Looking for an old photo?

We can help you find historic images taken by our photographers — moments that might be meaningful to you, your whānau, or your community.

To get started, fill out the form above with as much detail as you can. A research fee covers the time it takes to search our archives. Please note this fee is non-refundable. If we find the photo, we’ll email you a low-res preview and provide you with a link to complete the purchase.

What we need from you:

Dunedin used to have three newspapers: The Otago Daily Times, Otago Witness and The Evening Star. We can search all three, but we’ll need to know which paper and the exact date the photo was published. If you don’t know the day, a specific month will help. Unfortunately, just the year isn’t enough for us to search, especially for dates before 1984, where we do need the exact date. Note that we charge a higher research fee to cover the additional work required to find pre-1984 images.

If you're local, the Dunedin Public Library has old editions on microfiche, which might help you track down the right date. The Hocken Library also has a comprehensive archive and may be able to assist.

Note: The research fee doesn’t include the purchase of prints. Rates are listed below.

Sizes and rates:

  • A5 - 20x15cm - $24
  • A4 - 30x20cm - $33
  • A3 - 42x27cm - $60
  • A2 - 59x39cm - $90
  • Digital file - Price on application

New Zealand wide shipping offered at no charge. Please allow 20 working days for your request to be processed.

A few tips to guide your search

  • We don’t have ODT negatives from before late 1969.
  • For ODT images before 1984, there’s no full index. We have some proof books, but they’re incomplete. If you can provide a publication date, or at least a month and year, we can usually track the image down.
  • ODT images from mid-1984 onwards are much easier to find. These are indexed in monthly scrapbooks with negative numbers.
  • We don’t hold original negatives for the Otago Witness. Images can be copied from the published pages, but they will show a halftone screen. Final quality depends on the size of the original printed image. Paper Past is the best place to find Otago Witness publication dates.
  • Evening Star 35mm negatives from mid-1966 to the paper’s closure in 1979 are fully indexed and dated. These are generally easy to find and may include extra images that were never published.
  • Evening Star glass plate negatives are still being sorted and indexed. Plates from March 1948 to the late 1960s can sometimes be located, but results can be hit and miss.

Stylish and great value!
Color: Medium Grey, Size: 14
This grey suit was a great find for a school ceremony and will definitely be used again. The neutral color makes it easy to pair with different shirts and ties, and it has a modern, clean-cut look. The jacket and pants fit nicely after a quick press, and the quality was better than I expected for the price. It lost a star only because the waist on the pants needed a slight adjustment, but overall, we’re very happy with it!

Runs big, and fabric may not be same color as picture
Color: Medium Grey, Size: 16, Color: Medium Grey, Size: 16
This suit was a good find for us, as we usually dress up for church, and my 13 yo son often wears suits. He normally wears a size 16, so that’s what we ordered, and in dark charcoal gray. The suit we got was a light, heathered gray that didn’t look much like the one in the picture. It was very wrinkly and thin, and a little scratchy. Also, the sleeves were way too long and the torso cut of the jacket was pretty wide. The pants were very large in the waist, but fit him decently in the length (he’s 5’4” and weighs 90 lbs). Overall the suit looked like it was drowning him, so I would order a size down unless you have a larger child/teen. Because of the ill fit, I haven’t had the chance to see what the suit looks like on him as it’s supposed to, but I guess I’ll return it or wait a year or two until he fills it out a bit more. Not overly impressed with the quality, so I’m not sure I’d pay $55 for this one again.

Great Quality.
Color: Beige, Size: 14, Color: Beige, Size: 14
Bought this for my son to attend a wedding on the beach. It looks very good, the color is beautiful and is true to size. He is 14 so I got size 14. He is 5’7” and weighs about 110 lbs. the pants length was perfect too. Just needs a little ironing.
