In September 2022, the Trust found a new home for the local branch of the NZ Society of Genealogists (NZSG). The branch opens weekly and supports people to research family histories. It has an extensive library, microfiche records and a host of historical research aides.
“The concessional rent has enabled us to keep our resources safe and available for use by our members and the public. Tracing the journey of our families – where they came from, how they got here and their journey within New Zealand is becoming more popular again and we have the resources and the experience to help find the answers.”
Di Edwards, Convenor Waiarapa branch of NZSG
