Show Notes
Archives New Zealand's shutting down its digital archiving programme.
It's part of an initiative to digitise historically significant images and documents.
But the agency says it's been unable to secure further funding, and it will have to cut at least three jobs.
Historian Paul Moon told Mike Hosking that this is important work and should remain.
He says the Government should cobble together the small amount of funding needed to keep it going.
