HISTORY OF THE ARCHIVES
When Sir Dove-Myer Robinson sold his house in Remuera in 1987 prior to his move to a retirement village, he
contacted the Auckland City Council Records and Archives Manager and signed an agreement allowing his
papers to be deposited in the Auckland Public Library.
Most of the papers were in folders stored in very large cartons, many in the garage or a shed outside the main
house. The folders themselves were not in a particularly consistent order. The papers were in general in quite
good condition, free from damp, while only a very few insects were noticed in the initial move. Only a few days
were available to move the papers from the house.
In 1988, due to pressure on the Library's storage space, the papers were moved to National Archives. The
opportunity was taken while the papers were being moved to fumigate them. In November 1988, an
arrangement and description programme commenced on the papers. Blocks of numbers were allocated to the
different areas of involvement/ interest of Sir Dove-Myer.
Within those blocks, series of records were listed -- if there was evidence of previous organisation this was
maintained -- where nov evidence of previous order was found, papers were arranged -- with other items on the
same subject or with those like in character.
Rusty pins and papers were removed; papers were dusted clean and placed in acid-free folders which were in
turn placed in waxed boxes.
The papers were appraised as they were arranged and described. Virtually all original correspondence was
retained, but duplicate material, and papers of in particular the Auckland Regional Authority and the Auckland
City Council not concerned with subjects of known interest to Sir Dove-Myer Robinson were destroyed.
Overseas printed material on topics of known interest were retained, but a considerable volume of books were
accepted by the School Library Service. A number of tapes, and a small volume of photographic prints and
papers that were so badly damaged as to be unusable were destroyed. some items of memorabilia were retained
by Auckland City Council.
In dealing with each item, papers were kept in the order which they were found within an item. If an item was
too large to fit in a folder, it was split between the appropriate number of folders. The fact that this split had
been made is indicated by the item code given to the item,
Every item has code number e.g. 104.22. a split item would have numbers like 104.22 (a), 104.22 (b), 104.22
(c). The splits were done exactly as the item was found which means descending dates for some listings.
e.g.
104.22 (a)
1952-58
104.22 (b)
1949-52
104.22 (c).
1948-49
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:
Sir Dove-Myer Robinson was born in Sheffield on 15 June 1901. His wide-ranging interests have seen him
involved in an official capacity in a wide range of organisations,
He was initially involved in the motorcycle business (Robinson Motorcycles Limited) and was several times
winner of the New Zealand Motorcycle Sidecar championships, and holder of motorcycle economy and speed
records.
In 1942 he became managing director and chairman of Childswear Limited. When the company was sold to
Ross and Glendining in 1959, he retired and decided to stand for public office. He had been a City Council
member on Auckland City Council since 1952 – also the Auckland Education Board and Auckland University
Council.
Dove-Myer Robinson’s first involvement with the public domain came over the issue of the Browns Island
sewerage scheme. As president of the Auckland and Suburban Drainage League, he waged a long and ultimately
successful campaign to ensure that the Browns Island scheme was replaced with a more suitable alternative.
He first became Mayor of Auckland in 1959 and served until 1965 when he lost the election to Dr R G McElroy.
He was re-elected in 1968 and was Mayor continuously until 1980 when he was again defeated at the polls.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Series 100-109
This block of series consists of papers retained by Sir Dove-Myer as “Personal” rather than in any of his official
capacities.
Series 100, 101, 102, 104, 108 have been maintained in the order in which they were found. These appear to be
be correspondence systems established by Sir Dove-Myer himself. They cover the periods 1930-65; 1980s.
Series 100 and 101 are arranged alphabetically by subject or surname of writer. Papers were removed from their
file covers and placed in acid free folders. If a file had too many papers to fit in the folder, files were split into a
number of folders. This is indicated by the item number. Folders for a split item look like100.12 (a), 100.12 (b).
If the item was transferred intact, the item number does not have a letter following it.
Series 102 contains papers which were arranged in miscellaneous folders by the letter of name of the firm or
writer or subject. Series 105 consists of unfiled personal correspondence for the period 1939-87. Series 103, 106
and 107 are artificial series for correspondence relating to a particular area of Sir Dove-Myer’s personal life –
family and friends, knighthood, trust account.

Series 200-210
Dove Myer Robinson was a member and later president of the Auckland Suburban Drainage League – a
pressure group who tirelessly campaigned for a suitable sewerage disposal scheme for the Auckland area. The
Browns Island Scheme was opposed by the League and pursued to the point of a Royal Commission from 1937
through until 1947. The League (largely influenced by Sir Dove Myer) continued to campaign about the
drainage question after the Browns Island Scheme was withdrawn and was involved in the campaign for an
effective drainage board. The League had to adopt fundraising methods to maintain its campaign and was
ultimately reimbursed in part by the Government.
This block of series (200-210) contains minutes and correspondence of the League, submissions to Parliament
and Commissions of Enquiry, material published by the League, research material, lists of members,
advertisements and circulars relating to the case for the refund of legal expenses in fighting the Browns Island
Scheme.
