New Appointments for Archives New Zealand
I would like to share with you some information about new appointments at Archives New Zealand.
From 1 February I have been asked to act as Deputy Chief Executive Service Delivery and Operations for the new Department of Internal Affairs, which incorporates Archives New Zealand and the National Library.
I am pleased to tell you that John Roberts has been appointed as the acting Chief Archivist from 1 February. John, who is currently acting Group Manager Government Recordkeeping, will be based at our Wellington office. He will stay in the role until the position is filled by a permanent appointee.
As a result of John’s appointment Evelyn Wareham will step into the acting role of Group Manager Government Recordkeeping and Mark Crookston will act as the Public Sector Digital Continuity Manager.
Another major appointment sees Alison Fleming take up the role of Programme Manager Government Digital Archive. In this role she will provide strategic leadership of the work to develop an operational digital repository for public records.
Archives New Zealand remains committed to providing the same levels of service to our stakeholders and looks forward to maintaining strong ties with the recordkeeping, archives and information management communities in the future.
All the best
