Great.
Presumably that means all previous RootsChat posts providing direct NZ National Archives file links, for our overseas enquirer's, will be worthless.
Very interesting indeed.
As I don't, at this time, have a REALME account, I will have to resort to the old Auckland phone number, or emails used between myself and their staff in the past. Wonder if those will change also.
This aspect was not explained to me when I uplifted a four hour booking on the 27th of January, but data entry, for retrieval of files, was being done manually, because a new system was being phased in.
While the Auckland reading room had five computers for reader's use and for ordering files etc, over the past year, or so, they were hardly being used because they were so slow responding. Readers were being advised to approach the receptionist, as those with staff login, were getting a better down load, but still slower than I was recieving in the Waikato countryside. So some server upgrades were definitely over due.
Watch this space.
Alan.
