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.

I couldn’t put this book down!!
Format: Paperback
I couldn’t put this book down! My daughter & I stayed in a bed-n- breakfast in Lochcarran on our trip to Scotland right before the COVID pandemic. Not only is the story a fun cozy, whodunnit, but I could visualize the geography while reading. I love the Scottish Highlands & Dee describes them perfectly in this book. Can’t wait to read the next book..it should arrive today!!

Good book
Format: Audiobook
Book was interesting but had a hard time with the Scottish accent. Plus I have hearing problems so that may have been part of the issue too.

Pronunciation matters, and I can't finish this book.
Format: Audiobook
I listen almost exclusively to books set in Scotland & Ireland, so I'm very familiar with the accents and find them incredibly charming. That said, the name pronunciation really irritated me. The main character is Ally, but they are not pronouncing it to rhyme with Sally. It sounds more like they are separating it into two words- All E. After investing hours into the audiobook and trying to not let it bother me, they introduce an American character, Mamie, which should rhyme with "maybe", but NO- they call her Mommy! It is very confusing- I kept thinking a new character was introduced who was a parent. Nope. I give up. I don't think I can finish listening to this. I feel like I'm being pranked.

Enjoyable Scottish-Flavored Cozy Mystery, Although Not a Hard Solve
Format: Kindle
Ally is a 60-something-year-old woman who upends her life in Edinburgh to move to tiny Locharran in the Scottish Highlands and open a B&B in the old malthouse located on the estate (like the rest of the town) of the Earl of Locharran, Hamish Sinclair. She has her first paying guests in an older, English couple, and an American, Wilbur Carrington, who is investigating his Scottish roots -- and possibly his being the rightful Earl of Locharran? Ally's cleaning lady finds Wilbur with a knife in his back outside the B&B. This is sure gonna' affect Ally's brand-new business! Of course, her kids back in Edinburgh are concerned for her safety as well. Along with the lecherous earl's attention to Ally, the murder at the local B&B makes Ally the intense focus of local gossip, so this spurs her into attempting to solve the murder herself, as the local gendarmes don't seem to be having much luck. So...whodunnit? As soon as more folks showed up on the scene, renting rooms for Ally, the identity of the murderer(s?) became more clear. I still enjoyed the descriptions of the scenery; the new lab puppy; and the townfolk, even though this "Scottish" mystery was obviously written for an American audience w/ many stereotypes thrown in. 4 stars.
