RAPID Heritage
Enabling access to New Zealand's Heritage.
Preserve and learn information about your family and New Zealand's history, through my record retrieval service.
Located in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand and the seat of Government, I have access to non-digitised records from various repositories throughout the region.

R
Record
Firstly, contact me with the information you would like me to access.
Note: If you have the code from the repository, such as the R-Number from Archives, New Zealand, that would be useful.
A
Access
If there is no restriction on the record, and you have gained permission to view it and formally authorised me, I'll order the record from the repository.
P
Preparation
The repository will prepare the record for my on-site viewing and scanning.
I
Illuminated
I'll scan the record using the Adobe Scan mobile app for documents and in RAW format (photo).
Scans and photographs will be reproduced as accurately as possible and will not be enhanced or altered.
D
Delivered
The final PDF/A (password-protected PDF) and photos (RAW format) will be shared by Google Drive with metadata included.
Password to access the PDF/A will be given upon full payment.
