Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision
Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision is New Zealand’s moving image and sound archive.
The collections – which include amateur recordings, public broadcasts and commercially released productions – present a range of perspectives on what it has meant to be a New Zealander across history.
