	(1.) Papers offered for archiving were generally no longer held in any particular system or order.  As part of the transfer process they were grouped by Archives New Zealand into subject areas, and then chronologically by date.  For such files, titles have been placed in square brackets [ ] to indicate that this information has been added for purposes of ready identification.

	(2.) The digital documents in this series are listed on Archway. Any digital records that are open access will be readily available by clicking the hyperlinks in the record entries. These records are only held by Archives New Zealand in digital form.

	This series comprises personal and political records created and received by the Hon. Mita Ririnui, relating to his political career and ministerial portfolios.  Subject files cover various topics and include correspondence, notes, background papers, briefings and Cabinet papers primarily relating to his Associate Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations ministerial portfolio and, later, opposition spokesperson role. 

	In addition, the series includes information on various pieces of legislation and Labour Party policy, with a particular focus on Maori-related issues.  Media records (speeches and press releases) are also included, largely pertaining to Mr Ririnui's ministerial portfolios of Associate Health and Associate Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations.

	E7 Speeches and photographs

	The documents were received already arranged into two main folders - Hauora and Photos.

	Digital folders have been represented in Archway as sub series. In these sub series some of the original folder titles contained abbreviations. Where known, these have been expanded in square brackets to aid researchers in discovering the records.

	Inside the folders the records were arranged alphabetically by the file system according to the filenames. The titles for the records listed in Archway are the filenames without the file extension on the end. Most have not been amended in any way, which means they may contain typographical errors. However, some of the original titles contained abbreviations. Where known, these have been expanded in square brackets to aid researchers in discovering the records.

	The dates in Open and Close Years are automatically derived from file metadata. Such metadata may have been altered over time unintentionally and therefore may not reflect the actual dates on which those files were created or last modified. Researchers are advised to use other metadata (such as record titles and sub-series titles) as well as content to estimate such dates.

	Access conditions

	(1.)  Record lists:

	Access to the record lists for the collection of Hon. Mita Ririnui is open.

	(2.) Access to records:

	Restrictions apply to the records.  All requests to view records should be directed to Archives New Zealand in the first instance.

	Records are subject to vetting and a process of consultation before they may be viewed.

	Records remain restricted until marked as ‘open’ access.

	Explanatory notes

	Access to all records is restricted, except with the permission of Hon. Mita Ririnui  or, following his death, with the permission of the Chief Archivist. Hon. Mita Ririnui  will consult with the Chief Archivist before granting access to his records, in order to be provided with any relevant information on official documents, before making a decision.

	Information on access to official/non-official documents follows. Please note that all enquiries to access Hon. Mita Ririnui 's collection should be directed to the Chief Archivist in the first instance, as it is not always apparent if official documents are contained in a given record.

	Note on access to official documents

	The process of consultation has been established in order to meet the recommendations in the Cabinet Manual Chapter 8 and Cabinet Circular CO (05) 9. The Manual and Circular recommend that official documentation should be appropriately restricted, to ensure that conditions of access reflect the sensitivity of the information, and that these conditions of access should mirror the principles and provisions set out in the Official Information Act 1982.

	Requests for access to the records are to follow the checking process for official documents as approved by Cabinet and set out in the Cabinet Manual and Cabinet Circular.

	The final decision as to whether or not access will be granted to official documentation will rest with Hon. Mita Ririnui . Following his death, the final decision as to whether or not access will be granted to official documentation will rest with the Chief Archivist.

	Note on access to non-official documents

	The checking process does not apply to requests to access non-official documents, such as party political papers or personal correspondence. Please note, however, that all access requests should be initially directed to the Chief Archivist, who will first confirm whether or not a record contains official documents. Following this, granting of public access to non-official documents remains at the discretion of Hon. Mita Ririnui . Following the death of the depositor, records will be made available by the Chief Archivist as appropriate, depending on the nature of their contents.
