The Surveying Company Ltd management and staff have been working on making this project a reality.

Thanks John Gasson, Glenn Wilson, Angie Crawford, Neil Crispe and Debbie McKenzie.

The Franklin Photo News started in December 1967 and ended in November 1973. Publication was monthly capturing the goings on throughout the Franklin area through the use of black and white photographic reproductions and descriptive text.

The magazines were eagerly anticipated each month when they were purchased originally for 25 cents and over time increasing to 45 cents per edition.

These days the magazines are more important than ever as they captured a representation of a social slice of life and cultural change in provincial New Zealand.

This website has been created as a 100% non-profit community spirited project to enable the Franklin Photo News to be shared to the community of Franklin some 50 years after the first edition was printed. This website would not have been possible if it were not for the generous loan of the magazines from many individuals, thanks.
