MONIQUE FORD/Stuff Record-keeping in the public sector is still inconsistent and worrying, a new Archives New Zealand report has found. Of 214 respondents in the new report – which includes ministries, departments, councils, district health boards, parliament offices and education entities – just 39 per cent had identified information that they hold which was of importance to Māori. “It is a significant finding,” chief archivist Stephen Clarke said. Of the respondents which said they don’t, or don’t know if they hold information that’s of importance to Māori, 61 per cent conducted business that intersects with the interests of Māori, including health, education, employment and the environment.
