Internal Affairs Minister Tinetti Claims Archives NZ Working 'Really Well' While Users Descibe Services as Worst in Decades
November 23, 2022
Archives NZ is in its worst state in decades, those who use its services say, but the minister responsible for the national archive disagrees, saying the current arrangement is working “really well”.
Last week the Government’s record-keeping authority removed public access to its widely used online collections search tool – which had only been live since February – due to a potential privacy and security breach, after restricted files became visible.
Late on Wednesday Archives reinstated access to the search tool, with chief archivist Anahera Morehu saying she was satisfied there was no breach.
