Historical Societies and Preservation : Poster - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa
Abstract
Grid Heritage collects historic equipment, film footage, photographs and documents relating to electricity transmission in New Zealand. Transpower NZ Ltd builds, maintains, and operates the high voltage electricity transmission grid. Transpower’s Disposal Schedule lists “Discharge” as an option for disposal of records of no national archival value to Grid Heritage. Historical societies, like Grid Heritage, may already be experiencing challenges with their physical records. Whilst receiving electronic records will create further challenges for them, they do have the opportunity to prepare themselves for potentially receiving digital media. This poster will open for discussion on digital preservation for a small historical society.Details
