Welcome to the Heritage Centre & Archives

The extraordinary story of The Salvation Army in New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa is powerfully represented in the Heritage Centre & Archives. Artifacts, photographs, files, publications - histories that are far more than stories. They are the testimonies to the incredible sacrifice, commitment, fortitude, creativity and faithfulness of Salvation Army Officers and Soldiers.

Visitors are welcome by appointment, please email or phone to arrange a suitable time.
