The National Oral History Association of New Zealand Te Kete Korero-a-Waha o Te Motu (NOHANZ) provides opportunities for community, professional, and academic oral historians to meet each other and keep up with new developments by organising:

  • national conferences every two years
  • regional seminars
  • occasional workshops and presentations
  • an annual series of talks.

NOHANZ was formed in April 1986 as an outcome of the first national oral history conference held in Wellington.

  • to promote the practice and methods of oral history
  • to promote standards in oral history interviewing techniques, and in recording and preservation methods
  • to act as a resource of information and advise on practical and technical problems involved in making oral history recordings
  • to act as a co-ordinator of oral history activities throughout New Zealand
  • to produce an annual journal and regular newsletters
  • to promote regular oral history meetings, talks, seminars, workshops and demonstrations
  • to encourage the establishment of NOHANZ branches throughout New Zealand
  • to compile a directory of oral history holdings to improve access to collections held in libraries, archives and museums.

NOHANZ publishes a Code of ethical and technical practice for the use of all those recording oral history interviews.
