image of front cover of 'Voices in the Air' by Peter Downes and Peter Harcourt Voices in the Air was published in 1976 and remains the classic and only popular social history of broadcasting in New Zealand.

Well illustrated with rare photos, this book features the people, places and events that built radio between 1921 and 1976. Long out-of-print, only 3000 copies were printed and many have disappeared.

These are all used copies of the book only.

ZB The Voice of an Iconic Radio Station by Bill Francis traces the story of one of the most popular radio stations in the Pacific region. Established in 1926, 1ZB has gone on to become the #1 rated radio network in New Zealand.

Now out-of-print and increasingly hard to find, this is a highly recommended social history of a radio station, its people and its impact on a nation.

The 40th anniversary of original offshore pirate Radio Hauraki was celebrated with an invitation only staff reunion and party in Auckland.

Through the generosity of the organizers, we have a small supply of numbered, original invitations to this one-off event held in 2006.

One side features a reproduction of the classic ‘red’ 1480 Radio Hauraki car sticker from the 1960’s.

A must have for all collectors of pirate radio memorabilia.

Radio Heritage Foundation projects and activities connect radio, popular culture, history and heritage.

The charitable trust has been giving a voice to those involved in radio via our website since 2004 and will continue to do so.

We are inclusive of all visitors, regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, or disability and aim to connect people of all ages and cultures who love radio

We welcome a sense of wonder from the joy of listening via radio, and from memories retold for the enjoyment of all generations.

We prefer to use environmentally sustainable goods and services where we can afford to, and we provide free community access worldwide to our collections, published research, preservation and promotion activities in a completely paper-free environment.
