"ARCHWAY" gone -- Archives New Zealand Re-name their Website :

[Lucy2]

Hi All

Not sure if this has been mentioned here previously ... but just to let you know that Archives New Zealand have done away with their website name " ARCHWAY "
...  and this has been replaced with the title  " COLLECTIONS  SEARCH "  :   

[Now that's going to take some getting used to, isn't it ?    ]

Thanks Lu.

Might trip some people up, especially if you don't visit the site regularly!

Thanks Lucy2,

Yes, it looks completely different!

Currently I'm ordering files using an online form and specifying a date to view, but two days ago I was finding them via Archway. Have to retrain...

Has anyone actually managed to do a search yet?

I've been hitting the Maroon 'Search for Records" button intermittently all day but eventually it just times out.

Newsletter from NZSG said

"Archives New Zealand
Did you know that on 8 February, Archives New Zealand are replacing Archway with a new way of searching their collections? To get the best out it you will need a RealMe login. You may already have used one for your student loan, passport renewal or National Super. Time to find that password!


If you don't have a RealMe login, go to www.realme.govt.nz and you will find what you need to do to get a login.

We'll bring you more information on the new Archives NZ search in the next issue!

Hi Mckha,

I was able to find an ITM earlier today without a RealMe login. It took me to the right page and clicking on a right then opened the form to order files and book a viewing time which is the current process.

I've just tried to log in using my RealMe details and it failed twice.

I'm going in on Monday to see files, so I'll ask for advice.

Thank you Spades.
Hope you can get there OK (past the “group”)

Hi All

Have only had time so far to attempt a couple of quick searches.   

Yes, my RealMe  log-in has been rejected also.   

Checked on an "Archway" link I'd supplied to a thread just a matter of weeks ago, and got a rather horrible-looking error message.

According to a  member only FB group page, there is a lot of grumbles about the site.
