On Wednesday 12th May 1 – 3pm the MB team will be heading out to have a ‘behind the scenes’ look at the newly opened Ngai Tahu Archives/Archives NZ in Wigram.  If you would like to come with us,  please let your Manager and myself know (we’ll be taking a number of UC vehicles).

Also if you’re  curious about what we hold in the UC Archives and haven’t been over to the warehouse in a while or had a chance to look, we’d be happy to show you around too!
