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.

Many more of our images are available on Timeframes .
