NZTA Oral History Project
Since 2003 the NZTA has been engaged in a programme of interviews to provide an oral archive of the emergence of professional theatre in New Zealand from the 1950s.
The New Zealand Theatre Archive / Pūranga Whakaari o Aotearoa Oral History Project has transcribed a series of three-hour interviews, all with basic indexing that includes name/keyword searching, that are held by the Turnbull Library.
