Join us for a behind-the scenes tour of the Archives NZ film preservation lab and learn about the mahi (work) we're doing to help preserve New Zealand's precious film taonga (treasures), ensuring that these films will be available for future generations of New Zealanders.

The lab continued its work preserving government films until the end of June 2023. It closed a year ahead of schedule, reflecting the current operating environment with the move away from photochemical film preservation to digitisation.
