The Invercargill City Council Archives Collections are housed at the Invercargill Public Library. Opened in 2008, the Archives is home to records from the Invercargill City Council, the Southland community, and Public Offices such as the Southland Education Board. The Archives also provides access to the Southland Oral History Project collection.
Archives are primary source records such as minute books, letters, photographs, diaries, and maps. Our collecting scope includes records from local government as well as Southland businesses, sporting and cultural groups, families, and schools.
