Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara O Te Kāwanatanga

We work to ensure effective, trusted government information for the benefit of all New Zealanders. We preserve and protect more than seven million official records, from 19th century treaties to 21st century documents and data. Our goal is for all New Zealanders to easily access and use this taonga, connecting you to your rights and entitlements and stories – now and for the future. Archives New Zealand administers the Public Records Act 2005 (PRA), which establishes the regulatory framework for information and records management across the public sector. Under the PRA, our role is to: - Enable the government to be held accountable by ensuring that full and accurate records of central and local government are created and maintained - Preserve and manage, and provide access to, records of long-term value - Enhance public confidence in the integrity of public and local authority records In fulfilling these responsibilities, we ensure that New Zealanders have access to New Zealand's public archives so that they may better understand their heritage and democracy.
