This series covers the original personnel files, duplicate personnel files, military history sheets, and microfilm copies of the original personnel files of New Zealand Defence service personnel. Most original files were destroyed after being microfilmed. Those original files which were retained mainly cover officers and senior non-commissioned officers, but also include some other ranks.

The New Zealand Defence Force served to protect the sovereignty and advance the well-being of New Zealand by maintaining a level of armed forces sufficient to deal with small contingencies affecting New Zealand and its region and capable of contributing to collective efforts where wider interests were involved.
As part of the 1989 restructuring of the Ministry of Defence, Headquarters New Zealand Defence Force (HQ NZDF) was established as the central component of the Defence Force structure.

Access Statement:
All personnel files are open, except for:
• Reference enquiries from private individuals in sealed envelopes, which are restricted for 10 years from date of transfer to protect the privacy of enquirers. At the end of this 10 year period the restrictions will be reviewed jointly by the New Zealand Defence Force and Archives New Zealand. (Note: the sealed envelopes do not contain information about service personnel; they are enquiries from private individuals only).
• A large proportion of these records contain microfilm strips that cannot be produced in the reading room for preservation reasons. However, a file that contains microfilm strips can be digitised on reader request and the digital copy will be linked to the Archway entry (if we have not already done so).
If you would like to request that a personnel file be digitised please contact us by either visiting our Wellington Reading Room or by using our Remote Reference Service:

The microfilm reels may not be issued to the public, but Archives New Zealand staff may search the reels and provide copies of information on personnel whose service ended before the end of 1920. This restriction will be reviewed when the remaining service records for personnel who served beyond 1920 are transferred to Archives New Zealand.
