THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES, NEW ZEALAND


If you want to see the Treaty of Waitangi, you can visit the National archives of New Zealand. Inside the National Archives, turn right for the air-conditioned vault where the Treaty of Waitangi and several dozen other important historical documents are stored. the Treaty itself looks rather torn and battered (it travelled around the country for several months until the 213 signatures necessary for its implementation were collected), but it is the genuine article.

The National Archives is located at 10 Mulgrave Street. Open : weekdays 9am-5pm, Sat 9am-1pm. Free Admission. Or, you can visit their website : Click here.

You may also want to visit Old St. Paul's Church. the place is not far from the National Archives, turn right out of the National Archives and walk straight ahead for 1 or 2 minutes to the church.
