Nelson Historical Society Journal, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 1959

Open for Inspection

Open for Inspection

Mr J. G. McKay said many members were not aware of the work the society was doing. The office was open each Friday morning and photographs and records were available for inspection.

"We have no desire to hide what we have," he said.

The president (Mr L. E. H. Baigent) paid a tribute to the hours of work given by Mr McKay and Mr J. A. Jenkins. The work of the society was proceeding steadily and quite a number of items, such as the Gibbs diaries last year, were coming in, he added.

Mr P. B. Griffin: If we are going to go ahead and have the best collection in Nelson, we will have to have the support of the public. We need not only a suitable building but a trust fund to ensure its maintenance.

Mr Baigent pointed out that the collection was at present housed in Wellington and it would remain there until it was possible to ask for it to be transferred to Nelson.
