Welcome to the Wellington City Recollect website, a database of heritage photos, books, maps and related ephemera reflecting the Capital's past. The database is administered by Wellington City Libraries.

You are welcome to share our material on social media or between individuals on a non-commercial basis but please include a reference and a link back to the original page.

Technical note : Recollect's "Zoom to 100%" function is not working correctly on some pages. Closing and re-opening the zoom viewer for that specific image should allow you to see it at full resolution if required.  Most images / pages can also be downloaded. We are endeavouring to fix this fault as soon as possible.
