A GUIDE TO LISTING AND BOXING

1. > PURPOSE OF GUIDE

This recordkeeping guide is to assist public offices with compiling transfer lists and boxing records for transfer to Archives New Zealand. Deposit with Archives New Zealand occurs once records that have been authorised as having permanent value are no longer required by public offices for business and legislative purposes.

The guide outlines the transfer process and gives specific guidance on how to list and package records according to set standards. If you have any questions or would like further advice or assistance, please contact Archives New Zealand.

For further information, please refer to:

• Continuum advisory notice A6: Making Access Decisions Under the Public Records Act, which gives more detailed information about making access decisions for transferred records.
• Our website, /continuum, from which copies of forms and publications can be downloaded.
