You can view and comment on current disposal recommendations, or intentions to dispose, within the appraisal reports and disposal schedules that have been submitted for the Chief Archivist’s approval on the Intentions to Dispose page. Please note that only comments about disposal recommendations will be assessed as part of this process, for example:
Hardcopies and additional information may also be requested from appraisal@archives.govt.nz by quoting the Appraisal ID number. If you wish to be advised by email when new Intentions to Dispose are posted on the website, please email ‘subscribe’ to appraisal@archives.govt.nz.
If you wish to comment, please complete the online Disposal Comment Form below or via the Intention to Dispose page and return it to Archives New Zealand before the comment due date. The Disposal Comment Form [RTF 43kb] can also be printed out or is available from any of our Reading Rooms.
Once this process is complete, the Chief Archivist’s final approval is given through the issue of a disposal authority to the public office. A summary and analysis of all comments received will be made available on the Approved Disposal Authorities page within 20 working days of the comment due date. All current (as at August 2006) Disposal Authorities are also accessible within Archway.
