	The records in this series were created or used by the New Zealand Electricity Department, the Electricity Division of the Ministry of Energy, and the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand that were held in the Energy Library's Collection.

	The Energy Library started out in 1946 as the New Zealand Electricity Department Library (known as the State-Hydro-electric Department until 1958), which contained material dating from 1900. From 1978 to 1987 the library was administered by the Ministry of Energy - Electricity Division. In 1987 the library became the Electricity Corporation New Zealand (ECNZ) Library and Information Centre and in 1999, after ECNZ was split into three state owned enterprise companies, the Energy Library was set up as a not-for-profit organisation.

	The collection contains a variety of records associated with the development of New Zealand's energy industry. The records contained in the series include deeds of sale and lease, petitions proposing Electric Power Districts, maps, videocassettes and works plans.

	The Energy Library did not retain the records it collected within their original record-keeping systems. Rather, the records were rearranged into various categories by subject and format.
