1 Best Sight in Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

The Treasury Research Centre and Archives

The two buildings that host this historical collection could not be more contrasting, with The Treasury housed in the historic Carnegie Library and the adjacent Archives in an industrial-style complex constructed in 2014. Operated by the Coromandel Heritage Trust, this is the place to go if you want to conduct serious research into the history of the region. Among the resources here are old newspapers and photographic collections, cemetery records, and maps. However, it's only open from 11 am to 3 pm.
