The Queenstown Historical Society collates historical resources from the Whakatipu and beyond and offers digital access to the Queenstown Courier Magazine.

The Society was established in 1985 to collect and preserve records and images of the history of the Upper Clutha region and make them available to members of the public.

The Southern Regional News Index is a selective index of articles from local Dunedin and Otago newspapers and other sources. Subjects covered include:

  • Biographical - major stories about local and regional people
  • Obituaries of local and regional people
  • Local and regional issues of current and future importance
     

The online Southern Regional News Index database contains records dated from 1993 onwards, and some earlier periods, for example the 1850s, the 1930s and 1940s.
