Hi again.

In simple terms, if records are held in an Archives branch, they should show in an ARCHWAY search. As long as there were no cataloging errors.

Alan.

Not necessarily Alan, as Auckland Archives hold a lot of admission books for the Avondale asylum and the individual entries are not indexed on Archway.these books are a great source of information.

Cheers Janette
