The Wellington Branch is particularly active, perhaps not surprisingly given the concentration of recordkeepers in the capital. The Branch usually meets in Archives New Zealand's Training Room at 10 Mulgrave Street.

Post AGM Presentation: Finding new uses for archival records; How they helped map suburban growth in Wellington.

Adrian Humphris (Acting Operations Leader, City Archives and Records, Wellington City Council) will speak about research for his book, co-authored with Geoff Mew, entitled "Ring Around the City", as well as research for their forthcoming book on Wellington architects.

"Ring Around the City" looks at Wellington’s suburban growth from 1900 to 1930 taking Kilbirnie and Kelburn as case studies and contrasting the city council’s tramway system and the privately run Kelburn cable car. Adrian and Geoff used archival collections extensively for their research and the book contains many rarely seen photographs, maps and plans of early Wellington to illustrate the story. Their exemplary use of archives for a publication won them the Ian Wards prize, presented at the ARANZ conference in 2010.
