Vic Percival papers relating to New Zealand-China trade
Scope and Contents
Collection files include a wide range of information including correspondence, visit information, trade and promotional literature, brochures and samples. This is a very comprehensive record of Percival's China-NZ trade activities from their inception in 1958 until the mid- 2000s, with the bulk covering 1984 to the late 1990s. Presumably the 1984 date reflects the removal of many trade barriers by the Labour Government.
