Take a look at the Community Archives website where the Macmillan Brown Library Archives are featured as “Contributor of the Day”: http://thecommunityarchive.org.nz/contributors

This is basically just a “test load” which doesn’t include things like images, or date ranges – yet! There are tens of thousands more items to come and glitches will be ironed out as we progress.

The transfer of this amount of information with this level of detail is an unprecendented initiative by such a large NZ archive, made possible by the fantastic effort and collaboration between MB Library staff and Peter, Donna, and Margaret in Library IT.

Thank you to everyone involved, this is a huge step forward for making the Library’s archives accessible!
