There are groups of photographs of Wellington Māori clubs rehearsing for Waitangi Day celebrations, and of events at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference Wellington, 1965.

Many of these date from the 1880s and 90s and some have belonged to S Percy Smith, one of the albums having his name on the end paper. In this group there are also photographs of Māori, and groups of Māori, many in traditional dress photographed in association with wharenui (meeting houses). Some of the people have been identified. There are also what may be personal and family photographs.
