New Zealand Centennial Exhibition Company Ltd, ephemera

Descriptive Data

Archives IdentifierAG007Date Range1865-1940DescriptionThis series consists of ephemeral items created in conjunction with the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition.

Ephemeral items are also interfiled in the folders of the the "New Zealand Centennial Exhibition Company Ltd, correspondence" series, especially specimen forms.

There are materials that relate to the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition sourced from donations from the community and records already held by the Wellington City Council Archives - these have not been retroactively added, but are linked using the Related Items and Related Series functions. The items linked will not represent the entirety of other related material, however, and a general search should also be undertaken by those seeking related ephemeral materials.
MediumCardSystem of ArrangementTwo artificial numbering systems have been partially applied to the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition Company Ltd records during processing at an earlier time. The most consistent of these is a basic numeric system - possibly indicating physical proximity of the records at time of boxing. These numbers have not been used as Item IDs - the digital records for these items have been given new consecutive numbers starting with 1 for each series created and the physical folders are not labeled with these new numbers. The container number and title listed in the digital records for each folder should be used for retrieval.

These items came at the end of aforementioned artificial numbering system.Collection TypeCommunity archives
