Both agencies provide core archiving services for television and radio, respectively.

NZ On Air allocates around $1 million per year for archiving services, with the aim of ensuring programmes and broadcasts likely to be of historical significance to New Zealanders are preserved.
On 3 November 2004 NZ On Air convened a symposium on broadcast archiving entitled "Sound and Light". The day saw lively discussion between a group of interested parties, and a brief report on the outcomes of the symposium was compiled by symposium facilitators, Dr Roger Horrocks and Mr Brian Pauling.
