It depends on whether you want records from a Children's Home or a maternity hospital.
Requesting and accessing your records can bring up a range of emotions. You can find support to help you during this process. You can request records about a Children’s Home by contacting Salvation Army Archives by:
The Salvation Army Heritage Centre and Archives PO Box 40542 Trentham Upper Hutt 5140.
Or you can use our online records request form. This form lets you request records from one or more organisations at a time. If you want to talk through the process with The Salvation Army, you can arrange an in-person or Zoom meeting with them. You can also have a lawyer, advocate or support person talk to them on your behalf.
You can request records from a maternity hospital (also known as Bethany Hospitals) by:
Maternity Hospital Records The Salvation Army Territorial Headquarters PO Box 6015 Marion Square Wellington 6141
If you are in prison and have no email access, you can request your records in writing.
Printed records will be couriered to you at the prison.
