Overview
This archive is a significant record of the development of the art sector through the critical 1980's to 1999. It records the ongoing arts debate within the museum and art gallery professions as well as the MDF's own involvement in exhibition development, training and contributions to the national debate on the arts.
The collection also closely complements the AGMANZ MAANZ archives held by Te Papa.
