We said farewell to Assistant Archivist Jennie Hood on 23 March.

Jennie is moving to full time work at the Canterbury Museum. During Jennie’s 2 ½ years with us, she has worked on integrating and checking the collection transferred to Christchurch from the Auckland Methodist Archives, sorted out some of the digital files sent to Archives and loaded our collection inventories, research guides, photographs and indexes onto the Methodist Church website.

Jennie has been responsible to ensuring the printed Minutes of the Methodist Conference from 1900-2001 have been digitally scanned and can be read on our website. This is a fantastic resource for not just the Methodist Connexion but for researchers world-wide. https://www.methodist.org.nz/whakapapa/archives/methodist-history/minutes-of-conference-digital-copies/

We are going to miss Jennie and wish her well in her archives work at the Canterbury Museum.
