Abstract
This article explores various ways in which the Parliamentary Library aided the
broader evolution of libraries in New Zealand. It emphasises the genesis of the
National Library. It also includes contributions made by particular Parliamentary
Librarians, the early years of the Alexander Turnbull Library, and the
newspaper, New Zealand and international documents collections which over the
years became national resources. The history of the Parliamentary Library (for
much of its life the General Assembly Library) reveals the significant role it
played in library developments in this country.
