Important message for all Christchurch Office of Archives New Zealand customers (Updated 5 June)

Please note the following important dates:

READING ROOM CLOSURES (Peterborough Street)

Tuesday 26 June – closed for one day only, for relocation preparations

Monday 16 July to Friday 3 August inclusive – three week closure for final stage of move

NEW READING ROOM OPENS AT WIGRAM (15 Harvard Avenue)

Monday 6 August

WE ARE MOVING TO WIGRAM

In late June this year, we will begin the process of moving to our new building in Wigram at 15 Harvard Avenue, near the Air Force Museum. The move will take six to eight weeks and there will be some disruption to our services during this time.

We aim to keep the Reading Room at Peterborough Street open for most of this period, although we will be closing for three weeks from Monday 16 July before re-opening in Wigram on Monday 6 August. We may be able to allow limited access to the Deeds Room material during those three weeks. Please note, however, that as individual archives are moved from Peterborough Street to Wigram from late June, they will not be available for viewing until we are open in the new building. We strongly recommend that if you are planning any research in the near future you aim to complete this before mid-June or delay it until August.Please also note that there will be no parking available on site at Peterborough Street during the move.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. This message may be updated further. Please keep an eye on our website, Archway, and Facebook or contact the Christchurch Office on 03 377 0760 and email Christchurch.archives@dia.govt.nz if you have any questions.
