2023 Winner

2023: Logan City Council sponsored by Information Proficiency

The team have been successfully advocating for the industry within their organisation by running Information Awareness Month events for the past 7 years. This year saw the publication of a 4 part story on the history of records management at Logan, a trivia competition, a weekly story in the Council’s bulletin plus much more, achieving their goal to increase awareness of R&IM across the business.

Pamela Hall

Pamela was an archivist at the National Archives in New Zealand (now known as Archives New Zealand) in the 1950’s. Pamela gave lectures on archives at the Library School and at many conferences. She made an enormous foundational contribution to records and information management in New Zealand and is most well-known for her heroic actions as a young archivist in salvaging some of New Zealand’s most valuable public records after a fire swept through Wellington’s Hope Gibbons Building in 1952. Pamela worked alongside the demolition crew and ultimately saved more than 300 cubic metres of records.
