The Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision central office in Wellington (cnr Ghuznee and Taranaki streets) is where the majority of our moving image archiving takes place. Also at our Wellington branch: call in and visit our media library, or make an appointment to use our research library.

Our Christchurch office is where the majority of our sound archiving happens. Visits to the Christchurch branch are by appointment only (email [email protected]), as audio recordings take time to source and prepare for listening.

Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision also operates a Travelling Film Show, which can be booked to screen anywhere in the country (www.ngataonga.org.nz/collections/access-points/travelling-film-show), and medianet sites where you can view material from the collections in art galleries, museums and libraries around the country (www.ngataonga.org.nz/collections/access-points/medianet)
