The National Library of New Zealand is here to help you access and use the collective knowledge of the nation. It's our job to collect, connect, and co-create knowledge to power New Zealand.

As a library and as a national institution we are open to one and all, and you can find out more about the role of the Library as defined in the National Library of New Zealand (Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa) Act (2003).

NZMS works to protect and preserve cultural heritage collections by offering digitisation, microfilm, and related professional services.

Founded in 1990, NZMS has decades of experience digitising collections — our team can expertly handle and digitise fragile documents, photographs, objects, and other taonga. We have developed comprehensive workflows that operate seamlessly with our equipment to digitise items of any size, quantity, or condition.
