Extending his skill-set to commercial document scanning, Andy co-founded Desktop Imaging Ltd in 1997 (www.desktopimaging.co.nz); and the Heritage Materials Imaging Facility in 2003 (www.hmif.co.nz). Andy is arguably one person who is overseen more heritage digitisation projects than any other kiwi! Whilst expert in the application of digitisation services for the collections of “memory institutions” he places equal value in being able to represent the views of the wider community as well as Government and commercial user sectors and is sympathetic to the needs of iwi. He has spent over 18 years working closely with a great number of such organisations throughout New Zealand. Through extensive networks and contacts nationally and internationally he is able to offer insight into historical and current programmes and projects.
Andy was elected to the inaugural National Digital Forum Board in 2006, the ARANZ Council in 2005, Archives NZ Digitisation Standard Advisory Group in 2006 and the Australia/New Zealand Joint Standards Committee (MS/4) for Information and Image Management in 1996. In the past 3 years he has been proactive in the dissemination of information in this area and is a vocal advocate of collaboration and the NDF’s Register of Digital Initiatives. This has been primarily undertaken through digitisation training workshops given throughout New Zealand and in Singapore.
Andy is married to Audrey (Co-Director of NZMS and DI) and they have two children - Michael and Kate.
