            [history] => 
The film reel collection was developed from film taken by in Antarctica while on expeditions as well as promotional and informational film about the DSIR's activities and role in Antarctica. The film reel collection has been included in the Pictorial collection due to similar storage and preservation requirements, and because their content is related to that of the photographic collection (i.e. a record of New Zealand's Antarctic activities).
The Antarctica New Zealand Pictorial Collection dates back to the beginning of New Zealand's involvement in Antarctica with the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (TAE) of 1956 to 1958 and International Geophysical Year (IGY) activities (1957 to 1959). Photographs from that expedition and those activities went to the Ross Dependency Research Committee and from there to the Antarctic Division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR).
The collection was continued with photographs and slides collected each year by those working at Scott Base and, by the professional photographers employed by the DSIR for this purpose (there is also a small number of "heroic era" images dating from 1902 to 1915, that were used for reference purposes). This system of photographic record keeping resulted in a detailed collection representative of each year's events until 1994 when the organisation ceased employing professional photographers. No organised system for updating was put in place to replace the previous joint professional and amateur system, making the yearly photographic record post 1994 fragmented and incomplete in some areas until the advent of digital photography when a digital database was implemented.
The result is that visual documentation of New Zealand's Antarctic activities is not as complete in the 1990’s compared to the years where a photographer was employed by the organisation. Gaps in the collection were rectified with donations by event personnel and agreements with Scott Base staff. Science event personnel continue to provide pictorial materials to update the collection both retrospectively and in the future.
The collection consists of the following:
slides;
photographic positives (prints) with negatives attached;
photographic positives (prints) with no negatives;
negatives without photographic positives (prints);
glass plate negatives;
inter-negatives.
Digitisation Project
A project to digitise the collection was undertaken by Antarctica New Zealand in 2014/15. The ADAM (Antarctica New Zealand Digital Asset Manager) project digitised and comprehensively catalogued as much of the collection as possible before it was transferred to Archives New Zealand.
Images were assigned an ANZSC (Slide Collection) or ANZPC (Photograph Collection) number during the ADAM digitisation project. Please note that some images have a running number in place of an ANZSC or ANZPC number, and some have no number. Original classification numbers (if recorded) have been included in the alternative record number field.
The ADAM website was launched on 18 June 2015. 
Access to the digitised collection can be found on the Antarctica New Zealand Digital Asset Management (ADAM) website, http://antarctica.recollect.co.nz/ .
