The heritage collections include a wide range of books and periodicals relating to the history of South Auckland, as well as historical South Auckland newspapers, photographs, maps, oral history recordings, ephemera, and manuscripts and archives.
The extensive New Zealand family history resources include the Births, Deaths and Marriages indexes on microfiche, the New Zealand Herald on microfilm from 1863 onwards, and the New Zealand Gazette database.
