Official Information Act request reference OIA2021-0665
Thank you for your request for official information from Archives New Zealand. You have
asked:
1. Has the transfer of born-digital records to the archives begun?
2. If so, which agencies have transferred born-digital records and what is the volume
of the transfers.
3. If digital transfer has not yet commenced, when wil the archives begin to accept
the transfer of born-digital records?
Archives New Zealand began to transfer born-digital material into the Government Digital
Archive in 2009. Please see the table at Appendix A, which sets out each born-digital
transfer to date, the accession number, transferring agency, volume of records and period
for which the records relate.
Agencies that wish to transfer born-digital records to Archives New Zealand can follow the
process set out on our website:
https://archives.govt.nz/manage-information/how-to-
manage-your-information/transfer/digital-transfer.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision
to transfer. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or Freephone 0800 802 602.
