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.

Don’t buy for restaurant industry
Size: 10.5, Color: Black, Size: 10.5, Color: Black
Good looking shoes, fairly comfortable and good value based on the description shared, so I don’t feel it’s fair to rate them lower than 4 stars. I had high hopes for them based on previous reviews from others saying they wore them in the food and beverage industry that mentioned their quality and durability, however I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you do. I purchased these to wear working in a full service upscale restaurant and in less than two months have managed to have torn the material on the middle exterior section and the bottoms of the shoes are already completely worn down. Good design, but the durability needs to be improved if they’re to hold up for that industry.

DO NOT BUY (lasted less than 7 months)
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
I bought these for work as a bartender in August of 2025. By December, the tops were scuffed, frayed, and peeling beyond repair, and by February, the soles were coming off. I’ve never had a pair of shoes with such low quality.
