide at least three weeks’ notice, and alternative dates, as bookings can be heavy.

Tours are free of charge and take about half an hour to one hour.

The guided tour provides:

Self-guided visits

You may visit Archives New Zealand’s Wellington office for a self-guided visit during normal opening times. Self-guided visits are ideal for school groups below Year 13, which are accompanied by their teacher. Information brochures and education resources are available for the Constitution Room.
