Kia ora,

I’m thrilled to announce that the Armson Collins Architectural Drawing collection has been inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World New Zealand documentary heritage register. The register highlights significant documentary heritage as a way of demonstrating the importance of preserving and providing access to all documentary heritage.

Yesterday, Anne, Jo and I attended the inscription ceremony at the National Library Wellington. We had to keep the news confidential until the announcement yesterday.

It is really wonderful to have this well-used and important collection on the register.

There is more info on the UC website,   Stuff , or read the nomination I wrote about the collection here.
