Auckland Research Centre

The Auckland Research Centre is designed for research into both family and local history. Non-members can enter the Auckland Research Centre for free. We're located on level two of the Central City Library.


Family history collections

Family history is a vital part of the Auckland Research Centre. As well as published family histories, you will find indexes to births, deaths and marriages in New Zealand and other parts of the world, shipping records, guides and other biographical sources.


Local history collections

The local history collection focuses on the greater Auckland region, but also includes general New Zealand and Pacific history and literature.  As well as published material, and several thousand reels of microfilm, there are also unique indexes and other bibliographic resources about Auckland.


Family history research

People unable to visit the Auckland Research Centre in person can commission research via the website, or write, email or telephone us with research requests. Our charges are $20 per half hour of research time plus the cost of any photocopying or printing.
