New Zealand Labour Party, Te Atatu Women's Branch records.

 Collection
Identifier: MSS-Archives-2015/05

Scope and Contents

The collection includes correspondence, membership records, clippings, financial records and election campaign material.

The records appear to have been organised by Mary Bragg (nee Yelash) QSM an office holder in both the Women’s Branch and the Te Atatu Labour Electoral Committee. Consequently while the majority of the records in the collection are those of the Women’s Branch some appear to relate to Mary’s wider involvement in Labour Party activities in the Henderson and Te Atatu Electorates.

Biographical / Historical

The Te Atatu Women’s Branch of the New Zealand Labour Party was formed in July 1976 as the Henderson Women’s Branch. In 1979 the Branch changed its name after electoral boundary changes resulted in much of the Henderson Electorate becoming part of the newly formed Te Atatu Electorate.
