Number 100 - Logan Publishing Tauranga and Bay of Plenty Photo News Collection

DateSeptember 1970DescriptionThe Photo News magazine in Tauranga during the 1960s was the Instagram of that generation. With its strong photographic emphasis driven by local events and everyday locals it was very popular. Even today it is remembered fondly by those who discover it within Tauranga Library's Ngā Wāhi Rangahau.

Local editor and photographer Tony A'Hern donated this set of Photo News negatives, which includes many images never actually published. Although this professional photographic collection begins February 1969 and concludes September 1970, the magazine they supported was first published in June 1962, with support from Renwood Studio's Adrian Orr (Cameron Road). Tauranga City Libraries has the full set of the Tauranga and Bay of Plenty Photo News. These comprise 10 bound volumes:

• Volume 1: (No. 1-10) 28 June 1962 to 30 March 1963
