Yours Faithfully - Cul8tr.

ARANZ President, Joanna Newman, gathered a number of poignant illustrations for a radio interview on the 2009 Records and Archives Week theme, Yours Faithfully - Cul8tr. Correspondence in Records and Archives, earlier this year. The feature is based on the interview and includes letters not read on air because of time constraints. (pdf) . Joanna described and read some of these letters on Radio New Zealand Nationals’ Nine to Noon programme with presenter Lynne Freeman on May 12. The nine-minute audio file is available at:  www.radionz.co.nz/__data/assets/audio_item/0006/1943376/ntn-20090512-0940-Archives-m048.asx
