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.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
