The Wairarapa Archive is a community and council archive in Masterton. We have two kilometres of occupied shelving and approximately two million images. We are located at 3 Albert Street and are open to the public 1-5 Mon-Fri. We are a team of three and engage in digitisation, conservation and various outreach projects including talks and publications promoting local heritage.
