The Alexander Turnbull Library was established in 1920 in Wellington, New Zealand, after Alexander Horsburgh Turnbull gifted his collection to the nation in 1918, its collections and services now housed within the National Library building.

The Turnbull Library collections are based on Turnbull's personal collection of books, manuscripts, photographs, paintings and sketches.

Over time the collections have been built through donation, bequest, legal deposit, and targeted purchasing to contain millions of items.

The slides are of Alexander Turnbull, the buildings in which the library was housed and items from the collection.

Accompanying the slides is a sound recording of a presentation "Alexander Turnbull and his library: a key to our heritage" by the 1977 Chief Librarian James Edward Traue.
