As part of our commitment to improve understanding of current recordkeeping issues within government, Archives New Zealand supports recordkeepers, and staff responsible for recordkeeping in the state sector and local government, to develop their skills and knowledge through:
Government Recordkeeping Forums: Archives New Zealand runs regular government recordkeeping forums in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin. The forums allow people working in government agencies to discuss current recordkeeping issues, hear current updates from Archives New Zealand, network with others in the same field, and share ideas and concerns with Archives New Zealand.
Training Offered: Archives New Zealand offers courses to support recordkeeping across the state sector and local government. The courses aim to develop knowledge and skills in individual recordkeeping staff, and raise awareness of The Public Records Act (PRA).
Training Opportunities Directory: A listing of training opportunities in New Zealand for records and information staff. Training includes: short courses, formal qualifications, seminars/forums and conferences.
Newcomers Network: Information about the newcomers network. The network is a collaboration with Archives New Zealand, Records Management Association of Australasia (RMAA), Archives and Records Association of New Zealand (ARANZ) and the EDRMS Special Interest Group to encourage networking and discussion amongst newcomers to the records management profession.
