Iwi archivists as recordmakers?

This paper is a brief summary of a presentation and the ensuing discussion that was part of a workshop on recent developments in iwi (tribal) archives at the LIANZA Conference, held in Wellington, New Zealand, in November 2002. The presentation was made to an audience of Maori librarians and those who work with Maori information, who may not be accustomed to working with information from a record‐keeping perspective. The paper introduces some core issues in electronic record keeping and then looks at ways in which the lessons of electronic records management may be applied to other aspects of record keeping.
