Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives Parish Archives Collection – South Canterbury District A descriptive list of holdings at November 2014 For more information, please contact: The Archivist Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives PO Box 931 Christchurch New Zealand 8140 Phone 03 366 6049 Email: [email protected] Website: www.methodist.org.nz The Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives national archive in Christchurch is the approved repository for Methodist Church parish records for Taranaki, Wanganui, Hawkes Bay, Manawatu, Wellington, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury and West Coast Districts. The approved repository for Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Waikato records is the Auckland Methodist Archives. The approved repository for Otago and Southland parish records is the Hocken Collection, Dunedin. Parish records date from the establishment of the first Wesleyan, Bible Christian, Primitive Methodist, or United Free Methodist Churches in New Zealand through to the present day. In the case of union or combined parishes, records may be held by other repositories such as the Presbyterian Archives and Anglican Archives. These records are available to researchers within the Reading Rooms of the approved repositories, unless designated “Restricted Access”. Please contact the Archivist for more details if requesting access to records marked with this designation. This list is arranged in alphabetical order by name of Church or Parish. Code numbers are used to uniquely identify each Church. Not all parish records have a catalogue number; where one has been used, this is included in this descriptive list. Please also refer to the Fact Sheet A guide to Methodist terms used in the Parish Archives Collection. 1 Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives Christchurch Parish Archives Collection – South
