The Archives are owned by a Trust and housed in the Alexander Turnbull Library of the National Library of New Zealand, Wellington.

We collect, preserve and make available for research the records and personal papers of LGBTTIFQ people and organisations in New Zealand. LGBTTIFQ means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, takatāpui, fa'afafine, intersex or queer and includes any same-sex attracted, transgender or intersex members of any indigenous community of the Pacific.

LAGANZ Name Change

We recently consulted about changing the name of LAGANZ and we received 371 survey submissions and emails - thank you! 80% were in favour of a name change.

Read about the Board's new decisions arising from the Name Change Process.

 

We recently joined forces with the Rainbow NZ Charitable Trust and other groups for rainbow communities fundraising event - GiveOUT Day 2023 - giveout.org.nz - on Friday 8 September 2023 and we raised $4,262 for a new laptop and specialist tools and software to process and archive our queer content.

GiveOUT Day.

Thank you for your support!
