Photographers database

The Photographers’ Database is maintained by our Special Collections team. It is an index to photographers who have worked in New Zealand from the 1840s to the present day. It draws on advertisements, newspapers, electoral rolls, published articles, trade directories, and other resources to build up a picture of the individuals and their businesses.

The database is not exhaustive - if you would like to know any additional information about a particular photographer, you are welcome to contact Special Collections by email.
