How to use the new Archives NZ Collections Search
« on: Wednesday 25 May 22 06:24 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

Anyone can search the catalogue but will need to create a Collections search account which you sign in to with a RealMe password to:

•   have records ordered on your behalf, so you can view them in the reading room.
•   pay to have an item digitised.
•   pay for remote reference services.

See:

 Some crafty genius has designed a work-around finding aid for Archives NZ material. It uses the new Collections data but displays it like the old Archway. It actually works really well

Thank you so much.

As I live in Oz have been unable to access since it was changed as do not have a RealMe password.

Have just read some Wills so am very happy :)

Morning Minniehaha and Dragonlady,

Thanks for letting me know, I'll try to find another webpage to link to otherwise I'll remove this topic.
