evan greensides
I am an Information Management Consultant based in Ōtautahi | Christchurch with a 14 year career spanning New Zealand galleries, libraries, archives, museums and records (GLAMR). I have a deep understanding of technical and management roles across both records and archives, in physical and digital formats, which I can bring to bear on any project or collection.

HISTORY
Senior Archivist, Archives Central
I was the Senior Archivist at Archives Central for five years. Under my guidance, Archives Central undertook a full redevelopment of its database and content management system (CMS). Archives Central was confirmed as one of the first institutions globally to adopt the cutting-edge Records in Context Conceptual Model (RiC-CM) developed by the International Council of Archives (ICA). Stored material from local authorities grew by 100%+ under my direction.
President, Archives and Records Association of New Zealand (ARANZ)
During my tenure, first as Vice-President, then President, I oversaw the successful running of ARANZ for three years. I successfully negotiated key Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with tertiary institutions and professional bodies. I also launched outreach initiatives, such as the Lunchtime Kōrero talks to support members during COVID. I also coordinated the 2024 Conference, Opening the Archives.
Trust Board Member, Te Manawa
Over a three-year period I provided strategic direction for Te Manawa aligning the institution with its key stakeholder, Palmerston North City Council. I collaborated closely with fellow trustees and utilised previous experience to ensure the best outcomes.
