The Lakes
District Museum Archives and Research facility has an extensive collection
of both primary and secondary sources. Our Archivist is more than happy
to assist you and welcomes appointments or e-mail requests. Depending
on the depth of searching required, a fee may apply.
These are listed below. Independent researchers are welcome by appointment.
BIRTHS,
DEATHS AND MARRIAGES
We have
a small collection of birth notices for the Wakatipu district which mainly
belong to those higher on the socio-economic scale. For the areas of Arrowtown,
Lower Shotover and Gibbston we have a database of birth dates from school
registers. The collection also includes:
- Hard copies
of the Burial Registers for Queenstown, Arrowtown, Frankton, Kingston,
Skippers and Glenorchy
- Microfiche
copies of many of the smaller cemeteries around Otago.
- An extensive
collection of obituaries from local newspapers.
- Details
from most of the marriage registers have been entered into our database.
- The Catholic
Marriage Index for Otago and Southland 1855 - 1920 and the index to
Otago and part of Southland Presbyterian marriages held at Knox Church
are available on microfiche.
ORAL HISTORY
The Oral
Archive at the Lakes District Museum is recognised as one of the most
comprehensive in the country. Most recorded interviews have been abstracted
in a user-friendly format, making information about a particular subject
easy to locate. Our indexes relating to the Oral Archive include an index
of people interviewed as well as an index of people mentioned on the tapes.
NEWSPAPERS
The Archives
at the Lakes District Museum includes a fine collection of original newspapers
as well as newspapers on microfilm. Our earliest original newspapers date
from 1867. The current newspapers on microfilm consist of :
- 'Cromwell
Argus' 1876 - 1878
- 'Lake
County Press' 1887 - 1910
- 'Lake
Wakatip Mail' 1885 - 1939
PHOTOGRAPHS
 The
Museum's photographs collection is always expanding and presently holds
over 8000 photographs, including landscape photos from around the District
and portraits of pioneers and their descendants.
High resolution
digital image reproductions can be created from most of the photographs
in our collection with excellent results. Not only do we hold many formal
portraits and landscape photographs but also candid photographs of men
and women coming to grips with a hard life in a new country.
OTHER
In addition
to the above we also have copies of various directories and electoral
rolls, survey plans, council records, and mining records. All enquiry
results are kept in a series of envelopes which are sorted alphabetically
by surname. These family files can be treasure troves of information,
contacts and family trees.
LIBRARY
The Archives
has a collection of over 200 reference books, many of which are of interest
to family historians. The books cover the Wakatipu specifically and also
Otago generally.
We can also
assist with contact details of other museums and research institutions
around the country to help you in your search for information about a
period of New Zealand's history or your family's history.
