ATWC does not hold any records prior to 2000. Access to the records is facilitated by the John Kinder Theological Library but the records are held by the Anglican Diocese of Auckland. The Archivist for the Library also works for the Anglican Diocese of Auckland. Any adoption records that were held by ATWC were transferred to the Adoption Information Services Unit in the mid-1990s (now under Oranga Tamariki).
