BUSINESSES

As the majority of existing businesses still hold their records, this particular section is one of the smaller areas of the collection.

The Waitaki Hospital Board has deposited its financial records.  Of extra interest is the patients register (1884-1912) and minute books of the Benevolent Society (1880-1928) as well as the register of inmates from the Benevolent Society’s Home (1919-1990).

Ratebooks of the Oamaru Borough Council have been digitised from 1880 to 1900. Print-outs of this information are available at $1.00 per page.

The Councils amalgamated in 1989 to form the Waitaki District Council. These archives are not merely a collection of minute books, rate books and ledgers, but records on land, dog ownership, bylaws and the forming of streets and townships.  Correspondence files have a fascinating variety of queries and complaints - valuable to historian and genealogist alike.

These records have also been supplemented with records of organisations taken over by the Councils:
