About the National Library of New Zealand
The purpose of the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa is to enrich the cultural and economic life of New Zealand and its interchange with other nations.
We're located in Wellington, New Zealand (close to the Beehive and Parliament Buildings) and have branches and offices throughout the country.

The National Library of NZ on The Commons
We're very proud to be part of The Commons on Flickr. We went live in November 2008 with a selection of 120 historical photographs from the Alexander Turnbull Library, the research library within the National Library.
Our (other) Flickr photostream
In June 2007 we began posting a selection of our collection images onto Flickr as a pilot. We hope to see that this helps new people discover some of the wonderful material in our collections, from photos of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones on tour in New Zealand to the Hastings Blossom Festival.
