Many church records of New Zealand are in the custody of the minister or priest of the parish or congregation which created the records. Some early records are in church or religious archives.  The Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian faiths, as well as the Salvation Army, all have archives, and some have more than one.  The Anglican church, for instance, has six diocesan archives.  Listed below is one main archive for each of the major religious organizations.  The staff at these archives will be able to direct you to the specific archive that holds records for your congregation of interest. It is possible to write to these archives and request brief searches of their records.  Keep written requests simple and include a self-addressed envelope and a small contribution for expenses and postage.
