A day of national grief in New Zealand's capital city: the late Prime Minister's funeral on May 14. The long cortege passing through Courtney Place, Wellington on the seven-mile journey to Point Halswell, where the mortal remains of William Ferguson Massey were laid to rest.

Never trust that anything that’s digitised or available online will be available forever. Digitisation is not preservation, and tech companies aren’t archivists or librarians. The presence of hard copy in a physical collection is the only guarantee of long-term survival

An important job done by @NLNZ is "harvesting" valuable Aotearoa websites so they're not lost in the mists of time. Nick Bollinger has written a great story about one such site: John Archer's NZ Folk Song collection.
In 2021 Archer was surprised... 1/3 https://t.co/Tr2a7Xdt9w

Opinion piece says on Independent Review says "Give us some ****ing money for libraries instead of laureates and posters and we’ll show you some ****ing effects!” Or, to put it more succinctly still – “Give us some ****ing money.” https://t.co/vK6Q0YFIHT

Aotearoa artist files are magic portals for research + inspiration: exhibition catalogues, reviews, CVs, pricelists... I wrote a blog about them here: https://t.co/2pxIkA2hmZ #archives #nzart #nzartists
