Question 1

Why can’t I find a picture of my relative?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, not everyone in the RNZAF has been photographed and often names were never recorded. During World War Two, pilots courses and some other air crew courses have photographs but there are virtually no ground-crew groups. Post-War, most trades were photographed, but most of these aren’t yet digitised, or available via our Fotoware database.

If you'd like to request a search of the non-digitised collection, please contact the Keeper of Photographs by submitting a research enquiry here.

Question 2

Can I download a photograph and use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For private, non-commercial or educational purposes, you are free to use the photos as you wish.

If you are publishing a book or internet page, permission must first be obtained from the Air Force Museum of New Zealand.
In all cases you must credit the source – either ‘RNZAF Official’ or ‘Air Force Museum of New Zealand.’

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

All images available can be downloaded at no cost.

Please see question above.

Question 4

What database are you using?

Accepted Answer

We use Fotoware, which is designed for image libraries, including GLAM institutions (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums). It is used extensively internationally, including by numerous museums and galleries in Australia.
