Archifacts Journal
Archifacts is the journal of the Archives and Records Association of New Zealand Te Huinga Mahara. It is published yearly in physical form and distributed free to members. For non-members, electronic versions are available on the ARANZ website after 18 months.
Scope
The journal welcomes contributions on archive, recordkeeping, and related preservation issues. Heritage components of information and/or document management will also be considered. This includes discussion of theory, practice, events, people, ideas, viewpoints and research.
Contributions can be in the form of articles, opinion pieces, reviews, and summarised person-related content such as obituaries and celebratory pieces. The Journal is keen to accept content from practitioners, consultants, students, academics, and researchers. Authors do not have to be members of ARANZ to submit content.
Preference is given to content relating to Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific, but articles can be of a more international nature. A double-blind peer review option is available for longer and more academic articles.
Anyone interested in making a submission to the journal should email the Editor to discuss their plans.
