Te Whare Pātaka | The Treasury’s Pioneer Family Register documents the arrivals of early colonial families. This register, compiled by one of our many volunteers, includes the name of the ship the family originally arrived on, where possible the date of the family’s arrival, and many other details.
The Pioneer Families Register is accessible at our centre if you are able to visit in person. Alternatively, if you are unable to visit in person, for a small fee one of our volunteers will be available to search the Register on your behalf.
If you had early family in this region and would like to include your family detail in our Register please complete and submit the form below.
The Treasury’s doors are open to both physical and remote visitors. You can explore our abundant collections in person; or you can engage our skilled research team to assist you or even to do all the research yourself; and as more and more of our collection is catalogued and digitised, in the future our whole Archive and Reading Room resources will be accessible and you will be able to research virtually.
