DescriptionThe Elms | Te Papa Tauranga, is one of New Zealand's oldest heritage sites. As a place of early contact between Māori and Pākehā, this historic site remains at the centre of Tauranga’s history and identity today. Encompassing category one listed heritage buildings and nationally significant collections – all set within a diverse and tranquil garden setting – this one hectare property is a must-see destination for visitors to the region.
The Elms also contains many archives, books and photographs from this time. This online collection by The Elms Foundation consists of the photographs collected by the foundation over the years.
