Archives New Zealand
Archives New Zealand is the official guardian of New Zealand's heritage documents. Holdings include the originals of the Treaty of Waitangi, government files and records, maps, paintings, photos and film.
Archives New Zealand has two main roles: first, to ensure government’s activities are recorded and the records are kept permanently and secondly, to provide access to these records.
Many different people and organisations use the materials held at Archives New Zealand. The materials document rights and entitlements and provide evidence of government activity. They also record history and document the relationship between Maori and the Crown. The archives are often used to research Treaty of Waitangi claims or trace whakapapa and ancestry.
