Read B4 requesting Archives lookups
« on: Sunday 23 November 08 20:14 UTC (UK) »
It has become apparent that more people are requesting lookups quoting data found on CD.

PLEASE NOTE:
Most requests for Wellington require a box number which is not normally given on the CD.

How to check if the CD has the correct info:
Go to the Archway website
http://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/
and using the “Simple Search”, see if you can find the record.

If you can’t find the file,
Go to the “Advanced Search” option

(say we are looking for: AAOM 6031,1037/1953)

On the diagram on the RH side

Click on:
Series

type in the Code (Series #) & Agency Code
Go

More detail

View All Records Belonging to this

Refine Search

type in the year (1953)
Go

find the range that contains 1037
More

and you will find that it is in Box 209

So, the information you would need to provide in this example is:
agency   series   accession   box / item   record   part   alternative no.
AAOM    6031                         209   1037      
+ Name of the person
+ Year Filed
