Searching historic Auckland City Council records.
« on: Friday 28 January 22 21:32 GMT (UK) »
Historic Auckland City Council, property, rating, licences etc and interactive 1908 Map.

Recent activity on the WILKINSON research threads by “R WILKS” has brought to my attention, that I have not been keeping up to date, with additions to the Auckland City Council, and Library, web pages on historic records.

As part of discussion on the thread I went looking directly for the 1908 interactive map, without realizing, that there are now further resources on line linking in to that interactive map.

R WILKS post, and my reply #55 & #56

Auckland Library direct web link,

www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/arts-culture-heritage/heritage/archives/Pages/search-the-archives.aspx

Scroll down to find 17 links to Historic Property Rate Books.  Various 1880’s – 1911.

Scroll down to find 15 Historic registers 1900 – 1944. Including an obscure but interesting Lock Hospital admissions 1883 – 1886 (Contagious Disease Act 1869)

Scroll down to 14 Valuation Rolls. Various 1877 – 1920.

Each is set up with a search box, and if property is involved, may be linked directly to the interactive 1908 Auckland City Map.

Search 1908 Map

OOPS my ability of copying and pasting direct links is wanting, but they can be found on the pages referred to.

Thanks Alan and Minniehaha,

It's already in NZ Resources & Offers, although with a different link, under 'Archives Libraries, Museums, etc.'

The link is active.
