Directory of community archives
The community archives directory is a tool to help researchers explore the treasures of our past and present held within local community collections across New Zealand. It includes small local organisations, through to larger national institutions.
Use this directory to find websites and contact information for organisations and institutions across New Zealand who hold archival information about local communities.
These include organisations such as: schools, local councils, religious institutions and historical societies.
You can either find community archives by location using the map feature or use the search bar in the table below.
If you want your collection included in the directory or your organisation’s listing needs updating, please get in touch with us by emailing the team at archives.online@dia.govt.nz
Find out more about the resources and assistance available to community-based archivists on our resources page.
