@aucklandmuseum With:

David Reeves @requironz Library and Information Advisory Commission (LIAC)
Chris Szekely Alexander Turnbull Library chief librarian

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz Memory of the World was launched by UNESCO back in 1992. NZ's main focus is on a register of documentary heritage. unescomow.org.nz

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz The things we need to achieve can do be done working in silos says @bmacnz

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz Bill talks about trying to prioritize projects and talking across the GLAM sector around NZ to collaborate effectively to gain government support.

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz David Reeves says we need a picture of what we want & what we've got. He calls for leadership, it's difficult to have a national mandate for collections while attending to leadership. This requires a willingness of others to be led.

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz Chris Szekely Alexander Turnbull Library chief librarian @NLNZ mentions the importance of the #LIANZA19 theme - the importance of family.

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz Tells a moving story of the premature death of his mother - a story of too many Māori women. Then how he entered the civil service and librarianship. He wanted to create books in and for Māori

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz Due to treaty claims we have the stories of how land was taken - rare globally. Chris feels privileged to work to collect Māori documentary heritage

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz He feels compelled with a sense of urgency to preserve Māori whakapapa. Libraries were the starting point for many seeking their identity. Documentary heritage is not an abstract concept, it is PERSONAL.

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz No whakapapa means no identity.

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz Govt needs to co-design this framework with Māori

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz Ngā Taonga Acting Chief Executive Honiana Love has stepped in for Rebecca @NgaTaongaCE

@aucklandmuseum @bmacnz @NLNZ @NgaTaongaCE @requironz Home movies show a personal slice of live you don't get in official records. Making these collections accessible must be collaborative. The Y262 treaty claim is an important framework.
