Our thanks goes to our Councillor Joseph Gillard who successfully put together the application and followed it through to its conclusion. The Society will shortly be advertising for an Executive Officer to manage our new office and research centre on a day to day basis. It has been decided to rename the collection to better reflect what it contains. This collection is definitely worth a search for that elusive person. At the last Council meeting three branches were allocated funds to help with their work doing NZSG projects at a local level.
Funds are available for other branches that meet the criteria and wish to apply.
New Officers Murray Dean has been appointed Archives NZ Card Index Transcribing Project Leader. This project will lead to more information being made available to our members in index form.
