History

Sound Archives is a not-for-profit entity, wholly owned by Radio New Zealand. Sound Archives is separately funded by the Broadcasting Commission (NZ On Air) to act as a national broadcast radio archive. This entity was formed in 1998 by the amalgamation of two separate units within Radio New Zealand, the general archive collection, and the Maori programme archive. Find out more on the about us page.
