New Zealand's rich photographic history

Te Papa's curator of photography Athol McCredie hopes that a new book and exhibition of photographs from the museum's extensive collection will not only put some faces to famous names, but also encourage more people to donate their own significant photographs to the museum. Many of Athol's selection of New Zealand Photography are previously unseen, and often with no clue as to who originally took them. The range is extensive - from art photography and portraits to private snaps, to the occasional prank.
