It's fitting that the Lakes District Museum is housed in the original Bank of New Zealand building. Once a secure vault for the gold of hard-working miners, it now serves as a treasure trove of knowledge, preserving the rich history of our region.

The Lakes District Museum collection comprises of Documentary heritage materials including Maps, Plans, Manuscripts, Periodicals, Newspapers, Photographic materials, Heritage Publications, and Painted works, as well as social history artefacts.

Please our archivist if you have any enquiries and note that access to the archives is by appointment only.
