Gifford-Cross Photographic Collection

Date1959 - 1986. Note: individual photographs may contain the date of publication, rather than the event date.DescriptionPhotographs taken by local photographers began appearing in the Bay of Plenty Times from about 1960/61. These negatives were kept by the paper, including negatives that were never published. In 1976 the paper suffered a major fire, resulting in water damage to a lot of the archives. In 1992 the paper's owners, the Gifford and Cross families, donated the negatives to the Tauranga City Libraries. There are about 160,000 frames, mostly 120-format popular in the early 1960s, and 35mm film which gradually replaced these from the late 1960s onward. There are a small number of large format negatives as well.

In 2019 the library Heritage and Research team began re-housing and digitising this valuable collection. Over time you'll see this Gifford-Cross online collection grow. Keep coming back!
