Description: This photo is from Archives New Zealand's National Publicity Studios collection. The National Publicity Studios was established in 1945, but its beginnings can be traced back to the establishment in 1924 of a Publicity Office - part of the Department of Internal Affairs. The emphasis of this Publicity Office was on films, photographs and booklets. The purpose of the National Publicity Studios was to provide advice to government departments and state agencies on the provision of photographic, art, and display services and in particular to assist in the production of publicity material aimed at conveying a favourable image of New Zealand. Publicity Caption: Top of hill in centre background is site of old Wiriroa [Wairoa or Weraroa?] Redoubt used by Pakehas during the time of Maori War. Photographer: Mr. Christensen, October 1948, Waitotara. Archives Reference: AAQT 6539 W3537 Box 40 / A9414 archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24457311 Material from Archives New Zealand
