From Morning Report, 8:42 am on 20 September 2022

New Plymouth's Barbara Larsen has devoted most of her life to archiving the reign of the Queen.

It's serious business for the 86-year-old, who has a library of 15-thousand books about royalty in her garage, with the oldest dating back to 1840.

She spoke to Susie Fergusson.
