The images were gifted to us in 2016 as glass plate negatives, after being initially purchased in the 1970s from Auckland's City Markets (now Aotea Square). We know nearly nothing about them but the photos give a few clues. They were taken in the early 1900s, mostly in Auckland but also across the North Island. There are also suggestions of the photographer’s links to the Auckland Jewish community.
We want to know more to help tell their stories. Do you recognise any of these people?
Contact us at pictorial@aucklandmuseum.com if you have any further clues. Please share with family and friends if you think they may be able to help!

It's inspirational.

I can help by video recording your swimming in the pool (or open water from a SUP) with a GoPro and analysing your freestyle swimming with you and help you improve your technique and swim smoother and faster.
Also happy to just record your swimming from different angles and hand you the SD card, if that is what you prefer.
On the other hand, happy to observe your swimming in the pool or open water (from a SUP) and give you feedback.
Please call 021683272 or 0224169001.
