Our Isel Park Research Facility is where our dedicated staff care for our regional taonga (treasures), including one of New Zealand’s most significant photographic collections. The Isel Park facility is home to an extensive range of historical archives and a library, and also collections of taonga, social history material, textiles, art and natural history specimens. Our trained staff are available to assist visitors with their research to help you uncover the stories and history from the beautiful Tasman region.
Free Admission – donations are appreciated. Research and reproduction fees may apply
