Notice of Recess

07 May, 2008 by David Langman

Due to financial constraints the Centre has reluctantly had to suspend services until further notice while plans are developed to establish a viable ongoing operation.

General enquires on photographic matters should be directed to your nearest museum, library or photographic society. National providers of historic photographic resources are the Alexander Turnbull Library, Archives New Zealand or the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
