Mataura & Districts Historical Society Incorporated
Our collection reflects Mataura's rich industrial and farming heritage. We are based in Clematis Cottage which is a small restored working family's home, built in the mid 1880s.
We have a strong set of local photographs dating back to the 1870s and a comprehensive local history archive. We are currently putting our collection on-line, to share it with a wider audience. We welcome enquiries and your information about Mataura's history. Copies of our photographs are available for purchase.
