Archives New Zealand’s new website has several improvements aimed to make it easier and quicker for users to find information.
The new Archives New Zealand website has been reorganized based on how people search for information, which should make it easier to navigate through the site to find what you need. For example, for information on how to look after your archives you would go to ‘Advice on Records and Archiving’. This section has resources to help you create and maintain your records and archives as well as tools to help manage your information.
Archives New Zealand’s online services can now be accessed directly from the homepage. There is also an area where you can go directly to information useful to the type of work or research you are doing. If you are a teacher, this link would take you directly to resources for schools or, if you are a family historian, to information on accessing genealogical records.
A new search engine has been installed which will return results more quickly and accurately than before.
Archives New Zealand will continue to review the site and look at ways to make it easier for you to use as well as improve the services we offer online.
