Appraisal Policy

Archives New Zealand is developing an appraisal policy to establish a framework for assisting all those undertaking an appraisal of records within the New Zealand government context.

The policy includes:

  • a definition of appraisal in the New Zealand government context
  • an outline of the need for appraisal:
    • in the context of government recordkeeping
    • for the purposes of determining which records become public archives
  • the principles of good records appraisal
  • a set of collection objectives which articulate Archives New Zealand’s view on what type of records are significant enough to become a public archive.
