Archives - A mine of information - Ordering Photographs

We have over 20,000 images of the Whakatipu, from significant landscapes through to candid snapshot images of daily life – and our collection is growing weekly.

If you have any photographs of the Whakatipu in your collection you are willing to donate, we would love to hear from you. We are currently interested in slides and photographs from the 1920s – 1970s.

Through the dedicated work of archivists over the years, much of our photographic collection has been digitised. This means copies are now easily made without causing any damage to the originals. Very exciting news indeed!

If you would like to order one of those photographs, please contact to arrange the purchase.
