Archiving Email Symposium

Cost: $8.50
Location: Tiakiwai Conference area, National Library of New Zealand
Managing, accessing and preserving email archives
As organisations and institutions increasingly manage and process born-digital content, they are also increasingly working with large quantities of complex email messages and their attachments. However, workflows, toolsets and policies for managing, accessing and preserving email archives are emergent and changeable.
Discuss the challenges and solutions
In the face of these challenges, the Alexander Turnbull Library is hosting a symposium of practitioners and researchers on 30 Thursday and 31 January 2020, who are working with email archives. We are also pleased to be joined, thanks to the support of the Fulbright Specialist programme, by Peter Chan, a digital archivist from Stanford University Libraries and the project manager of the ePADD project.
This meeting will bring together representatives of various government departments, local councils, academic and research libraries, technologists, curators, archivists and records managers working on collecting and preserving email to discuss challenges and solutions.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
