Where are we?

We are centred on the town of Stratford in  Taranaki on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand.

Our Branch Research Rooms and Library are situated at 65-67 Miranda St, Stratford.

Our geographical area covers from Tariki in the North to Te Roti in the South, Awatuna to the West and Tangarakau in the East.
