Aviation historian and Chaplain Rev Dr Richard Waugh has helped bring together the display to commemorate the memories of the airline and the people on board.
"Bay of Plenty Airways was the first airline in Tauranga but unfortunately had this tragic accident," he said.
"We are very keen ... if there is any Bay of Plenty Airways memorabilia, particularly tickets or ticket stubs or anything people might have kept."
Dr Waugh said they already had several items ready but ideally wanted keepsakes like uniforms or pilot caps - even if it was just for the day.
Already more than 150 people have confirmed they will be attending the opening of the display, and the public unveiling of a plaque.
The names of those who lost their lives will be commemorated at the event - something Dr Waugh has been striving for.
"I have been determined to have a permanent record of the people killed because I think they were a tragic cost of the accident.
"They at least deserve to have their names on a plaque."
Classic Flyers' Diane Jeffery said Bay of Plenty Airways was the forerunner of commuter airlines and was also the pioneer of the direct Tauranga to Wellington route.
"Because it was such a small airline and only existed for a small amount of time, it's really difficult to get things like uniforms but we know the office staff wore them," she said.
"Part of the mission statement here at Classic Flyers is to preserve part of New Zealand's aviation heritage ... this is hugely important in the history of aviation." Jack Browne, secretary of the Tauranga branch of New Zealand Aviation History Society, said the 50th anniversary commemorations would be "very suitable" to be held at Classic Flyers.
Dr Waugh is a leading aviation historian in New Zealand and has written a book on the 1963 Kaimai air crash, which killed all 23 passengers and crew on board.
