Summary

[edit]
Description

On 4 December 1991, the current headquarters of Archives New Zealand on Mulgrave Street, Wellington, were officially opened. Archives New Zealand is a government department that acts as the official guardian of New Zealand’s public archives, and works to promote good information management as the government’s recordkeeping authority. The National Archives from 1975 to 1991 was situated in the Air New Zealand Building in Vivian Street. During this time there was discussion that Archives could be situated in the new National Library of New Zealand building opened in 1987 but this was not proceeded with. However, National Archives continued to search for appropriate premises and moved to the former Government Print Office in Mulgrave Street in 1991.

This model of the current site of Archives NZ dates from 1960-1970 when it was still in use as the Government Printing Office. It comes from a series of material relating to the move to Mulgrave Street created by the building manager who project managed the move from the Air New Zealand building to the current site on Mulgrave Street. It is an artifical series containing plans of Government Printing Office and files relating to the preparation of the building as an archival repository. The series was established because there is a clear provenance - the files were created by the building manager, they are unregistered and relate specifically to the move from Vivian to Mulgrave Street.
