A Continuum Resource Kit containing Archives New Zealand’s current standards, tools and guidelines, is available to agencies in hard-copy. The individual components of the Kit can also be downloaded from this site. As new publications are added to the Kit, copies for inclusion in the folder will be sent to clients. Please send requests for the Resource Kit to rkadvice@archives.govt.nz.
The Resource Kit has been updated in light of the Public Records Act 2005. This update includes a new visual guide
(98 kb) and table of contents (RTF, 75 kb) which will provide an overview of the publications within the Continuum Kit.
