Author Biography

Chris Scott

Chris Scott has been an Archivist for Business Information Solutions (BIS) Dunedin City Council since 2010. Before that he was employed primarily in museums in New Zealand (including Otago Museum,
Hayes Engineering Works Museum, Toitu/ Settlers Museum, Dunedin Gasworks Museum), and at the Royal Armouries Museum (Headquarters of the Tower of London) in Leeds, England. The use of archival material as a museum resource at the latter museum has led to an interest in the material and textual similarities of archives and objects. He was involved in producing both an object catalogue and an archival one for the Dunedin Gasworks Museum. Chris has also worked at The Hocken Collections, University of Otago on Archives cataloguing.
