Records received by Archives NZ prior to 1985 were arranged into 'record groups' and this collection is organised in the same way. Lists of archives held for each record group are kept in binders and these can be ordered through Collections Search via the agency code ARNZ. Most of the same general agency information can be found via Collections Search. Some articles have been written that feature records in this collection - see Listing.
