General archive records and collections
Our archives provide access to local authority records dating from 1852, when permanent local government services first began.
What you can access in our archives
Our archives include around 420,000 records that have been transferred from former local authorities within the Auckland region to Auckland Council Archives.
Historic district schemes and plans
Historic district schemes and plans are still used to determine the rules and permitted activities that were in place when a property or other asset was built or developed.
Our archives include a list of the historic district schemes and plans for the Auckland region.
