The first European settlers of New Zealand were individuals who came because of their occupations. They were missionaries, sealers, whalers, merchants, and others. Later, business men arrived to provide services to meet the needs of the new settlements. Records were generated by and for these businesses and their employees. Businesses have come and gone over the years and not all their records have survived, but some have found their way into the collections of archives and libraries in New Zealand and elsewhere. One of the largest collections is held at Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington. See | The first European settlers of New Zealand were individuals who came because of their occupations.
