Michael Biggs, Senior Archivist, MW LASS - Archives Central
Natalie Dewson, Senior Electronic Archives Advisor, Horizons Regional Council

Archives Central is a joint archive established by the councils in the Manawatu-Wanganui Region and is managed and run by Manawatu-Wanganui Local Authority Shared Services Ltd (MW LASS Ltd). The goal of the Archives Central project is to provide safe and compliant storage for the archives, an online database for public and staff access and find suitable approaches for the management of digital records and archives. In 2010 the database (www.archivescentral.org.nz) was launched to the public, with each council’s archives being catalogued and added over the next four years. In 2012 the archives building was officially opened with the archives of five councils stored. A sixth council joined the project in 2013. The Born Digital element was established in 2012 to assist participating councils to deal with a digital archive future. A suite of advice and established standards was assembled and signed off as recommended standards by Councils in 2013.

FINALIST FIVE | Building records back-scanning project - pilot
Joy Kopa, Records and Information Manager, Tararua District Council

Hardcopy Building Records - words that make a Records Team cringe, made worse by a challenge from Government - “e-Records are the future ... Make it happen!” Success would need the full support of Council, and until now “Records” was a backroom process unseen by all – including Councillors. Our approach was to develop a pilot project to test our processes and productivity, and enable us to estimate costs, time frames and staffing needs before presenting to Council for support & funding. In all, ten people were involved (records grew from one to seven FTE for six weeks), we scanned 20% of building packets, changed the mind-set of Council and achieved two new FTEs for the records team. The pilot commenced 7 January 2014.
