Diocesan Archive

The Archive/Te Whare Kahurangi is a gateway to some of New Zealand’s oldest colonial treasures, some of which predate the Treaty of Waitangi. 
The collection is a collaborative venture of the Anglican Diocese of Auckland and Te Pīhopatanga o te Tai Tokerau which preserves and manages Anglican documents, collateral and multimedia from 1815 to the present day. A research facility is available to the public by appointment.
Expect to find archival treasures such as original baptism registers brought to New Zealand by the first missionaries; a ledger from 1835 penned by Bishop George Augustus Selwyn; marriage/burial registers; liturgical garments; records from early orphanages, schools and institutions such as the Auckland City Mission… and much more.
