New Zealand’s National Archives preserves history. It safeguards the documentary heritage of Aotearoa, protecting government records and ensuring long-term public access to historically significant information. Maintaining stable environmental conditions is essential for protecting its irreplaceable collections, including paper records, photographs, audiovisual material and digital archives held across the national collection.
We recently completed a full HVAC upgrade at the facility, delivering a modern, energy-efficient climate-control system designed specifically for archival environments. The installation provides precise temperature and humidity regulation, improved air filtration and greater system redundancy to ensure the continuous protection of sensitive materials.
The project improves preservation outcomes and operational reliability, supporting the archive’s long-term mission to protect New Zealand’s recorded history.
