To Stuart, Teachers records were offered back to teachers to uplift when the Educations Boards ceased to be. Those not removed were thrown out, from what I understand. This was the case for Auckland Education Board and I expect for others. The majority of the salary cards for those under Hamilton and Auckland areas were saved and are in Archives NZ, Auckland. At present they are being indexed and placed on Archway but only up to 'M' [midway thru] to date although later surnames can be accessed. Married women are under married name but cross-indexed with maiden name. Some cards are more detailed than others and may include up to 50 years of a teachers career, listing all schools, including Native schools and delightful personal items of days off for their marriage or a family members death, etc. Great for those researching teachers born late 1800's with many years of teaching ahead. It's a "lucky dip" as to what is on the cards and close off date was late 1960's to 1974. Noeleen.
