Archive Services

The Wairarapa Archive staff are happy to assist any callers who have research enquiries. There are many indices and databases in the Archive which researchers can use, and the staff has good knowledge of the collection, and of the area in general.

For those who cannot call, phone and postal enquiries are welcomed. The first fifteen minutes of research are free. A fee of $35 per hour or part thereof, is charged to enquiries after the free period. Large research queries are subject to negotiation.

The Archive has a photographic laboratory and can produce many of the more than 100,000 photographs held in the various collections. Black and white photographs are available from $12.00 for 100 x 150 up to $18.00 for 210 x 250. Other prices (colour prints, large prints, laser copies) on request.
