Biography
I have a Post Graduate Degree in Archives Administration from the University of New South Wales and over 20 years experience in the records and archives management industries. When not teaching I carry out records management and archives management consultancy work around New Zealand, and run a local history collection on a volunteer basis.
Research Interest
I have been involved in a number of articles, talks and seminars relating to archives and records management. My current research interests focus on the importance of context as it relates to records, especially when it comes to aiding user understanding.
